Markov chains. Discrete and continuous time Markov chains, random walk; application to queues, molecular biology, phylogeny. Hidden Markovian models; probabilistic study of genome.

Stochastic processes. Continuous time Markov processes and diffusions, Gaussian processes, Brownian motion, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process; application to reliability, finance. Branching processes; application to genealogy.

Jump processes. Stable processes, Lévy processes.

Random motions in space. Hyperbolic Fokker-Planck equations of order higher than 2; Markovian pseudo-processes associated with heat-type equations of order higher than 2.

Random matrices. Application to the computation of entropy in quantum physics.

Inference statistics. Functional estimating, goodness of fit tests (tests of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramér-von Mises-type).

Random simulation. Simulation of Markov chains and stochastic processes. Monte-Carlo methods: applications to solving some partial differential equations, computing some electrical potentials.
