Markov Processes: Characterization and Convergence
Markov Processes: Characterization and Convergence
A]nyone who works with Markov processes whose state space is uncountably infinite will need this most impressive book as a guide and reference.
-American Scientist
There is no question but that space should immediately be reserved for this] book on the library shelf. Those who aspire to mastery of the contents should also reserve a large number of long winter evenings.

Ethier and Kurtz have produced an excellent treatment of the modern theory of Markov processes that is] useful both as a reference work and as a graduate textbook.
-Journal of Statistical Physics
Markov Processes presents several different approaches to proving weak approximation theorems for Markov processes, emphasizing the interplay of methods of characterization and approximation. Martingale problems for general Markov processes are systematically developed for the first time in book form. Useful to the professional as a reference and suitable for the graduate student as a text, this volume features a table of the interdependencies among the theorems, an extensive bibliography, and end-of-chapter problems.
