We extend the key formula which intertwines multiplicative Markoff-Lagrange spectrum and symbolic dynamics. The proof uses complex analysis and elucidates the strategy of the problem. Moreover, the new method applies to a wide variety of…
The paper is devoted to the study of stability of equilibrium solutions of a delay differential equation that models leukemia. The equation was previously studied in [5] and [6], where the emphasis is put on the numerical study of periodic…
Due to the intractable partition function, the exact likelihood function for a Markov random field (MRF), in many situations, can only be approximated. Major approximation approaches include pseudolikelihood and Laplace approximation. In…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a family of generalized Markov-Hurwitz equations, extending classical Markov-Hurwitz equations with additional degree n-1 interaction terms, Gyoda and Matsushita's generalized Markov…
We analyse the existing derivation of the models of non-linear acoustics such as the Kuznetsov equation, the NPE equation and the KZK equation. The technique of introducing a corrector in the derivation ansatz allows to consider the…

We recover the Donsker-Varadhan large deviations principle (LDP) for the empirical measure of a continuous time Markov chain on a countable (finite or infinite) state space from the joint LDP for the empirical measure and the empirical flow…
We formulate some simple conditions under which a Markov chain may be approximated by the solution to a differential equation, with quantifiable error probabilities. The role of a choice of coordinate functions for the Markov chain is…
A time-discrete approach avoids the assumption of an 'integration sense'. New path increments (in a short time step) are complete in the order of that step, and not Gaussian distributed when the noise is multiplicative; this eliminates an…
Exponential relaxation to equilibrium is a typical property of physical systems, but inhomogeneities are known to distort the exponential relaxation curve, leading to a wide variety of relaxation patterns. Power law relaxation is related to…
A new adaptive approach is proposed for variational inequalities with a Lipschitz-continuous field. Estimates of the necessary number of iterations are obtained to achieve a given quality of the variational inequality solution. A…
Various methods have been proposed to approximate a solution to the truncated Hausdorff moment problem. In this paper, we establish a method of comparison for the performance of the approximations. Three ways of producing random moment…

In this paper we are looking for quantitative estimates for the convergene to equilibrium of non reversible Markov processes, especialy in short times. The models studied are simple enough to get an explicit expression of the L2 distance…
Two problems incorporating a set of horizontal linear potentials crossed by a sloped linear potential are analytically solved and compared with numerical results: (a) the case where boundary conditions are specified at the ends of a finite…
We analyze certain stationary fields with linear regressions and quadratic conditional variances. This classic probabilistic problem leads somewhat unexpectedly to stationary Markov processes closely tied to non-commutative probability…
The solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz equation with finite-gap behavior at infinity are considered. By means of the inverse scattering method the large-time asymptotics is obtained.
