Francesco RUSSO     Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs)   (format .ps compressé)

Résumé: This paper will appear in "Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics", see http://www1.elsevier.com/homepage/about/mrwd/emp/menu.htm. and it constitutes a survey paper on the title subject. "Stochastic differential equations" (SDEs) appear today as a modeling tool in several sciences as telecommunications, economics, finance, biology and quantum field theory.

A stochastic differential equation is essentially a classical differential equation which is perturbed by a random noise. When nothing else is specified, SDE means in fact "ordinary" stochastic differential equation; in that case it corresponds to the perturbation of an ordinary differential equation. Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) are obtained as random perturbation of "partial" differential equations.
