Poisson Point Processes and Their Application to Markov Processes

An extension problem (often called a boundary problem) of Markov processes has been studied, particularly in the case of one-dimensional diffusion processes, by W. Feller, K. Itô, and H. P. McKean, among others. In this book, Itô discussed a case of a gen

Foreword

Professor Kiyosi Itô had been leaving Japan and working regularly in foreign countries for several years including 1969. During the summer vacation of that year, he returned to Japan, to his home in Kyoto, and had a pleasant time meeting again and communicating with Japanese researchers and students. He gave then a series of lectures at Kyoto University and Osaka University. The present volume consists of original manuscripts of those lectures. In the lectures, he treated a general theory of Poisson point processes and its applications to an extension problem (often called a boundary problem) of Markov processes. We know well that Itô applied the notion of Poisson point process to describe the sample functions of Lévy processes (additive processes, differential processes, or p
