On Thursday, January 7, and Friday, January 8, 1999, MaPhySto will, as part of a thematic period on Lévy Processes, Product Integrals and Pathwise Integration in January 1999 organize the above-mentioned Concentrated Advanced Course. The thematic period also comprises a Workshop on Pathwise Integration and Product Integrals, January 11-13, 1999, and a Conference on Lévy Processes: Theory and Applications, January 18-22, 1999.
Two leading experts have agreed to be principal lecturers for the Advanced Course:
They recently finished a volume of Lecture Notes on the topic. The Course addresses PhD students, postdocs and researchers who want to learn about the history and recent developments in the classical approach to integration.
The Course focuses on the Riemann-Stieltjes integral and several of its extensions when neither integrator nor integrand have bounded variation. These integrals, as well as the product integral will be discussed with a view towards applications to sample functions of stochastic processes.

The latter item is the main objective of the Workshop that takes place in the week following the Advanced Course. It is intended to bring together specialists from different areas such as probability theory, stochastic processes, statistics, physics, finance and analysis, and to discuss pathwise, stochastic and product integration techniques.
It is the main goal of the organisers and the principal lecturers to achieve a fruitful, perhaps controversial, discussion about pathwise integration techniques, their advantages and limits.

No financial support is available. Participants are expected to have their expenses covered by their home institutions. Note however, that there is no registration fee.
The deadline for registration was December 1, 1998. Late registrations may be considered.
