The lectures on the new dates will be held on the classrom 107 from 12:15 to 14:00. 

In this course we will study the continuous time nonlinear stochastic filtering problem and some of its applications to mathematical finance.

The program, time permitting, will be the following:

- Introduction of the problem

- The filtering problem as a measure valued random evolution.

- Review on stochastic processes and stochastic integration.

-The filtering equations: the Zakai and Kushner-Stratonovich equations.

- Properties of the solutions of the filtering equations.

- Finite dimensional filters: the Benes and Kalman-Bucy filter.

- Numerical methods: particle filters.

- Basics on discrete time stochastic filtering.  

- Applications to mathematical finance.

The main reference for the course is 

Bain, A. and Crisan, D. Fundamentals of Stochastic Filtering Springer Verlag 2009.
