Dawson Mental Tests—Forms A and B

Some Local Approximations of Dawson – Watanabe

Let ξ be a Dawson–Watanabe superprocess in R such that ξt is a.s. locally finite for every t ≥ 0. Then for d ≥ 2 and fixed t > 0, the singular random measure ξt can be a.s. approximated by suitably normalized restrictions of Lebesgue measure to the ε-neighborhoods of supp ξt. When d ≥ 3, the local distributions of ξt near a hitting point can be approximated in total variation by those of a stat...

This is an excellent book-a model of thoughtful, academic analysis and insights, with a dash of historical relevance to give it the appearance of utility. Regionali7ation is good, necessa...

Arguing that the ballad is a genre that flourishes wi...
