We study limit theorems for partial sums of instantaneous functions of a homogeneous Markov chain on a general state space. The summands are heavy-tailed and the limits are stable distributions. The conditions imposed on the transition…
Recently, Samorodnitsky proved a strengthened version of Mrs. Gerber's Lemma, where the output entropy of a binary symmetric channel is bounded in terms of the average entropy of the input projected on a random subset of coordinates. Here,…
In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the scale invariant boundary Harnack inequality (BHP in abbreviation) for a large class of Hunt processes on metric measure spaces that are in weak duality with another…
Consider a one-sided Markov additive process with an upper and a lower barrier, where each can be either reflecting or terminating. For both defective and non-defective processes and all possible scenarios we identify the corresponding…
In this paper we deal with the problem of characterizing those generalized Mehler semigroups that do correspond to c\`adl\`ag Markov processes, which is highly non-trivial and has remained open for more than a decade. Our approach is to…
We show how a rescaling of fractional operators with bounded kernels may help circumvent their documented deficiencies, for example, the inconsistency at zero or the lack of inverse integral operator. On the other hand, we build a novel…
We consider the symmetric non-local Dirichlet form $(E, F)$ given by \[ E (f,f)=\int_{R^d} \int_{R^d} (f(y)-f(x))^2 J(x,y) dx dy \] with $F$ the closure of the set of $C^1$ functions on $R^d$ with compact support with respect to $E_1$,…
We construct a Hunt process that can be described as an isotropic $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process reflected from the complement of a bounded open Lipschitz set. In fact, we introduce a new analytic method for concatenating Markov processes.…
This paper is devoted to the study of a certain type of martingale problems associated to general operators corresponding to processes which have finite lifetime. We analyse several properties and in particular the weak convergence of…
We study the two-dimensional joint distribution of the first hitting time of a constant level by a continuous-state branching process with immigration and their primitive stopped at this time. We show an explicit expression of its Laplace…
For a strictly stationary sequence of random variables we derive functional convergence of the joint partial sum and partial maxima process under joint regular variation with index $\alpha \in (0,2)$ and weak dependence conditions. The…
The goal of this paper is to identify exponential convergence rates and to find computable bounds for them for Markov processes representing unreliable Jackson networks. First we use the bounds of Lawler and Sokal in order to show that, for…
We establish the fractional diffusion limit of the kinetic scattering equation with diffusive boundary condition in a strongly convex bounded domain $\mathcal{D}\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. According to the nature of the boundary condition, two…
We study well-posedness of degenerate mixed-type parabolic-hyperbolic equations $$ \partial_tu+\text{div}\big(f(u)\big)=\mathcal{L}[b(u)] $$ on bounded domains with general Dirichlet boundary/exterior conditions. The nonlocal diffusion…
Motivated by the problem of understanding theoretical bounds for the performance of the Belkin-Niyogi Laplacian eigencoordinate approach to dimension reduction in machine learning problems, we consider the convergence of random graph…
We consider two approaches to study non-reversible Markov processes, namely the Hypocoercivity Theory (HT) and GENERIC (General Equations for Non-Equilibrium Reversible-Irreversible Coupling); the basic idea behind both of them is to split…
In this paper, we consider a weakly coupled system of nonlocal operators which contain both diffusion part with uniformly elliptic diffusion matrices and bounded drift vectors and the jump part with relatively general jump kernels. We use…
We prove that the martingale problem is well posed for pure-jump L\'evy-type operators of the form $$ (\mathcal Lf)(x) = \int_{\mathbb R^d \setminus \{0\}} \left(f(x+h)-f(x) - (\nabla f(x) \cdot h)1_{\|h\| < 1}\right)K(x,h) dh, $$ where…
We derive some key extremal features for $k$th order Markov chains that can be used to understand how the process moves between an extreme state and the body of the process. The chains are studied given that there is an exceedance of a…
Studying the behaviour of Markov processes at boundary points of the state space has a long history, dating back all the way to William Feller. With different motivations in mind entrance and exit questions have been explored for different…
