Let $d \geq 2$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$, and $X$ be the rectilinear $\alpha$-stable process on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We first present a geometric characterization of an open subset $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ so that the part process $X^D$ of $X$ in $D$…

We study discrete-time Markov chains on countably infinite state spaces, which are perturbed by rather general confining (i.e.\ growing at infinity) potentials. Using a discrete-time analogue of the classical Feynman--Kac formula, we obtain…

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 study heat kernel estimates for symmetric pure jump processes on general metric measure spaces. Building on recent progress in the local setting due to S.~Eriksson-Bique, we develop a non-local version of the Whitney blending technique…

Piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) are a class of stochastic processes with applications in several fields of applied mathematics spanning from mathematical modeling of physical phenomena to computational methods. A PDMP is…

In this paper, when a given symmetric Markov process X satisfies the stability of global heat kernel two-sided (upper) estimates by Markov perturbations, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the stability of global two-sided…

We investigate densities of vaguely continuous convolution semigroups of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$. First, we provide results that give upper estimates in a situation when the corresponding jump measure is allowed to be highly…

We consider a general d-dimensional Levy-type process with killing. Combining the classical Dyson series approach with a novel polynomial expansion of the generator A(t) of the Levy-type process, we derive a family of asymptotic…

We study a real-valued L\'evy-type process $X$, which is locally $\alpha$-stable in the sense that its jump kernel is a combination of a `principal' (state dependent) $\alpha$-stable part with a `residual' lower order part. We show that…

In this paper we consider a large class of symmetric Markov processes $X=(X_t)_{t\ge0}$ on $\R^d$ generated by non-local Dirichlet forms, which include jump processes with small jumps of $\alpha$-stable-like type and with large jumps of…

We aim at the construction of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) of assigned complexity (number of states of the underlying Markov chain) which best approximates, in Kullback-Leibler divergence rate, a given stationary process. We establish, under…

Consider a non-symmetric generalized diffusion $X(\cdot)$ in ${\bbR}^d$ determined by the differential operator $A(\msx)=-\sum_{ij} \partial_ia_{ij}(\msx)\partial_j +\sum_i b_i(\msx)\partial_i$. In this paper the diffusion process is…

We introduce and study a family of Markov processes on partitions. The processes preserve the so-called z-measures on partitions previously studied in connection with harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group. We show that the…

We survey the recent progress in the study of heat kernels for a class of non-symmetric non-local operators. We focus on the existence and sharp two-sided estimates of the heat kernels and their connection to jump diffusions.

In this paper we give general criteria on tightness and weak convergence of discrete Markov chains to symmetric jump processes on metric measure spaces under mild conditions. As an application, we investigate discrete approximation for a…

In this paper, we consider the following type of non-local (pseudo-differential) operators $\LL $ on $\R^d$: $$ \LL u(x) =\frac12 \sum_{i, j=1}^d \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} (a_{ij}(x) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j}) + \lim_{\eps…

For a wide class of continuous-time Markov processes, including all irreducible hypoelliptic diffusions evolving on an open, connected subset of $\RL^d$, the following are shown to be equivalent: (i) The process satisfies (a slightly weaker…

Let $J$ be the L\'evy density of a symmetric L\'evy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with its L\'evy exponent satisfying a weak lower scaling condition at infinity. Consider the non-symmetric and non-local operator $$ {\mathcal L}^{\kappa}f(x):=…

We present a Markov approximation for jump-diffusions whose jump part consists in a Hawkes process with intensity driven by a general (possibly non-monotone) kernel. Under minimal integrability conditions, the kernel can be approximated by…
