Approximation of some stochastic models

  • Chapter

Abstract

Approximation problems are of great importance in applied mathematics. The approximation itself consists in changing the initial mathematical model to another one which is more preferable to consider (e.g. from a computational point of view). At most the arising problems are implied by the problem of receiving quantitative estimates of the approximation accuracy.
