Overview: The book deals with several closely related topics concerning approxima­ tions and perturbations of random processes and their applications to some important and fascinating classes of problems in the analysis and design of stochastic control systems and nonlinear filters. The basic mathematical methods which are used and developed are those of the theory of weak con­ vergence. The techniques are quite powerful for getting weak convergence or functional limit theorems for broad classes of problems and many of the techniques are new. The original need for some of the techniques which

Unsere Söhne Raphael, Darius und Constantin wachsen deshalb zweisprachig auf, und sogar mein
