Abstract

In this study some of the basic ideas needed for the application of the Wiener-Hopf Technique in solving problems occurring in applied probability theory are discussed; the paper aims to give a short introduction. The method is illustrated by applying it to two problems; one, although basic in probability theory, is rather simple to handle by this method. The second is much more intricate, but shows clearly the power of the method.
