We establish a variety of results extending the well-known Pontryagin maximum principle of optimal control to discrete-time optimal control problems posed on smooth manifolds. These results are organized around a new theorem on critical and…
Diffusion trajectory distillation accelerates sampling by training a student model to approximate the multi-step denoising trajectories of a pretrained teacher model using far fewer steps. Despite strong empirical results, the trade-off…
Our model consists of a Brownian particle $X$ moving in $\mathbb{R}$, where a Poissonian field of moving traps is present. Each trap is a ball with constant radius, centered at a trap point, and each trap point moves under a Brownian motion…
Aulbach et al. (2013) introduced a max-domain of attraction approach for extreme value theory in C[0,1] based on functional distribution functions, which is more general than the approach based on weak convergence in de Haan and Lin (2001).…

We consider the rate of piecewise constant approximation to a locally stationary process $X(t),t\in [0,1]$, having a variable smoothness index $\alpha(t)$. Assuming that $\alpha(\cdot)$ attains its unique minimum at zero and satisfies the…
It is known from Bramson (1983) that the maximum of branching Brownian motion at time $t$ is asymptotically around an explicit function $m_t$, which involves a first ballistic order and a logarithmic correction. In this paper, we give an…

We provide a framework for high-order discretizations of nonlinear scalar convection-diffusion equations that satisfy a discrete maximum principle. The resulting schemes can have arbitrarily high order accuracy in time and space, and can be…
We consider the behavior of spatial point processes when subjected to a class of linear transformations indexed by a variable T. It was shown in Ellis [Adv. in Appl. Probab. 18 (1986) 646-659] that, under mild assumptions, the transformed…

Consider the all-time maximum of a Brownian motion with negative drift. Assume that this process is sampled at certain points in time, where the time between two consecutive points is rendered by an Erlang distribution with mean $1/\omega$.…
