Thisbook deals with analytic treatments of Markov processes. Symmetric Dirichlet forms andtheir associated Markov processes are important and powerful toolsin the theory of Markovprocesses and their applications. The theoryis well studied and used in various fields. In this monograph, we intend togeneralize the theory to non-symmetric and time dependent semi-Dirichlet forms. By this generalization, we can cover the wide class of Markov processes and analytic theory which do not possess the dualMarkov processes. In particular, under the semi-Dirichlet form setting, the stochastic calculus is not well established yet.In this monograph, we intend to give an introduction to such calculus. Furthermore, basic examples different from the symmetric cases are given.Thetext is writtenfor graduate students, but alsoresearchers.

Since the publication of the first edition in 1994, this book has attracted constant interests from readers and is by now regarded as a standard reference for the theory of Dirichlet forms. For the present second edition, the authors not only revised the existing text, but also added some new sections as well as several exercises with solutions. The book addresses to researchers and graduate students who wish to comprehend the area of Dirichlet forms and symmetric Markov processes.
