Uniqueness of the martingale problem corresponding to a degenerate SDE which models catalytic branching networks is proven. This work is an extension of a paper by Dawson and Perkins to arbitrary catalytic branching networks. As part of the…
Mean-field SDEs, also known as McKean-Vlasov equations, are stochastic differential equations where the drift and diffusion depend on the current distribution in addition to the current position. We describe an efficient numerical method…
Using the balayage formula, we prove an inequality between the measures associated to local times of semimartingales. Our result extends the "comparison theorem of local times" of Ouknine $(1988)$, which is useful in the study of stochastic…
