This third monograph in the book series Modern Probability andStatistics can be regarded as a comprehensive introduction to thetheory of stable distributions and their applications. It contains amodern outlook on the mathematical aspects of this theory. Theauthors have attempted to explain numerous peculiarities of stabledistributors and have supplied the basic material with a descriptionof the principle concepts of probability theory and functionanalysis. A significant part of this book is devoted to applicationsof stable distributions. An attractive feature of this book is thematerial on the interconnection of stable laws with fractals, chaosand anomalous transport processes.
This book will be interesting and useful to specialists inprobability theory and mathematical statistics, as well as toprofessionals working with the applications of these fields.
