We consider a diffusion equation in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with drift equal to the gradient of a homogeneous potential of degree $1+\gamma$, with $0<\gamma<1$, and local variance equal to $\varepsilon^2$ with $\varepsilon\to 0$. The associated…
In this paper, we study the Lagrangian functions for a class of second-order differential systems arising from physics. For such systems, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Lagrangian functions. Based on the…
The Pearson family of ergodic diffusions with a quadratic diffusion coefficient and a linear force are characterized by explicit dynamics of their integer moments and by explicit relaxation spectral properties towards their steady state.…
We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on…
In this paper, we derive improved a priori error estimates for families of hybridizable interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (H-IP) methods using a variable penalty for second-order elliptic problems. The strategy is to use a…
The aim of this work is to introduce a new stochastic volatility model for equity derivatives. To overcome some of the well-known problems of the Heston model, and more generally of the affine models, we define a new specification for the…
For a measure preserving transformation $T$ of a probability space $(X,\mathcal F,\mu)$ we investigate almost sure and distributional convergence of random variables of the form $$x \to \frac{1}{C_n} \sum_{i_1<n,...,i_d<n}…
In this paper we derive martingale estimating functions for the dimensionality parameter of a Bessel process based on the eigenfunctions of the diffusion operator. Since a Bessel process is non-ergodic and the theory of martingale…
We provide the increasing eigenfunctions associated to spectrally negative self-similar Feller semigroups, which have been introduced by Lamperti. These eigenfunctions are expressed in terms of a new family of power series which includes,…
We introduce a duality for Affine Iterated Function Systems (AIFS) which is naturally motivated by group duality in the context of traditional harmonic analysis. Our affine systems yield fractals defined by iteration of contractive affine…
Trend filtering is a modern approach to nonparametric regression that is more adaptive to local smoothness than splines or similar basis procedures. Existing analyses of trend filtering focus on estimating a function corrupted by…
Ext-int.\ one affine functions are functions affine in the direction of one-divisible exterior forms, with respect to exterior product in one variable and with respect to interior product in the other. The purpose of this article is to…
We pursue two goals in this article. As our first goal, we construct a family $\mathcal{M}_G$ of Gibbs like measures on the set of piecewise linear convex functions $g:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$. It turns out that there is a one-to-one…
In the field of statistics, many kind of divergence functions have been studied as an amount which measures the discrepancy between two probability distributions. In the differential geometrical approach in statistics (information…
We show that finite systems whose Hamiltonians obey a generalized homogeneity relation rigorously follow the nonextensive thermostatistics of Tsallis. In the thermodynamical limit, however, our results indicate that the Boltzmann-Gibbs…
We establish a Karhunen-Lo`eve expansion for generic centered, second order stochastic processes, which does not rely on topological assumptions. We further investigate in which norms the expansion converges and derive exact average rates…
One-parameter semigroups of holomorphic functions appear naturally in various applications of Complex Analysis, and in particular, in the theory of (temporally) homogeneous Markov processes. A suitable analogue of one-parameter semigroups…
We present a maximal class of analytic functions, elements of which are in one-to-one correspondence with their asymptotic expansions. In recent decades it has been realized (B. Malgrange, J. Ecalle, J.-P. Ramis, Y. Sibuya et al.), that the…
We establish higher order convergence rates in the theory of periodic homogenization of both linear and fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations of non-divergence form. The rates are achieved by involving higher order correctors which…
Stochastic field theories are often constructed phenomenologically, without a systematic assessment of thermodynamic consistency or local detailed balance. This may hinder a physical description of irreversibility at the field-theoretic…
