We study the nonlinear and nonlocal Cauchy problem \[ \partial_{t}u+\mathcal{L}\varphi(u)=0 \quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}\times\mathbb{R}_+,\qquad u(\cdot,0)=u_0, \] where $\mathcal{L}$ is a L\'evy-type nonlocal operator with a kernel…

Consider a Markov process $\{\Phi(t) : t\geq 0\}$ evolving on a Polish space ${\sf X}$. A version of the $f$-Norm Ergodic Theorem is obtained: Suppose that the process is $\psi$-irreducible and aperiodic. For a given function $f\colon{\sf…

Limit theorems for the normalized laws with respect to two kinds of weight functionals are studied for any symmetric stable L\'evy process of index $ 1 < \alpha \le 2 $. The first kind is a function of the local time at the origin, and the…

We consider a family of stochastic processes $\{X_t^\epsilon, t \in T\}$ on a metric space $T$, with a parameter $\epsilon \downarrow 0$. We study the conditions under which \lim_{\e \to 0} \P \Big(\sup_{t \in T} |X_t^\e| < \delta \Big) =1…
