Graduate Course: Stochastic Simulation 2000 =========================================== The second part of the course will be given by Olle Häggström. It will consist of three lectures wednesday 29/3, monday 3/4 and wednesday 5/4, 8-10 in MD6. More information on Olles www-page http://www.math.chalmers.se/~olleh/randomiserade_algoritmer.html Since Olles part of the course deals with simulation of Markov Chains, participants needs a little (but just a little) in terms of background knowledge about these objects. Here any kind of course (undergraduate or graduate) dealing with Markov Chains will do. People who do not have this (that is, any kind of) kackground knowledge are adviced to 1) contact Olle a bit in advance of his lectures, and 2) follow his lecures monday 20/3 and wednesday 22/3 (8-10 in MD6) giving the fundamentals about Markov theory. Participants should contact Olle anyway in order to get his lecture notes, that will make up the literature for his lectures. After Olles lectures follows lectures by Holger Rootzen. best regards Patrik Albin
