A classical result of Strassen asserts that given probabilities $\mu, \nu$ on the real line which are in convex order, there exists a \emph{martingale coupling} with these marginals, i.e.\ a random vector $(X_1,X_2)$ such that $X_1\sim \mu,…

The law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the time-homogeneous Markov process with a unique invariant measure characterizes the almost sure maximum possible fluctuation of time averages around the ergodic limit. Whether a numerical…

We introduce a vertical type relaxation for optimal control problems which only have $L^1$-coercivity for their controls. Usually such problems feature both concentration and oscillation effects at the same time. We propose relaxing to an…

We consider the small mass asymptotic (Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation) for the Langevin equation with a variable friction coefficient. The friction coefficient is assumed to be vanishing within certain region. We introduce a…

In this work, we investigate the multidimensional Skorokhod problem for c\`adl\`ag processes, where the reflection is subject to a minimality condition depending on the law of the solution. We then apply these results to establish existence…
