Stochastic resonance (SR) - a counter-intuitive phenomenon in which the signal due to a weak periodic force in a nonlinear system can be {\it enhanced} by the addition of external noise - is reviewed. A theoretical approach based on linear…
Superstatistics are superpositions of different statistics relevant for driven nonequilibrium systems with spatiotemporal inhomogeneities of an intensive variable (e.g., the inverse temperature). They contain Tsallis statistics as a special…
Consider the sum $Y=B+B(H)$ of a Brownian motion $B$ and an independent fractional Brownian motion $B(H)$ with Hurst parameter $H\in(0,1)$. Even though $B(H)$ is not a semimartingale, it was shown in [\textit{Bernoulli} \textbf{7} (2001)…
We study extremal statistics and return intervals in stationary long-range correlated sequences for which the underlying probability density function is bounded and uniform. The extremal statistics we consider e.g., maximum relative to…
In this brief paper we find computable exponential convergence rates for a large class of stochastically ordered Markov processes. We extend the result of Lund, Meyn, and Tweedie (1996), who found exponential convergence rates for…
This essay explores the meaning of stochastic differential equations and stochastic integrals. It sets these subjects in a context of Riemann-Stieltjes integration. It is intended as a comment or supplement to \cite{MTRV}.
A key trait of stochastic optimizers is that multiple runs of the same optimizer in attempting to solve the same problem can produce different results. As a result, their performance is evaluated over several repeats, or runs, on the…
Random invariant manifolds are geometric objects useful for understanding complex dynamics under stochastic influences. Under a nonuniform hyperbolicity or a nonuniform exponential dichotomy condition, the existence of random pseudo-stable…
We use the martingale-theoretic approach of game-theoretic probability to incorporate imprecision into the study of randomness. In particular, we define a notion of computable randomness associated with interval, rather than precise,…
Random processes with stationary increments and intrinsic random processes are two concepts commonly used to deal with non-stationary random processes. They are broader classes than stationary random processes and conceptually closely…
Probabilistic programming is related to a compositional approach to stochastic modeling by switching from discrete to continuous time dynamics. In continuous time, an operator-algebra semantics is available in which processes proceeding in…
This work employs variational techniques to revisit and expand the construction and analysis of extreme value processes. These techniques permit a novel study of spatial statistics of the location of minimizing events. We develop integral…
Supermartingales are here defined on a non-probabilistic setting and can be interpreted solely in terms of superhedging operations. The classical expectation operator is replaced by a pair of subadditive operators one of them providing a…
The important application of semi-static hedging in financial markets naturally leads to the notion of quasi self-dual processes which is, for continuous semimartingales, related to symmetry properties of both their ordinary as well as…
In the first part of the paper we study stochastic integrals of a nonrandom function with respect to a nonorthogonal Hilbert noise defined on a semiring of subsets of an arbitrary nonempty set. In the second part we apply this construction…
A new stochastic primal--dual algorithm for solving a composite optimization problem is proposed. It is assumed that all the functions/operators that enter the optimization problem are given as statistical expectations. These expectations…
A generalized It${\hat {\rm o}}$ formula for time dependent functions of two-dimensional continuous semi-martingales is proved. The formula uses the local time of each coordinate process of the semi-martingale, left space and time first…
A set of exact integrals of motion is found for systems driven by homogenous isotropic stochastic flow. The integrals of motion describe the evolution of (hyper-)surfaces of different dimensions transported by the flow, and can be expressed…
Let $(X_{i}, \mathcal{F}_{i})_{i\geq 1}$ be a sequence of supermartingale differences and let $S_k=\sum_{i=1}^k X_i$. We give an exponential moment condition under which $P(\max_{1\leq k \leq n} S_k \geq n)=O(\exp\{-C_1 n^{\alpha}\}),$…
We show that the reciprocal of a partial sum with 2m terms of the alternating exponential series is the exponential generating function for permutations in which every increasing run has length congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 2m. More generally…
