Utilizing Poisson random measures, this book presents a novel approach to modeling complex systems influenced by random sources, such as financial interest rates and temperature variations. It explores the solutions of stochastic differential equations, focusing on their long-term behavior and sensitivity to initial conditions. The authors delve into integration theory within Banach spaces, extending beyond the typical Gaussian frameworks. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, it requires a solid understanding of stochastic processes, probability, and functional analysis.

From March 4, 2016, mumok is presenting two young artists who both reflect critically on contemporary concepts of nostalgia, re-evaluating these with new works made especially for this mumok show. Kathi Hofer (born 1981 in Hallein) draws on her own family history and an Austrian fashion icon - the artist comes from the Salzburg Hofer family that, up to the year 2000, produced the Austrian clothing brand Walkjanker. The timeless elegance of these clothes survived trends and technological innovation for fifty years, and they were included in the portfolios of top fashion houses and magazines and worn by international stars - including actress Grace Kelly, the writer Ernest Hemingway, and the Paris fashion designer Kenzo. Eloise Hawser (born 1985 in London) also works with objects that may seem to be long obsolete, bringing these under new conditions into the context of contemporary art. Her work for mumok is based on her ongoing research on cinema organs. Exhibition: Mumok, Wien, Austria (04.03.-22.05.2016).
