We study a family of Markov processes on $\mathcal{P}^{(k)}$, the space of partitions of the natural numbers with at most $k$ blocks. The process can be constructed from a Poisson point process on…
It was recently proven that the correlation function of the stationary version of a reflected L\'evy process is nonnegative, nonincreasing and convex. In another branch of the literature it was established that the mean value of the…
We show that any $\mathbb{R}^d\setminus\{0\}$-valued self-similar Markov process $X$, with index $\alpha>0$ can be represented as a path transformation of some Markov additive process (MAP) $(\theta,\xi)$ in $S_{d-1}\times\mathbb{R}$. This…
Ba\~nuelos and Bogdan (2004) and Bogdan, Palmowski and Wang (2016) analyse the asymptotic tail distribution of the first time a stable (L\'evy) process in dimension $d\geq 2$ exists a cone. We use these results to develop the notion of a…
Let $(Q_t)$ be a stationary workload process, and $r(t)$ the correlation coefficient of $Q_0$ and $Q_t$. In a series of previous papers (i) the transform of $r(\cdot)$ has been derived for the case that the driving process is…
Finding representative reaction pathways is necessary for understanding mechanisms of molecular processes, but is considered to be extremely challenging. We propose a new method to construct reaction paths based on mean first-passage times.…
The Langevin formulation of a number of well-known stochastic processes involves multiplicative noise. In this work we present a systematic mapping of a process with multiplicative noise to a related process with additive noise, which may…
We define the concept of an `open' Markov process, a continuous-time Markov chain equipped with specified boundary states through which probability can flow in and out of the system. External couplings which fix the probabilities of…
A Markov Additive Process is a bi-variate Markov process $(\xi,J)=\big((\xi_t,J_t),t\geq0\big)$ which should be thought of as a multi-type L\'evy process: the second component $J$ is a Markov chain on a finite space $\{1,\ldots,K\}$, and…
Ramaswami showed recently that standard Brownian motion arises as the limit of a family of Markov-modulated linear fluid processes. We pursue this analysis with a fluid approximation for Markov-modulated Brownian motion. Furthermore, we…
Consider the basic algorithm to perform the transformation n--> n+1 changing digits of the d-adic expansion of n one by one. We obtain a family of Markov chains on the non-negative integers through sucessive and independent applications of…
We slightly extend the fluctuation theorem obtained in \cite{LS} for sums of generators, considering continuous-time Markov chains on a finite state space whose underlying graph has multiple edges and no loop. This extended frame is suited…
Expanding upon the rich history of algebraic techniques in probability, we show the existence of and construct a Markov chain using the Hopf square map on a quantum group that is both non-commutative and non-cocommutative. This extends the…
Numerical observations on a Markov chain and on the continuous Markov process performed by a granular tracer show that the ``usual'' fluctuation relation for a given observable is not verified for finite (but arbitrarily large) times. This…
A family of explicit Lyapunov function for positive recurrent Markovian Jackson network is constructed. With this result we obtain explicit estimates of the tail distribution of the first time, when the process returns to large compact…
In this paper we analyze a L\'evy process reflected at a general (possibly random) barrier. For this process we prove Central Limit Theorem for the first passage time. We also give the finite-time first passage probability asymptotics.
The theory of ``Markov-up'' processes is being developed. This is a new class of stochastic processes with ``partial'' markovian features; it could also be called ``one-sided Markov''. Such a behavior may be found in the real world and in…
In this note, we consider the construction of a one-dimensional stable Langevin type process confined in the upper half-plane and submitted to reflective-diffusive boundary conditions whenever the particle position hits 0. We show that two…
The spectral gap of a Markov chain can be bounded by the spectral gaps of constituent "restriction" chains and a "projection" chain, and the strength of such a bound is the content of various decomposition theorems. In this paper, we…
As a first step in the first passage problem for passive tracer in stratified porous media, we consider the case of a two-dimensional system consisting of two layers with different convection velocities. Using a lattice generating function…
