Special issue on 'Analytical and computational methods in probability theory and its applications conference'

摘要

This special issue contains a selection of papers written by the participants of the international conference Analytical and Computational Methods in Probability Theory and its Applications—ACMPT-2017 which was held on October 23-27, 2017, at Lomonosov Moscow State University and RUDN University, Russia. The conference was organized under the auspices of the Moscow Mathematical Society. The conference was dedicated to the 90th birth anniversary of Alexander Solov'ev (Solovyev), an outstanding Russian probabilist and specialist in queueing theory (6.09.1927-6.04.2001). A nearly complete list of publications of A. Solov'ev can be found in [1]. Almost 200 talks were given, they presented recent developments in analytical, computational and asymptotic methods in probability theory and its applications with special emphasis on the fields of primary interest of Solov'ev, which include but are not restricted to queueing systems, reliability and risks, limit theorems, etc. The conference was attended by many experts in these areas, in particular, by many colleagues and former students of A. D. Solov'ev.
