In this paper, we investigate the construction of a diffusion process whose time-marginal densities are constrained to belong to a given set at all time. The construction is obtained from a penalization approximation to the constraint set,…

In this article we propose a generalization of the theory of diffusion approximation for random ODE to a nonlinear system of random Schr\"{o}dinger equations. This system arises in the study of pulse propagation in randomly birefringent…
Constraints can affect dramatically the behavior of diffusion processes. Recently, we analyzed a natural and a technological system and reported that they perform diffusion-like discrete steps displaying a peculiar constraint, whereby the…
We introduce a simple model of deterministic particles in weakly disordered media which exhibits a transition from normal to anomalous diffusion. The model consists of a set of non-interacting overdamped particles moving on a disordered…
Consider the map $(x, y) \mapsto (x + \epsilon^{-\alpha} \sin (2\pi x) + \epsilon^{-1-\alpha}z, z + \epsilon \sin(2\pi x))$, which is conjugate to the Chirikov standard map with a large parameter. The parameter value $\alpha = 1$ is related…
This paper deals with four types of point estimators based on minimization of information-theoretic divergences between hypothetical and empirical distributions. These were introduced (i) by Liese & Vajda (2006) and independently…

In this paper, we study the diffusive limit of the steady state radiative heat transfer system for non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain with flat boundaries. A composite approximate solution is constructed using…
We consider the branching process in random environment $\{Z_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, which is a~population growth process where individuals reproduce independently of each other with the reproduction law randomly picked at each generation. We focus…
Diffusion-based generative models have demonstrated a capacity for perceptually impressive synthesis, but can they also be great likelihood-based models? We answer this in the affirmative, and introduce a family of diffusion-based…
In this paper, under mild assumptions, we derive a law of large numbers, a central limit theorem with an error estimate, an almost sure invariance principle and a variant of Chernoff bound in finite-state hidden Markov models. These limit…
The Central Limit Theorem provides a foundation for inferential statistics and hypothesis testing. It describes how standardized statistics behave under repeated sampling from large populations. However, if the size of the sample (n)…

In this note, we establish that the stationary distribution of a possibly non-equilibrium Langevin diffusion converges, as the damping parameter goes to infinity (or equivalently in the Smoluchowski-Kramers vanishing mass limit), toward a…
