In this paper we establish a hypoellipticity result for second order linear operators comprised by a linear combination, with infinite vanishing coefficients, of subelliptic operators in separate spaces. This generalizes previous known…
It is well-known under the name of `periodic homogenization' that, under a centering condition of the drift, a periodic diffusion process on R^d converges, under diffusive rescaling, to a d-dimensional Brownian motion. Existing proofs of…
By further developing the generalized $\Gamma$-calculus for hypoelliptic operators, we prove hypocoercive estimates for a large class of Kolmogorov type operators which are defined on non necessarily totally geodesic Riemannian foliations.…
We prove uniqueness in law for possibly degenerate SDEs having a linear part in the drift term. Diffusion coefficients corresponding to non-degenerate directions of the noise are assumed to be continuous. When the diffusion part is constant…
Consider the motion of a Brownian particle in $n$ dimensions, whose coordinate processes are standard Brownian motions with zero drift initially, and then at some random/unobservable time, exactly $k$ of the coordinate processes get a…
We derive the forward and backward filtering equations for a class of degenerate partially observable diffusions, satisfying the weak H\"ormander condition. Our approach is based on the H\"older theory for degenerate SPDEs that allows to…
Hypoelliptic diffusion processes can be used to model a variety of phenomena in applications ranging from molecular dynamics to audio signal analysis. We study parameter estimation for such processes in situations where we observe some…
We study the performance of the D-Wave 2X quantum annealing machine on systems with well-controlled ground-state degeneracy. While obtaining the ground state of a spin-glass benchmark instance represents a difficult task, the gold standard…
We study a system of $n$ differential equations, each in dimension $d$. Only the first equation is forced by a Brownian motion and the dependence structure is such that, under a local weak H\"ormander condition, the noise propagates to the…
We study degenerate hypoelliptic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators in $L^2$ spaces with respect to invariant measures. The purpose of this article is to show how recent results on general quadratic operators apply to the study of degenerate…
We introduce a class of (possibly) degenerate dispersive equations with a drift. We prove that, under the H\"ormander hypoellipticity condition, the relevant Cauchy problem can be uniquely solved in the Schwartz class, and the solution…
We aim at understanding how the non-commutation phenomena between a linear transport operator and a fractional diffusion allow the transport operator to satisfy hypoelliptic estimates on the whole space. Such hypoelliptic estimates are…
In this article, we consider the problem of periodic homogenization of a Feller process generated by a pseudo-differential operator, the so-called L\'evy-type process. Under the assumptions that the generator has rapidly periodically…
We apply a recently developed approach (Liaw 2013) to study the existence of extended states for the three dimensional discrete random Schroedinger operator at small disorder. The conclusion of delocalization at small disorder agrees with…
We develop a new approach for the Anderson localization problem. The implementation of this method yields strong numerical evidence leading to a (surprising to many) conjecture: The two dimensional discrete random Schroedinger operator with…
We investigate microlocal properties of partial differential operators with generalized functions as coefficients. The main result is an extension of a corresponding (microlocalized) distribution theoretic result on operators with smooth…
Analytical work probability distributions for open classical systems are scarce; they can only be calculated in a few examples. In this work, I present a new method to derive such quantities for weakly driven processes in the overdamped…
The problem of decentralized sequential detection with conditionally independent observations is studied. The sensors form a star topology with a central node called fusion center as the hub. The sensors make noisy observations of a…
This paper is focused on necessary conditions for hypoellipticity of an operator $L$ of the form $L=L_1(x)+g(x)L_2(y)$, where the operator $L_1$ is either elliptic or parabolic, $L_2$ is degenerately elliptic and $g(x)$ may itself vanish…
We study discrete linear divergence-form operators with random coefficients, also known as the random conductance model. We assume that the conductances are bounded, independent and stationary; the law of a conductance may depend on the…
