2nd MaPhySto Levy Conference

2nd MaPhySto Conference on

Lévy Processes - Theory and Applications

21-25 January 2002

University of Aarhus

Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Aarhus
Auditorium F, Building 534

This Conference was a sequel to the international conference, with the same title, organized by MaPhySto 7-22 January 1999. As a result of the interest engendered by the first conference, it was decided to have Lévy processes as an ongoing thematic topic for MaPhySto activities, for several years. Information on past such activities can be found at the MaPhySto website. See moreover the recently published volume, from Birkhäuser, having also the title Lévy Processes. Theory and Applications (Editors: O.E. Barndorff-Nielsen, T. Mikosch and S. Resnick).
