Stochastic Processes and their Applications publishes papers on the theory and applications of stochastic processes. It is concerned with concepts and techniques, and is oriented towards a broad spectrum of mathematical, scientific and engineering interests.Characterization, structural properties and descriptive distributions of stochastic processes and stochastic systems, limit-theoretic behavior, robustness of models, and related topics are covered. The journal also publishes papers on stochastic processes dealing with allied questions of inference, optimization, control and reliability. Every effort is made to promote innovation, vitality, and communication between disciplines.
