We consider a recurrent random walk of i.i.d. increments on the one-dimensional integer lattice and obtain a formula relating the hitting distribution of a half-line with the potential function, $a(x)$, of the random walk. Applying it, we…

A path decomposition at the infimum for positive self-similar Markov processes (pssMp) is obtained. Next, several aspects of the conditioning to hit 0 of a pssMp are studied. Associated to a given a pssMp $X,$ that never hits 0, we…

We investigate exceedances of the process over a sufficiently high threshold. The exceedances determine the risk of hazardous events like climate catastrophes, huge insurance claims, the loss and delay in telecommunication networks. Due to…

Let $\Xi$ be an open and bounded subset of $\bb R^d$, and let $F:\Xi\to\bb R$ be a twice continuously differentiable function. Denote by $\Xi_N$ th discretization of $\Xi$, $\Xi_N = \Xi \cap (N^{-1} \bb Z^d)$, and denote by $X_N(t)$ the…

We consider a family of random locations, called intrinsic location functionals, of periodic stationary processes. This family includes but is not limited to the location of the path supremum and first/last hitting times. We first show that…

In this paper we consider an irreducible random walk on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}$ that is in the domain of normal attraction of a strictly stable process with index $\alpha\in (1, 2)$ and obtain the asymptotic form of the…

Consider a discrete-time martingale $\{X_t\}$ taking values in a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. We show that if for some $L \geq 1$, the bounds $\mathbb{E} \left[\|X_{t+1}-X_t\|_{\mathcal H}^2 \mid X_t\right]=1$ and $\|X_{t+1}-X_t\|_{\mathcal…

In practice, it is not possible to observe a whole max-stable random field. Therefore, a way how to reconstruct a max-stable random field in $C\left([0,1]^k\right)$ by interpolating its realizations at finitely many points is proposed. The…

We consider the continuous-time frog model on $\mathbb{Z}$. At time $t = 0$, there are $\eta (x)$ particles at $x\in \mathbb{Z}$, each of which is represented by a random variable. In particular, $(\eta(x))_{x \in \mathbb{Z} }$ is a…

Maxima of moving maxima of continuous functions (CM3) are max-stable processes aimed at modeling extremes of continuous phenomena over time. They are defined as Smith and Weissman's M4 processes with continuous functions rather than…

We establish weak well-posedness for critical symmetric stable driven SDEs in R d with additive noise Z, d $\ge$ 1. Namely, we study the case where the stable index of the driving process Z is $\alpha$ = 1 which exactly corresponds to the…

We study a stochastic system of interacting neurons and its metastable properties. The system consists of $N$ neurons, each spiking randomly with rate depending on its membrane potential. At its spiking time, the neuron potential is reset…

We study persistence in one-dimensional ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor Ising models with parallel dynamics. The probability P(t) that a given spin has not flipped up to time t, when the system evolves from an initial…

A distributed algorithm is self-stabilizing if after faults and attacks hit the system and place it in some arbitrary global state, the system recovers from this catastrophic situation without external intervention in finite time. In this…

We consider the first hitting times of the Bessel processes. We give explicit expressions for the distribution functions and for the densities by means of the zeros of the Bessel functions. The results extend the classical ones and cover…

We consider the extremal shot noise defined by $$M(y)=\sup\{mh(y-x);(x,m)\in\Phi\},$$ where $\Phi$ is a Poisson point process on $\bbR^d\times (0,+\infty)$ with intensity $\lambda dxG(dm)$ and $h:\bbR^d\to [0,+\infty]$ is a measurable…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on ${\mathbb Z}_+^2$ having increments $(1,0)$, $(-1,1)$, $(0,-1)$ with jump probabilities $\lambda(M_k)$, $\mu_1(M_k)$, and $\mu_2(M_k)$ where $M$ is an irreducible aperiodic finite state Markov…

We study the support (i.e. the set of visited sites) of a t step random walk on a two-dimensional square lattice in the large t limit. A broad class of global properties M(t) of the support is considered, including, e.g., the number S(t) of…

We explore two notions of stationary processes. The first is called a random-step Markov process in which the stationary process of states, $(X_i)_{i \in \mathbb{Z}}$ has a stationary coupling with an independent process on the positive…

We investigate the local time $(T_{loc})$ statistics for a run and tumble particle in an one dimensional inhomogeneous medium. The inhomogeneity is introduced by considering the position dependent rate of the form $R(x) = \gamma…
