Advances in Superprocesses and Nonlinear PDEs

Sergei Kuznetsov is one of the top experts on measure valued branching processes (also known as "e;superprocesses"e;) and their connection to nonlinear partial di?erential operators. His research interests range from stochastic processes and partial di?erential equations to mathematical statistics, time series analysis and statistical software; he has over 90 papers published in international research journals. His most well known contribution to probability theory is the "e;Kuznetsov-measure."e; A conference honoring his 60th birthday has been organized at Boulder, Colorado in the summer of 2010, with the participation of Sergei Kuznetsov s mentor and major co-author, Eugene Dynkin. The conference focused on topics related to superprocesses, branching diffusions and nonlinear partial differential equations. In particular, connections to the so-called Kuznetsov-measure were emphasized. Leading experts in the field as well as young researchers contributed to the conference. The meeting was organized by J. Englander and B. Rider (U. of Colorado).
