"This text book forms the basis of a graduate course on the theory and applications of Levy processes, from the perspective of their path fluctuations. Central to the presentation are decompositions of the paths of Levy processes in terms of their local maxima and an understanding of their short- and long-term behaviour." "The book aims to be mathematically rigorous while still providing an intuitive feel for underlying principles. The results and applications often focus on the case of Levy processes with jumps in only one direction, for which recent theoretical advances have yielded a higher degree of mathematical transparency and explicitness." "Each chapter has a comprehensive set of exercises with complete solutions."--Jacket.
