Skorokhod's Ideas in Probability Theory

This volume, a collection of research papers published in English, 336 pp., is issued in 2000 by the Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, eds: V.Korolyuk, N.Portenko, H.Syta.

The volume is issued on occasion of the 70-th anniversary of A.V.Skorokhod's birthday.

The scientific papers of this volume are connected with either notions introduced into Probability Theory by A.V.Skorokhod or methods proposed by him for solving various problems of this science. A considerable part of the volume concerns the first outstanding work written by A.V.Skorokhod "Limit theorems for stochastic processes" (Theory Probab. Appl., 1956, Vol. 1, No. 3), - the work in which he proposed the method of a single probability space and introduced several topologies into the space of all functions without discontinuities of the second kind, and proved some limit theorems that were the deep generalization of the famous Donsker invariant principle.

Besides scientific papers, the volume contains the main landmarks of A.V.Skorokhod's biography, the list of his monographs, textbooks and popular-science books, and illustrated by some photos.

The volume may be useful for the experts in Probability Theory and its applications, and is accessible for post-graduates and magister degree students.
