Although there are many books available on the theory of random processes, there are few books featuring rigorous exposition that are suitable for elementary instruction. This is such a book.
Designed for students who have had a general course in probability theory, it covers general topics in the theory of random processes (including measure theory and axiomatization of probability theory) as well as more specialized questions: processes with independent increments, Markov processes and limit theorems for random processes.
A significant feature of the book is a unique and beautiful treatment of processes with independent increments, which assumes no prior knowledge of the theory of infinitely divisible laws. A wealth of results, ideas and techniques distinguish this text, one of the first to survey in a rigorous way the more modern results in the theory of stochastic processes and to link them to earlier developments in the subject.
