This paper elucidates the connection between the KS entropy-rate kappa and the time evolution of the physical or statistical entropy S. For a large family of chaotic conservative dynamical systems including the simplest ones, the evolution…

The risk of catastrophes is related to the possibility of occurring extreme values. Several statistical methodologies have been developed in order to evaluate the propensity of a process for the occurrence of high values and the permanence…

Let $T_{c,\beta}$ denote the smallest $t\ge1$ that a continuous, self-similar Gaussian process with self-similarity index $\alpha>0$ moves at least $\pm c t^\beta$ units. We prove that: (i) If $\beta>\alpha$, then $T_{c,\beta}=\infty$ with…

We consider a process $X_t$, which is observed on a finite time interval $[0,T]$, at discrete times $0,\Delta_n,2\Delta_n,\ldots.$ This process is an It\^{o} semimartingale with stochastic volatility $\sigma_t^2$. Assuming that $X$ has…

The classical modeling of spatial extremes relies on asymptotic models (i.e., max-stable processes or $r$-Pareto processes) for block maxima or peaks over high thresholds, respectively. However, at finite levels, empirical evidence often…
