Brownian motion with coordinate dependent damping and diffusivity is ubiquitous. Understanding equilibrium of a Brownian particle with coordinate dependent diffusion and damping is a contentious area. In this paper, we present an…

In Latouche and Nguyen (2015), the authors constructed a sequence of stochastic fluid processes and showed that it converges weakly to a Markov-modulated Brownian motion (MMBM). Here, we construct a different sequence of stochastic fluid…

Fractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian stochastic process with stationary, long-time correlated increments and is frequently used to model anomalous diffusion processes. We study numerically fractional Brownian motion confined to a finite…

We formulate a trajectorial version of the relative entropy dissipation identity for McKean$-$Vlasov diffusions, extending the results of the papers [FJ16,KST20a], which apply to non-interacting diffusions. Our stochastic analysis approach…

Over a century ago, Einstein formulated a precise mathematical model for describing Brownian motion. While this model adequately explains the diffusion of micron-sized particles in fluids, its limitations become apparent when applied to…

In this paper we intend to give a comprehensive approach of functional inequalities for diffusion processes under some "curvature" assumptions. Our notion of curvature coincides with the usual $\Gamma_2$ curvature of Bakry and Emery in the…

In this note, a diffusion approximation result is shown for stochastic differential equations driven by a (Liouville) fractional Brownian motion B with Hurst parameter H in (1/3,1/2). More precisely, we resort to the Kac-Stroock type…

Classical diffusion in a random medium involves an exponential functional of Brownian motion. This functional also appears in the study of Brownian diffusion on a Riemann surface of constant negative curvature. We analyse in detail this…
