This book is a thorough and self-contained treatise of martingales as a tool in stochastic analysis, stochastic integrals and stochastic differential equations. The book is clearly written and details of proofs are worked out.

The theory of the Lebesgue integral is a main pillar in the foundation of modern analysis and its applications, including probability theory. This volume shows how and why the Lebesgue integral is such a universal and powerful concept.

The lines of development of the theory are made clear by the order in which the main theorems are presented. Frequent references to earlier theorems made in the proofs emphasize the interdependence of the theorems and help to show how the various definitions and theorems fit together. Counter-examples are included to show why a hypothesis in a theorem cannot...

This book presents a unified treatise of the theory of measure and integration. In the setting of a general measure space, every concept is defined precisely and every theorem is presented with a clear and complete proof with all the relevant details. Counter-examples are provided to show that certain conditions in the hypothesis of a theorem cannot be simply dropped. The dependence of a theorem on earlier theorems is explicitly indicated in the proof, not only to facilitate reading but also to delineate the structure of the theory. The precision and clarity of presentation make the book an...
