We present a proof showing that the weak error of a system of $n$ interacting stochastic particles approximating the solution of the McKean-Vlasov equation is $\mathcal O(n^{-1})$. Our proof is based on the Kolmogorov backward equation for…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for sequences of random fields of the form $\int_{D} f(x,y) \theta_n(y) dy$ to weakly converge, in the space of continuous functions over $D$, to integrals with respect to the Brownian sheet,…

We obtain two-sided bounds for the density of stochastic processes satisfying a weak H\"ormander condition. In particular we consider the cases when the support of the density is not the whole space and when the density has various…

This paper compiles several aspects of the dynamics of stochastic approximation algorithms with Markov iterate-dependent noise when the iterates are not known to be stable beforehand. We achieve the same by extending the lock-in probability…

Exact approximations of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are a general emerging class of sampling algorithms. One of the main ideas behind exact approximations consists of replacing intractable quantities required to run standard…

In this paper, a study of random times on filtered probability spaces is undertaken. The main message is that, as long as distributional properties of optional processes up to the random time are involved, there is no loss of generality in…

Gaussian processes are a powerful framework for quantifying uncertainty and for sequential decision-making but are limited by the requirement of solving linear systems. In general, this has a cubic cost in dataset size and is sensitive to…

Direct numerical simulation of Stokes flow through an impermeable, rigid body matrix by finite elements requires meshes fine enough to resolve the pore-size scale and is thus a computationally expensive task. The cost is significantly…
