Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides topics traditionally found in the Sminaire de Probabilits (Martingale Theory, Stochastic Processes, questions of general interest in Probability Theory), this volume XXXIII presents nine contributions to the study of filtrations up to isomorphism. It also contains three graduate courses: Dynamics of stochastic algorithms, by M. Benaim; Simulated annealing algorithms and Markov chains with rare transitions, by O. Catoni; and Concentration of measure and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, by M. Ledoux. These up to date courses present the state of the art in three matters of interest to students in theoretical or applied Probability Theory, and to researchers as well.
