December 13: Exam and Project Results     

December 6:  Solution to exam December 2 found below.

 

November 29: Exam will be given in English. Answers in Norwegian or English. No written material allowed.

TMA 4505 Fordypningsemne: Muntlig eksamen 2. desember på rom 922 Sentralbygg 2 mellom kl. 14 og 15:30. Ta kontakt for nærmere avtale.

The list of students registered for the written exam looks somewhat confusing to me. Please check your registration before Friday morning. The exam is at Trondheim Spektrum 09:00, rooms D1 (9) and E5 (1),

                       

November 22: Project reports shall not contain names, but student numbers.  The exam will be carried as outlined in the message below.

 

November 6: There have been no reservations about the date below. I hope the following is acceptable:

      • MA8109 for PhD-students and others: Written exam Dec. 2. Project report due the same date. No oral presentation.
      • TMA4505 for Ind. mat.-students: Project report due before the oral exam (around Dec. 2). Oral exam should include a short presentation of the project (about 10 minutes).

November 1: Exam date has been set to 2 December (This may be changed if it is too inconvenient).

That would then also be the deadline for the report.  Final lecture: Tuesday 22 November.

October 31: Sorry for not putting out the solution for Exercise 3 as promised.

October 12: Very readable supplementary notes: L.C. Evans: An Introduction to SDEs, UC Berkeley

October 11: Proposals for Projects 2011.

October 10: Some comments to Itô Diffusions (Chapter 7) found below. Suggestions for projects will be available tomorrow.

October 5: A short note about linear stochastic diff. equations and physical Brownian motion is found below. Exercise 3 is also available.

October3:  A new expanded version of the note about mean-square continuous functions is found below. The new parts should be read with some care (Not all details a checked out).

September 6: The first exercise is found below. Will be discussed in the last lecture hour Monday 12 September.

August 23:  Time and place for lectures are found below.

Unfortunately, Gnist is sold out for the textbook (B. Øksendal: Stochastic Differential Equations) but an order has been placed, and it should arrive in about 2 – 3 weeks. In the meantime, parts of the book is available at Google books or the full book at Springer Link

HISTORIE

Dette faget ble i sin tid startet som et seminar av professor Henrik H. Martens. Professor Martens, som døde 12. oktober 1993, var opptatt av å formidle matematiske metoder til resten av NTNU, og navnet henspeiler på hvordan stokastisk analyse kan brukes innenfor systemteori. Systemteori er ”abstrakt” ingeniør-vitenskap.  De siste gangene faget har vært forelest, har innholdet blitt hentet fra stokastiske differensialligninger.   

Hvem er Kiyoshi Itô? Professor Kiyoshi Itô ble født i Japan 7. september 1915, og døde 10. november 2008. Han var Professor Emeritus ved Kyoto University. Itô utviklet teorien for stokastiske integraler og stokastiske differensialligninger i 1940 og 50-årene, men forteller selv at det gikk over ti år før omverdenen tilegnet seg og satte pris på det han hadde gjort. Han kommenterer også at han allerede som student var svært utilfreds med sannsynlighetsregningen, som ikke engang var i stand til å definere en stokastisk variabel på skikkelig måte.  Dette fikk han ryddet opp i da han fikk tilgang på arbeidene til Kolmogorov og Lévy.

Norsk matematisk forening arrangerte sommeren 2005 Abel-Symposiet Stochastic Analysis and Applications, a Symposium in Honor of Kiyoshi Itô. Dessverre hadde hovedpersonen for dårlig helse til selv å delta.
