In a recent work by Gross, the following problem was stated and solved: given a measure $\mu$ with finite second moment, find a simply connected domain $U$ in $\CC$ such that the real part of a Brownian motion stopped when it leaves $U$ is…
We present a numerical framework to approximate the $\mu$-domain in the planar Skorokhod embedding problem (PSEP), recently appeared in \cite{gross2019}. Our approach investigates the continuity and convergence properties of the solutions…
We study the problem of stopping a Brownian motion at a given distribution $\nu$ while optimizing a reward function that depends on the (possibly randomized) stopping time and the Brownian motion. Our first result establishes that the set…
We consider cost minimizing stopping time solutions to Skorokhod embedding problems, which deal with transporting a source probability measure to a given target measure through a stopped Brownian process. PDEs and a free boundary problem…
The conformal Skorokhod embedding problem (CSEP) is a planar variant of the classical problem where the solution is now a simply connected domain $D\subset\mathbb{C}$ whose exit time embeds a given probability distribution $\mu$ by…
The Skorokhod embedding problem is to represent a given probability as the distribution of Brownian motion at a chosen stopping time. Over the last 50 years this has become one of the important classical problems in probability theory and a…
In this paper we consider the Skorokhod embedding problem for target distributions with non-zero mean. In the zero-mean case, uniform integrability provides a natural restriction on the class of embeddings, but this is no longer suitable…
The Skorokhod embedding problem aims to represent a given probability measure on the real line as the distribution of Brownian motion stopped at a chosen stopping time. In this paper, we consider an extension of the optimal Skorokhod…
In this work, we investigate the problem of the boundedness of the Gross' solutions of the planar Skorokhod embedding problem, where we show that the solution is bounded under some mild conditions on the underlying probability distribution.
Given a Brownian motion $B_t$ and a general target law $\mu$ (not necessarily centered or even integrable) we show how to construct an embedding of $\mu$ in $B$. This embedding is an extension of an embedding due to Perkins, and is optimal…
The planar Skorokhod embedding problem was first proposed and solved by R. Gross in 2019 [#gross2019]. Gross worked with probability distributions having finite second moment. In [#boudabra2019remarks, #Boudabra2020], the solutions extended…
In a recent work by Gross, it was proved that, given a distribution $\mu$ with zero mean and finite second moment, we can find a simply connected domain $\Omega$ such that if $Z_{t}$ is a standard planar BM, then…
One of aims of this note is to capture the interest of the mathematical community to a novel transformation, which we shall call Brownian symmetrization. This transformation arises from the solution of the planar Skorokhod embedding…
In this paper, we search for normalized solutions to a fractional, nonlinear, and possibly strongly sublinear Schr\"odinger equation $$(-\Delta)^s u + \mu u = g(u) \quad \hbox{in $\mathbb{R}^N$},$$ under the mass constraint…
We propose a simple minimization method to show the existence of least energy solutions to the normalized problem \begin{cases} -\Delta u + \lambda u = g(u) \quad \mathrm{in} \ \mathbb{R}^N, \ N \geq 3, \\ u \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \\…
In this paper, we provide an alternative proof of the monotonicity principle for the optimal Skorokhod embedding problem established by Beiglb\"ock, Cox and Huesmann. This principle presents a geometric characterization that reflects the…
The present paper is devoted to a systematic study of the $p$-Brownian convergence introduced in \cite{boudabra2026stability} (in press) to study the stability of the planar Skorokhod embedding problem \cite{gross2019,Boudabra2020}. The…
We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function $\rho$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. We investigate the minimization and maximization of $\lambda_k(\rho)$, the…
It has been shown by Indyk and Sidiropoulos [IS07] that any graph of genus g>0 can be stochastically embedded into a distribution over planar graphs with distortion 2^O(g). This bound was later improved to O(g^2) by Borradaile, Lee and…
We prove estimates for the optimal volume of thick embeddings of finite graphs into symmetric spaces, generalising results of Kolmogorov-Barzdin and Gromov-Guth for embeddings into Euclidean spaces. We distinguish two very different…
