Determining potential probability distributions with a given causal graph is vital for causality studies. To bypass the difficulty in characterizing latent variables in a Bayesian network, the nested Markov model provides an elegant…
In this paper, we continue development of the theory of contractive Markov systems (CMS) initiated in \cite{Wer1}. Also, this work can be seen as a small contribution to the theory of equilibrium states. We construct an energy function on…
In this note, we present few examples of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes and their long time behavior. They share two important features: they are related to concrete models (in biology, networks, chemistry,. . .) and they are…
The generic identification problem is to decide whether a stochastic process $(X_t)$ is a hidden Markov process and if yes to infer its parameters for all but a subset of parametrizations that form a lower-dimensional subvariety in…
In this review-type paper written at the occasion of the Oberwolfach workshop {\em One-sided vs. Two-sided stochastic processes} (february 22-29, 2020), we discuss and compare Markov properties and generalisations thereof in more…
We consider positive, integral-preserving linear operators acting on $L^1$ space, known as stochastic operators or Markov operators. We show that, on finite-dimensional spaces, any stochastic operator can be approximated by a sequence of…
We study the finiteness of physical measures for skew-product transformations $F$ associated with discrete-time random dynamical systems driven by ergodic Markov chains. We develop a framework, using an independent and identically…
Let $\Gamma$ be a graph and $P$ be a reversible random walk on $\Gamma$. From the $L^2$ analyticity of the Markov operator $P$, we deduce that an iterate of odd exponent of $P$ is `lazy', that is there exists an integer $k$ such that the…
We describe a general approach to the theory of self consistent transfer operators. These operators have been introduced as tools for the study of the statistical properties of a large number of all to all interacting dynamical systems…
The paper addresses the question whether a random functional, a map from a set $E$ into the space of real-valued measurable functions on a probability space, has a measurable version with values in ${\mathbb R}^E$. Similarly, one may ask…
A simple construction is presented, which generalises piecewise linear one-dimensional Markov maps to an arbitrary number of dimensions. The corresponding coupled map lattice, known as a simplicial mapping in the mathematical literature,…
The asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is a model for translation in protein synthesis and traffic flow; it can be defined as a Markov chain describing particles hopping on a one-dimensional lattice. In this article I give an…
We study an $n$-species $t$-PushTASEP, an integrable long-range stochastic process, on a one-dimensional periodic lattice with inhomogeneities $x_1,\ldots,x_L$ and arbitrary capacity $l$ at each lattice site. The Markov matrix is identified…
We offer a spectral analysis for a class of transfer operators. These transfer operators arise for a wide range of stochastic processes, ranging from random walks on infinite graphs to the processes that govern signals and recursive wavelet…
Markov switching models are a popular family of models that introduces time-variation in the parameters in the form of their state- or regime-specific values. Importantly, this time-variation is governed by a discrete-valued latent…
In this paper we consider a special class of polymorphisms with invariant measure, - (cf.[1])- the algebraic polymorphisms of compact groups. A general polymorphism is -- by definition -- a many-valued map with invariant measure, and the…
Hagedorn functions are carefully constructed generalizations of Hermite functions to the setting of many-dimensional squeezed and coupled harmonic systems. Wavepackets formed by superpositions of Hagedorn functions have been successfully…
We introduce a new perspective on positive continuous additive functionals (PCAFs) of Markov processes, which we call space--time occupation measures (STOMs). This notion provides a natural generalization of classical occupation times and…
In this paper we consider an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process $(M(t))_{t\geqslant 0}$ whose parameters are determined by an external Markov process $(X(t))_{t\geqslant 0}$ on a finite state space $\{1,\ldots,d\}$; this process is usually…
Let $X:=(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ be an ergodic Markov process on $\real^d$, and $p>0$. We derive upper bounds of the $p$-Wasserstein distance between the invariant measure and the empirical measures of the Markov process $X$. For this we assume,…
