Abstract

As an Introduction to this monograph, we present, in a Brownian and Bessel framework, the general problem of penalisation which will be discussed throughout this volume.We sketch a number of examples, the study of which constitutes the different Chapters of the monograph. Finally, we make a list of the martingales which occur as Radon-Nikodym densities between the Wiener measure and the penalised limiting measures.
