Motivated by an equilibrium problem, we establish the existence of a solution for a family of Markovian backward stochastic differential equations with quadratic nonlinearity and discontinuity in $Z$. Using unique continuation and backward…
We study a simple Markov chain, the switch chain, on the set of all perfect matchings in a bipartite graph. This Markov chain was proposed by Diaconis, Graham and Holmes as a possible approach to a sampling problem arising in Statistics. We…
We study the problem of stationarity and ergodicity for autoregressive multinomial logistic time series models which possibly include a latent process and are defined by a GARCH-type recursive equation. We improve considerably upon the…
We prove that for the frame flow on a negatively curved, closed manifold of odd dimension other than 7, and a Holder continuous potential that is constant on fibers, there is a unique equilibrium measure. We prove a similar result for…
We consider the following Markov Reachability decision problems that view Markov Chains as Linear Dynamical Systems: given a finite, rational Markov Chain, source and target states, and a rational threshold, does the probability of reaching…
We address the problem of estimating the mixing time $t_{\mathsf{mix}}$ of an arbitrary ergodic finite-state Markov chain from a single trajectory of length $m$. The reversible case was addressed by Hsu et al. [2019], who left the general…
We develop a general framework for studying ergodicity of order-preserving Markov semigroups. We establish natural and in a certain sense optimal conditions for existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure and exponential convergence…
We prove that every Markov solution to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with periodic boundary conditions driven by additive Gaussian noise is uniquely ergodic. The convergence to the (unique) invariant measure is exponentially…
The article presents a new perspective on the isomorphism problem for non-ergodic measure-preserving dynamical systems with discrete spectrum which is based on the connection between ergodic theory and topological dynamics constituted by…
We obtain results on mixing for a large class of (not necessarily Markov) infinite measure semiflows and flows. Erickson proved, amongst other things, a strong renewal theorem in the corresponding i.i.d. setting. Using operator renewal…
We study the nonlinear stability of the $(3+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime as a solution of the Einstein vacuum equation. Similarly to our previous work on the stability of cosmological black holes, we construct the solution of the…
Characterizing whether a Markov process of discrete random variables has an homogeneous continuous-time realization is a hard problem. In practice, this problem reduces to deciding when a given Markov matrix can be written as the…
A class of nonlinear ARCH processes is introduced and studied. The existence of a strictly stationary and $\beta$-mixing solution is established under a mild assumption on the density of the underlying independent process. We give…
In this article, we study the ergodic risk-sensitive control problem for controlled regime-switching diffusions. Under a blanket stability hypothesis, we solve the associated nonlinear eigenvalue problem for weakly coupled systems and…
We provide explicit expressions for the constants involved in the characterisation of ergodicity of sub-geometric Markov chains. The constants are determined in terms of those appearing in the assumed drift and one-step minorisation…
The purpose of this paper is to study the time average behavior of Markov chains with transition probabilities being kernels of completely continuous operators, and therefore to provide a sufficient condition for a class of Markov chains…
In this paper, we develop methods of nonlinear filtering and prediction of an unobservable Markov chain with a finite set of states. This Markov chain controls coefficients of AR(p) model. Using observations generated by AR(p) model we have…
We prove the existence of a successful coupling for $n$ particles in the symmetric inclusion process. As a consequence we characterize the ergodic measures with finite moments, and obtain sufficient conditions for a measure to converge in…
For a Markov decision process with countably infinite states, the optimal value may not be achievable in the set of stationary policies. In this paper, we study the existence conditions of an optimal stationary policy in a countable-state…
Now that we have reached the centennial of Erwin Schrodinger's seminal paper introducing the wavefunction theory of matter, it is right and proper to inquire as to its legacy. It is undeniable that today every paper in atomic physics cites…
