Stochastic Integration by Parts and Functional Itô Calculus
The notes of the course by Vlad Bally are co-authored with her collaborator Lucia Caramellino. They develop integration by parts formulas in an abstract setting, extending Malliavin’s work on abstract Wiener spaces, and thereby being applicable to prove absolute continuity for a broad class of random vectors. Properties like regularity of the density, estimates of the tails, and approximati…

Nonlinear Mechanics of Soft Fibrous Materials
The book presents a state-of-the-art overview of the fundamental theories, established models and ongoing research related to the modeling of these materials. Two approaches are conventionally used to develop constitutive relations for highly deformable fibrous materials. According to the phenomenological approach, a strain energy density function can be defined in terms of strain invariants. T…

Enforcing and Trading Patents Evidence for Europe
Applying novel datasets, Fabian Gäßler analyzes how key aspects of the current patent system in Europe and Germany, respectively, affect patent enforcement and patent trade. In particular, he shows what factors determine court selection in patent litigation and how the jurisdictional separation of validity and infringement questions favors the patent holder. The author further provides empiri…
