We review and extend the formalism introduced by Peliti, that maps a Markov process to a path-integral representation. After developing the mapping, we apply it to some illustrative examples: the simple decay process, the birth-and-death…

Material response of real, passive, linear, time-invariant media to external influences is described by complex analytic functions of frequency that can always be written in terms of Stieltjes functions -- a special class of analytic…
We introduce and study the approximation properties of $g$-polynomials, defined as linear combinations of iterated Stieltjes integrals of a constant function. Focusing on the case where the derivator $g$ has finitely many discontinuities,…

Parabolic partial differential equations with state-dependent delays (SDDs) are investigated. The delay term presented by Stieltjes integral simultaneously includes discrete and distributed SDDs. The singular Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure is…
We study the trajectories of a solution $X_t$ to an It\^o stochastic differential equation in $\Rm^d$, as the process passes between two disjoint open sets, $A$ and $B$. These segments of the trajectory are called transition paths or…
Some new integrals involving the Stieltjes constants are developed in this paper.
A class of Stieltjes functions of finite type is introduced. These satisfy Widder's conditions on the successive derivatives up to some finite order, and are not necessarily smooth. We show that such functions have a unique integral…
The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the path-dependent Stochastic Volterra Integral Equations (SVIEs), in which both the drift and the diffusion coefficients are allowed to depend on the whole trajectory of the…
Understanding sustainability through modeling involves one of the complex and interdisciplinary activities where mathematics plays a key role. We provide arguments favoring the need for developing global models for measuring the status of…
It is known that backward iterations of independent copies of a contractive random Lipschitz function converge almost surely under mild assumptions. By a sieving (or thinning) procedure based on adding to the functions time and space…
Orthogonal polynomials of several variables have a vector-valued three-term recurrence relation, much like the corresponding one-dimensional relation. This relation requires only knowledge of certain recurrence matrices, and allows simple…
We derive an integration by parts formula for functionals of determinantal processes on compact sets, completing the arguments of [4]. This is used to show the existence of a configuration-valued diffusion process which is non-colliding and…
A class of scalar Stieltjes like functions is realized as linear-fractional transformations of transfer functions of conservative systems based on a Schr\"odinger operator T_h in $L_2[a,+\infty)$ with a non-selfadjoint boundary condition.…
We prove a functional central limit theorem for integrals $\int_W f(X(t))\, dt$, where $(X(t))_{t\in\mathbb{R}^d}$ is a stationary mixing random field and the stochastic process is indexed by the function $f$, as the integration domain $W$…
We study the small-time asymptotics of sample paths of L\'evy processes and L\'evy-type processes. Namely, we investigate under which conditions the limit $$\limsup_{t \to 0} \frac{1}{f(t)} |X_t-X_0|$$ is finite resp.\ infinite with…
The calculation of the decay rate of a metastable state in the path-integral formulation of stochastic processes is revisited. Previous derivations of this rate were achieved at the cost of a step that is difficult to justify…
Using fractional calculus we define integrals of the form $% \int_{a}^{b}f(x_{t})dy_{t}$, where $x$ and $y$ are vector-valued H\"{o}lder continuous functions of order $\displaystyle \beta \in (\frac13, \frac12)$ and $f$ is a continuously…
