We present recent advances on Dirichlet forms methods either to extend financial models beyond the usual stochastic calculus or to study stochastic models with less classical tools. In this spirit, we interpret the asymptotic error on the…
This article proposes a link between statistics and the theory of Dirichlet forms used to compute errors. The error calculus based on Dirichlet forms is an extension of classical Gauss' approach to error propagation. The aim of this paper…
In order to develop a differential calculus for error propagation we study local Dirichlet forms on probability spaces with square field operator $\Gamma$ -- i.e. error structures -- and we are looking for an object related to $\Gamma$…
The Dirichlet forms methods, in order to represent errors and their propagation, are particularly powerful in infinite dimensional problems such as models involving stochastic analysis encountered in finance or physics, cf. [5]. Now, coming…
We study the error calculus from a mathematical point of view, in particular for the infinite dimensional models met in stochastic analysis. Gauss was the first to propose an error calculus. It can be reinforced by an extension principle…
The paper studies Dirichlet forms on the classical Wiener space and the Wiener space over non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds. The diffusion operator is almost everywhere an unbounded operator on the Cameron--Martin space. In…
We develop the convergence theory for a well-known method for the interpolation of functions on the real axis with rational functions. Precise new error estimates for the interpolant are de- rived using existing theory for trigonometric…
Unfolding problems often arise in the context of statistical data analysis. Such problematics occur when the probability distribution of a physical quantity is to be measured, but it is randomized (smeared) by some well understood process,…
We use the language of errors to handle local Dirichlet forms with square field operator (cf [2]). Let us consider, under the hypotheses of Donsker theorem, a random walk converging weakly to a Brownian motion. If in addition the random…
The error on a real quantity Y due to the graduation of the measuring instrument may be asymptotically represented, when the graduation is regular and fines down, by a Dirichlet form on R whose square field operator does not depend on the…
We discuss the main stages of development of the error calculation since the beginning of XIX-th century by insisting on what prefigures the use of Dirichlet forms and emphasizing the mathematical properties that make the use of Dirichlet…

Variational inference is a powerful concept that underlies many iterative approximation algorithms; expectation propagation, mean-field methods and belief propagations were all central themes at the school that can be perceived from this…
We present an application of error theory using Dirichlet Forms in linear partial differential equations (LPDE). We study the transmission of an uncertainty on the terminal condition to the solution of the LPDE thanks to the decomposition…
We prove sharp, computable error estimates for the propagation of errors in the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. The new estimates extend previous estimates of the influence of data errors and discretisation errors…
We consider a random variable $Y$ and approximations $Y\_n$, defined on the same probability space with values in the same measurable space as $Y$. We are interested in situations where the approximations $Y\_n$ allow to define a Dirichlet…
We study error propagation in both an explicit and an implicit method for solving Volterra integro-differential equations. We determine the relationship between local and global errors. We derive upper bounds for the global error, and show…
We present a way of defining the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on general Hilbert spaces using a pair of operators for which each one's adjoint is formally the negative of the other. In particular, we define an abstract analogue of trace…
Calculus and geometry are ubiquitous in the theoretical modelling of scientific phenomena, but have historically been very challenging to apply directly to real data as statistics. Diffusion geometry is a new theory that reformulates…
We describe operators driving the time evolution of singular diffusion on finite graphs whose vertices are allowed to carry masses. The operators are defined by the method of quadratic forms on suitable Hilbert spaces. The model also covers…
