For a $d$-dimensional stochastic process $(S_n)_{n=0}^N$ we obtain criteria for the existence of an equivalent martingale measure, whose density $z$, up to a normalizing constant, is bounded from below by a given random variable $f$. We…

In this note, we will survey the existing convergence results for random variables under sublinear expectations, and prove some new results. Concretely, under the assumption that the sublinear expectation has the monotone continuity…

This paper studies simultaneous inference of conditional distributions in nonlinear time series from a sieve M-regression perspective. Existing literature on sieve M-regression has primarily focused on pointwise asymptotics, leaving the…

We consider the problem of closeness testing for two discrete distributions in the practically relevant setting of \emph{unequal} sized samples drawn from each of them. Specifically, given a target error parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, $m_1$…

This paper studies the expected $L_p$-discrepancy ($2 \leq p < \infty$) for stratified sampling schemes under importance sampling. We introduce a parametric family of equivolume partitions $\Omega_{\theta,\sim}$ and leverage recent exact…

We present a novel space-time isogeometric discretization of the acoustic wave equation in second-order formulation that is intrinsically unconditionally stable. The method relies on a variational framework inspired by [Walkington 2014],…

We develop a class of exponential bounds for the probability that a martingale sequence crosses a time-dependent linear threshold. Our key insight is that it is both natural and fruitful to formulate exponential concentration inequalities…

Bayesian inference for Continuous-Time Markov Chains (CTMCs) on countably infinite spaces is notoriously difficult because evaluating the likelihood exactly is intractable. One way to address this challenge is to first build a non-negative…

We investigate several aspects of almost 1-unconditionality. We characterize the metric unconditional approximation property UMAP in terms of ``block unconditionality''. Then we focus on translation invariant subspaces $L^p_E(T)$ and…

We prove inequalities involving noncommutative differentially subordinate martingales. More precisely, we prove that if $x$ is a self-adjoint noncommutative martingale and $y$ is weakly differentially subordinate to $x$ then $y$ admits a…

We consider the problem of estimating the state of a continuous-time Markov chain from noisy observations. We show that the corresponding optimal filter is strictly contracting pathwise, when considered in the Hilbert projective space, and…

Mirror symmetry of a wave system imposes corresponding even or odd parity on its eigenmodes. For a discrete system, eigenmode parity on a specific subset of sites may also originate from so-called latent symmetry. This symmetry is hidden,…
