Abstract:
|
Blackwell's contributions range over many topics. This is to draw attention to his fundamental contributions to probability theory: his work associated with Blackwell spaces in the general theory of stochastic processes, his work on Markov processes with discrete state spaces, and Blackwell's renewal theorem, which is a basic result on the limiting behavior of regenerative processes.
