From Brownian Motion to Stochastic Networks

Abstract:

This talk will begin with an introduction to one of the fundamental stochastic processes in probability theory, Brownian motion. Next comes a constrained version, called reflected Brownian motion, a process arising as a diffusion limit of stochastic networks and of interacting particle models in statistical physics. This leads to many mathematical questions, some of which we shall see in the talk.
