We investigate the hypercontractivity property of generalized Mehler semigroups on the $L^p$-scale with respect to invariant measures. This property is first obtained in the purely theoretical setting of skew operators and, subsequently,…
We consider a class of L\'evy-type processes derived via a Doob-transform from L\'evy processes conditioned by a control function called potential. These processes have position-dependent and generally unbounded components, with stationary…
Calibrating a L\'evy process usually requires characterizing its jump distribution. Traditionally this problem can be solved with nonparametric estimation using the empirical characteristic functions (ECF), assuming certain regularity, and…
We establish the exponential convergence with respect to the $L^1$-Wasserstein distance and the total variation for the semigroup corresponding to the stochastic differential equation (SDE) $$d X_t=d Z_t+b(X_t)\,d t,$$ where $(Z_t)_{t\ge0}$…
Motion of particles in many systems exhibits a mixture between periods of random diffusive like events and ballistic like motion. In many cases, such systems exhibit strong anomalous diffusion, where low order moments $< |x(t)|^q >$ with…
We characterize the class of exchangeable Feller processes evolving on partitions with boundedly many blocks. In continuous-time, the jump measure decomposes into two parts: a $\sigma$-finite measure on stochastic matrices and a collection…
We consider some special classes of L\'evy processes with no gaussian component whose L\'evy measure is of the type $\pi(dx)=e^{\gamma x}\nu(e^x-1) dx$, where $\nu$ is the density of the stable L\'evy measure and $\gamma$ is a positive…
Conditional density estimation (density regression) estimates the distribution of a response variable y conditional on covariates x. Utilizing a partition model framework, a conditional density estimation method is proposed using logistic…
By using stochastic analysis, two probability versions of Li-Yau type inequalities are established for diffusion semigroups on a manifold possibly with (non-convex) boundary. The inequalities are explicitly given by the Bakry-Emery…
Consider a measure-preserving transition kernel $T$ on an arbitrary probability space $(\mathbb X,\mathcal cA,\pi)$. In this level of generality, we prove that a one-step hyper-contractivity estimate of the form $\|T\|_{p\to q}\le 1$ with…
In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the L\'{e}vy density for L\'{e}vy processes, with and without Brownian component. For this, we consider $n$ discrete time observations with step $\Delta$. The asymptotic framework is: $n$…
For one-dimensional Jump-Drift and Jump-Diffusion processes converging towards some steady state, the large deviations of a long dynamical trajectory are described from two perspectives. Firstly, the joint probability of the empirical…
We study the following model of hidden Markov chain: $Y_i=X_i+\epsilon_i$, $ i=1,...,n+1$ with $(X_i)$ a real-valued positive recurrent and stationary Markov chain and $(\epsilon_i)_{1\leq i\leq n+1}$ a noise independent of the sequence…
This paper first establishes a fundamental mean-square convergence theorem for general one-step numerical approximations of L\'{e}vy noise driven stochastic differential equations with non-globally Lipschitz coefficients. Then two novel…
This paper provides a framework for investigations in fluctuation theory for L\'evy processes with matrix-exponential jumps. We present a matrix form of the components of the infinitely divisible factorization. Using this representation we…
