Prerequisites and co-requisites
To successfully learn the discipline Advanced course of Analysis and Probability Theory the student should satisfy the following requirements. They know (a) fundamentals of mathematical methods for construction, verification and investigation of qualitative characteristics of deterministic and stochastic mathematical models; (b) classical methods of Calculus and Probability Theory. They can (a) investigate qualitative characteristics of available mathematical models; (b) apply classical methods for solving applied problems in deterministic and stochastic models; (c) analуze the nature and goals of construction of mathematical structures and models. They should be able to (a) apply classical methods of Calculus and Probability Theory; (b) seek information in open sources and properly analyze it.
Course content
The discipline is aimed at learning basic results of Renewal Theory for random walks with nonnegative steps and mastering technical tools which are intrinsic to this subject area. The subject matter includes classical theorems of Renewal Theorem like the elementary renewal theorem, Blackwell’s theorem, the key renewal theorem, the strong law of large numbers for the number of renewals. The present course is a natural continuation of the disciplines “Calculus” and “Probability Theory”.
