Description

This new book concerns itself with record values and branching processes as rich research areas of applied probability and satistics. Over the last few decades, numerous interesting articles on these topics appeared, dealing with theorectical problems ass well as a number of new applications. The authors have coordinated publishing works contributed by eminent researchers from all over the world. This book presents a selection of presentations of new developments and survey papers on the subjects of rec
