Gaussian Processes on Trees

‘The text is a very well-written presentation of the motivations and recent developments in the study of the extreme process of the BBM. This provides a perfect guide for any researcher interested in this field, especially those who are looking for a relatively quick introduction.’ Bastien Mallein, Mathematical Reviews ‘When discussing most of the questions, the author pays good attention to both ideas and techniques. He presents a large number of results, many of them are non-trivial limit theorems. Some results are classical in the field, others are quite new, published very recently. While some of the results belong to the author, credit is given to several other contributors in the area. Besides the many results given with their proofs, the author includes useful bibliographical notes in the end of each chapter. The book ends with a comprehensive list of 117 references and Index. This is a well-written book on hot topics from modern stochastics and its applications. The book can be recommended to researchers and university graduate students.’ Jordan M.
