We obtain explicit solutions for the density $\varphi_T$ of the first-time $T$ that a one-dimensional Brownian process $B$ reaches the twice, continuously differentiable moving boundary $f$ and such that $f''(t)\geq 0$ for all $t\in…

In this paper we consider non-intersecting Brownian bridges, under fairly general upper and lower boundaries, and starting and ending data. Under the assumption that these boundary data induce a smooth limit shape (without empty facets), we…

In these lecture notes, we explore the mathematical preliminaries and foundational concepts that connect stochastic processes with partial differential equations. We begin by investigating Brownian motion, which serves as a model for random…

We consider the problem of estimating the roughness of the volatility process in a stochastic volatility model that arises as a nonlinear function of fractional Brownian motion with drift. To this end, we introduce a new estimator that…

We propose a novel stochastic method to exactly generate Brownian paths conditioned to start at an initial point and end at a given final point during a fixed time $t_{f}$. These paths are weighted with a probability given by the overdamped…

We suggest a governing equation which describes the process of polymer chain translocation through a narrow pore and reconciles the seemingly contradictory features of such dynamics: (i) a Gaussian probability distribution of the…

Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) is a canonical model for long-memory phenomena. In the presence of large amounts of potentially memory-bearing data, the data are often averaged, which can change the structure of the underlying…

We study boundary inference at $H=3/4$ for mixed fractional Brownian motion and mixed fractional Ornstein--Uhlenbeck models under high-frequency observation. This boundary is economically important because it separates the critical and…

In this paper, we explore the two-star Exponential Random Graph Model, which is a two parameter exponential family on the space of simple labeled graphs. We introduce auxiliary variables to express the two-star model as a mixture of the…
