A Blaisdell Book in Pure and Applied Mathematics. From the introduction: "The fundamental work of Doob and Hunt has shown, during the last ten years or so, that a certain form of potential theory (the study of kernels which satisfy the 'complete maximum principle') and a certain branch of probability theory (the study of Markov semigroups and processes) in reality constitute a single theory. It is not a purely formal matter. Probabilistic methods have led to a much better understanding of certain fundamental ideas of potential theory (e.g. balayage, thinness, polar sets) ; they have above all led to a host of new results in potential theory. In turn, probability theory has received comparable mathematical advantages from this association, and a very important psychological benefit: a marked enlargement of its public, and the end of an old isolation of twenty or thirty years. Because of this isolation, a probabilistic background has been lacking in a number of mathematicians to whom probabilistic methods could be of great service. One can thus imagine the usefulness of a work, intended for researchers rather than students, which might put at their disposal simultaneously the elements of probability theory and some of its more advanced aspects. This need is the raison d'etre of the present book.". First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good++ EX-LIBRARY/No jacket. 8vo. xxi, 658pp.
