The book is devoted to the systematic analysis of the asymptotic behavior of distributions for various typical functionals of Gaussian random processes and fields. In particular the asymptotic behavior of \(P(\sup_{t \in T} X(t) > u)\) as \(u \to \infty\) is investigated for a class of Gaussian and similar processes. Asymptotic expansions of probabilities of high excursion of Gaussian fields and limit theorems for the number of high excursions are also given. Special attention is paid to the development of asymptotical analysis methods (the method of comparison, the double sum method, the method of moments). Both, specialists in the theory of random processes and fields and scientists working in related areas that utilize this theory will no doubt find a great deal of new and useful information in this excellent book.
