We establish general sufficient conditions for a sequence of controlled branching processes to converge weakly on the Skorokhod space. We focus on a class of controlled random variables that extends previous results by considering them as a…

This paper considers the tail asymptotics for a cumulative process $\{B(t); t \ge 0\}$ sampled at a heavy-tailed random time $T$. The main contribution of this paper is to establish several sufficient conditions for the asymptotic equality…

We look at joint regular variation properties of MA($\infty$) processes of the form $\mathbf{X} = (X_k, k \in \mathbb{Z})$ where $X_k = \sum_{j=0}^{\infty} \psi_j Z_{k-j}$ and the sequence of random variables $(Z_i, i \in \mathbb{Z})$ are…

We study the convergence of these operators in a weighted space of functions on a positive semi-axis and estimate the approximation by using a new type of weighted modulus of continuity and error estimation.

We analyze the tail behavior of solutions to sample average approximations (SAAs) of stochastic programs posed in Hilbert spaces. We require that the integrand be strongly convex with the same convexity parameter for each realization.…

This paper presents a framework for the study of convergence when the nodes' dynamics may be both piecewise smooth and/or nonidentical across the network. Specifically, we derive sufficient conditions for global convergence of all node…

We consider a modulated process S which, conditional on a background process X, has independent increments. Assuming that S drifts to -infinity and that its increments (jumps) are heavy-tailed (in a sense made precise in the paper), we…

We introduce a novel primal-dual flow for affine constrained convex optimization problems. As a modification of the standard saddle-point system, our primal-dual flow is proved to possess the exponential decay property, in terms of a…

Linear convergence of first-order methods is typically characterized by global optimization conditions whose constants reflect worst-case geometry of the ambient space. In high-dimensional or structured problems, these global constants can…

A number of researchers have introduced topological structures on the set of laws of stochastic processes. A unifying goal of these authors is to strengthen the usual weak topology in order to adequately capture the temporal structure of…

We propose an adaptive accelerated smoothing technique for a nonsmooth convex optimization problem where the smoothing update rule is coupled with the momentum parameter. We also extend the setting to the case where the objective function…

We investigate the convergence theory of several known as well as new heuristic parameter choice rules for convex Tikhonov regularisation. The success of such methods is dependent on whether certain restrictions on the noise are satisfied.…

We prove the existence of an extremal function in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for the energy associated to an stable operator. To this aim we obtain a concentration-compactness principle for stable processes in $\mathbb{R}^N$.

The notion of tail adversarial stability has been proven useful in obtaining limit theorems for tail dependent time series. Its implication and advantage over the classical strong mixing framework has been examined for max-linear processes,…
