Course Goals / Objectives:
Fundamentals of deterministic dynamical systems; linear systems, linearization
Build the foundation of the axiomatic theory of probability as developed by Kolmogorov: sets, measurable spaces, conditional probability, random variables, expectations, conditioning, independence, convergence of random variables
Use of indirect tools for probabilistic analysis: Generating functions: moment generating functions, characteristic functions; limit theorems: laws of large numbers and central limit theorem
Develop basic understanding of random processes, starting with sources of uncertainty in dynamic systems. Focus initially on linear dynamic random systems, power spectral density, wide sense stationary processes
Build an in-depth understanding of Markov chains, their recurrence and stationarity. Develop the theory that leads to sampling algorithms, importance sampling, Markov chain Monte Carlo and stochastic optimization
Develop the theory and tools for continuous time stochastic processes: stochastic differential equations, Brownian motion, Monte Carlo simulations, Direct moment closure, stochastic linearization, Fokker-Planck equations and its stationary solutions
