Content
In the first part of the lecture we consider Markov chains in discrete- and continuous-time. These kind of processes are often taken as models for the random evolution of systems in various areas like e.g. telecommunication, production planning, biology and physics. The aim is to show some convergence results which describe the long-term behavior of these systems.
In the second part of the lecture we discuss in detail the Brownian motion, in particular its existence, path properties, the reflexion principle and the strong Markov property.
Prerequisite
Some knowledge of probability theory is required.
