Taira, Kazuaki

Dr. TAIRA, Kazuaki, born in Tokyo, Japan, on January 1, 1946, was a professor of mathematics at the University of Tsukuba, Japan (1998–2009). He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1969 from the University of Tokyo, Japan, and his Master of Science degree in 1972 from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, where he served as an assistant from 1972 to 1978. The Doctor of Science degree was awarded to him on June 21, 1976, by the University of Tokyo, and on June 13, 1978, the Doctorat d'Etat degree was given to him by Universit\'{e} de Paris-Sud (Orsay), France. He had been studying there on the French government scholarship from 1976 to 1978.



Dr. TAIRA was also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), USA (1980–1981), was an associate professor at the University of Tsukuba (1981–1995), and a professor at Hiroshima University, Japan (1995–1998). In 1998, he accepted the offer from the University of Tsukuba to teach there again as a professor. He was a part-time professor at Waseda University (Tokyo), Japan, from 2009 to 2017.



His current research interests are in the study of three interrelated subjects in analysis: semigroups, elliptic boundary value problems, and Markov processes.

Real Analysis Methods for Markov Processes</a>

Real Analysis Methods for Markov Processes

This book is devoted to real analysis methods for the problem of constructing Markov processes with boundary conditions in probability theory. Analytically, a Markovian particle in a domain of Euclidean space is governed by an integro-differential operator, called the Waldenfels operator, in the interior of the domain, and it obeys a boundary condition, called the Ventcel (Wentzell) boundary condition, on the boundary of the domain.

Functional Analytic Techniques for Diffusion Processes</a>

Functional Analytic Techniques for Diffusion Processes

This book is an easy-to-read reference providing a link between functional analysis and diffusion processes. More precisely, the book takes readers to a mathematical crossroads of functional analysis (macroscopic approach), partial differential equations (mesoscopic approach), and probability (microscopic approach) via the mathematics needed for the hard parts of diffusion processes.
