the stochastic calculus. Problem 4 is the Dirichlet problem. Although this is purely deterministic we outline in Chapters VII and VIII how the introduc-tion of an associated Ito difiusion (i.e. solution of a stochastic difierential equation) leads to a simple, intuitive and useful stochastic solution, which is
