“This book is an excellent, rigorous monograph on stochastic partial differential equations with reflections at a boundary. … Engineers who struggle with numerical solutions of heat equations and Fokker-Plank equations in phase lock theory in white and colored noise will find this book useful. The author is a leading contributor to this field and has noted several open problems” (Nirode C. Mohanty, zbMATH 1386.60002, 2018)“I found the book very well written and informative, with something interesting to be found on every page. ... The exercises throughout the text and the list of open problems at the end of each chapter make the book suitable for a special topics graduate course.” (Sergey V. Lototsky, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2017)
