Bernstein functions appear in various fields of mathematics, e.g. probability theory, potential theory, operator theory, functional analysis and complex analysis - often with different definitions and under different names. Among the synonyms are Laplace exponent' instead of Bernstein function, and complete Bernstein functions are sometimes called Pick functions', Nevanlinna functions' or operator monotone functions'.
This monograph - now in its second revised and extended edition - offers a self-contained and unified approach to Bernstein functions and closely related function...

Stochastic processes occur everywhere in the sciences, economics and engineering, and they need to be understood by (applied) mathematicians, engineers and scientists alike. This book gives a gentle introduction to Brownian motion and stochastic processes, in general. Brownian motion plays a special role, since it shaped the whole subject, displays most random phenomena while being still easy to treat, and is used in many real-life models. Im this new edition, much material is added, and there are new chapters on ''Wiener Chaos and Iterated Itô Integrals'' and ''Brownian Local Times''.
