Bernstein functions : theory and applications / René L. Schilling, Renming Song, Zoran Vondraček.

This text is a self-contained and unified approach to Bernstein functions and their subclasses, bringing together old and establishing new connections. Applications of Bernstein functions in different fields of mathematics are given, with special attention to interpretations in probability theory. A...
