We present some results on Bernstein processes which are Brownian diffusions that appear in Euclidean Quantum Mechanics: We express the distributions of these processes with the help of those of Bessel processes. We then determine two…
We give an exposition, following joint works with J.-C. Zambrini, of the link between Euclidean Quantum Mechanics, Bernstein processes and isovectors for the heat equation. A new application to Mathematical Finance is then discussed.
In this article we prove the existence of Bernstein processes which we associate in a natural way with a class of linear parabolic initial-and final boundary value problems defined in bounded convex subsets of Euclidean space of arbitrary…
In this short article we present new results that bring about hitherto unknown relations between certain Bernstein diffusions wandering in bounded convex domains of Euclidean space on the one hand, and processes which typically occur in…
The aim of this paper is to present the new results concerning some functionals of Brownian motion with drift and present their applications in financial mathematics. We find a probabilistic representation of the Laplace transform of…
We revisit affine diffusion processes on general and on the canonical state space in particular. A detailed study of theoretic and applied aspects of this class of Markov processes is given. In particular, we derive admissibility conditions…
In this article we define and investigate statistical operators and an entropy functional for Bernstein stochastic processes associated with hierarchies of forward-backward systems of decoupled deterministic linear parabolic partial…
Stochastic process exhibiting power-law slopes in the frequency domain are frequently well modeled by fractional Brownian motion (fBm). In particular, the spectral slope at high frequencies is associated with the degree of small-scale…
We establish a Bernstein-type inequality for a class of stochastic processes that include the classical geometrically $\phi$-mixing processes, Rio's generalization of these processes, as well as many time-discrete dynamical systems. Modulo…
In this article we consider affine generalizations of the Merton jump diffusion model [Merton, J. Fin. Econ., 1976] and the respective pricing of European options. On the one hand, the Brownian motion part in the Merton model may be…
We introduce a Bernstein-type inequality which serves to uniformly control quadratic forms of gaussian variables. The latter can for example be used to derive sharp model selection criteria for linear estimation in linear regression and…
We introduce fractional Brownian motion processes (fBm) as an alternative model for the turbulent index of refraction. These processes allow to reconstruct most of the refractive index properties, but they are not differentiable. We…
Many fractional processes can be represented as an integral over a family of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. This representation naturally lends itself to numerical discretizations, which are shown in this paper to have strong convergence…
Einstein's explanation of Brownian motion provided one of the cornerstones which underlie the modern approaches to stochastic processes. His approach is based on a random walk picture and is valid for Markovian processes lacking long-term…
We consider a class of time-homogeneous diffusion processes on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with common invariant measure but varying volatility matrices. In Euclidean space, we show via stochastic control of the diffusion coefficient that the…
We consider the stochastic integrals of multivariate point processes and study their concentration phenomena. In particular, we obtain a Bernstein type of concentration inequality through Dol\'eans-Dade exponential formula and a uniform…
Despite the success of fractional Brownian motion (fBm) in modeling systems that exhibit anomalous diffusion due to temporal correlations, recent experimental and theoretical studies highlight the necessity for a more comprehensive approach…
Eigenproblems frequently arise in theory and applications of stochastic processes, but only a few have explicit solutions. Those which do, are usually solved by reduction to the generalized Sturm--Liouville theory for differential…
Fractional processes have gained popularity in financial modeling due to the dependence structure of their increments and the roughness of their sample paths. The non-Markovianity of these processes gives, however, rise to conceptual and…
We consider $n$ independent, identically distributed one-dimensional Brownian motions, $B_j(t)$, where $B_j(0)$ has a rapidly decreasing, smooth density function $f$. The empirical quantiles, or pointwise order statistics, are denoted by…
