In this article we introduce two new estimates of the normalizing constant (or marginal likelihood) for partially observed diffusion (POD) processes, with discrete observations. One estimate is biased but non-negative and the other is…

Filter stability is a classical problem in the study of partially observed Markov processes (POMP), also known as hidden Markov models (HMM). For a POMP, an incorrectly initialized non-linear filter is said to be (asymptotically) stable if…

We establish the $L_p$-regularity theory for a semilinear stochastic partial differential equation with multiplicative white noise: $$ du = (a^{ij}u_{x^ix^j} + b^{i}u_{x^i} + cu + \bar b^{i}|u|^\lambda u_{x^i})dt + \sigma^k(u)dw_t^k,\quad…

A new variational inference method, SPH-ParVI, based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), is proposed for sampling partially known densities (e.g. up to a constant) or sampling using gradients. SPH-ParVI simulates the flow of a fluid…

We study pathwise approximation of strong solutions of scalar stochastic differential equations (SDEs) at a single time in the presence of discontinuities of the drift coefficient. Recently, it has been shown by M\"uller-Gronbach and…
