Watanabe S., Prokhorov V (Eds). Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics

Proceedings of the Fifth Japan-USSR Symposium, held in Kyoto, Japan, July 8-14, 1986. — Springer, 1998. — 595 p.The Fifth Japan-USSR Symposium on Probability Theory was held at Kyoto University, July 8-14, 1986. Attendance from USSR numbered 25 and from Japan 190. This volume contains the papers presented at the symposium. Records of the meetings, lists of the Organizing Committee and a list of the local editorial committee of the Proceedings are attached at the end of the volume.As well as the previous four, the fifth one was very fruitful not only in promoting probability and statistics in both countries but also in producing mutual understanding. We express our deep gratitude to all those who have contributed to the success of the symposium and who made efforts in preparing the proceedings. The support made by Mathematical Society of Japan, Kyoto University, and Japan World Exposition ('70) Commemorative Fund is greatly acknowledged.
