This paper studies a robust utility maximization problem for intractable claims under distributional ambiguity, where the distribution of the claim cannot be inferred from market information and its dependence with tradable assets is…
This paper analyzes a class of recursive distributional equations (RDE's) proposed by Gurel-Gurevich [17] and involving a bias parameter $p$, which includes the logarithm of the resistance of the series-parallel graph. A discrete-time…
Existence and uniqueness is established for a large class of backward stochastic differential equations which contain singular terms of the form $\pm|z|^2/y$. The results are applied to investigate singular partial differential equations…
In this note, we provide a new characterization of Aldous' Brownian continuum random tree as the unique fixed point of a certain natural operation on continuum trees (which gives rise to a recursive distributional equation). We also show…
We consider congestion games on networks with nonatomic users and user-specific costs. We are interested in the uniqueness property defined by Milchtaich [Milchtaich, I. 2005. Topological conditions for uniqueness of equilibrium in…
We apply the principle of maximum entropy to select a unique joint probability distribution from the set of all joint probability distributions specified by a credal network. In detail, we start by showing that the unique joint distribution…
For binary outcome models, an endogeneity correction based on nonlinear rank-based transformations is proposed. Identification without external instruments is achieved under one of two assumptions: either the endogenous regressor is a…
Consider a Markov chain on the space of rooted real binary trees that randomly removes leaves and reinserts them on a random edge and suitably rescales the lengths of edges. This chain was introduced by David Aldous who conjectured a…
We introduce the concept of singular recursive utility. This leads to a kind of singular BSDE which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been studied before. We show conditions for existence and uniqueness of a solution for this kind of…
Aldous' spectral gap conjecture asserts that on any graph the random walk process and the random transposition (or interchange) process have the same spectral gap. We prove the conjecture using a recursive strategy. The approach is a…
Let $(V(u),\, u\in \mathcal{T})$ be a (supercritical) branching random walk and $(\eta_u,\,u\in \mathcal{T})$ be marks on the vertices of the tree, distributed in an i.i.d.\ fashion. Following Aldous and Bandyopadhyay \cite{AB05}, for each…
We investigate a nonlocal single-species reaction-diffusion-advection model that integrates the spatial memory of previously visited locations and nonlocal detection in space, resulting in a coupled PDE-ODE system reflective of several…
We introduce a new model of random tree that grows like a random recursive tree, except at some exceptional "doubling events" when the tree is replaced by two copies of itself attached to a new root. We prove asymptotic results for the size…
We consider a model for random walks on random environments (RWRE) with random subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean lattice as the vertices, and uniform transition probabilities on 2d points (two "coordinate nearest points" in each of the…
We study classical asymmetric binary perceptron (ABP) and associated \emph{local entropy} (LE) as potential source of its algorithmic hardness. Isolation of \emph{typical} ABP solutions in SAT phase seemingly suggests a universal…
We introduce generalizations of Aldous' Brownian Continuous Random Tree as scaling limits for multicritical models of discrete trees. These discrete models involve trees with fine-tuned vertex-dependent weights ensuring a k-th root…
This paper analyzes single-item continuous-review inventory models with random supplies in which the inventory dynamic between orders is described by a diffusion process, and a long-term average cost criterion is used to evaluate decisions.…
Transfer entropy (TE) captures the directed relationships between two variables. Partial transfer entropy (PTE) accounts for the presence of all confounding variables of a multivariate system and infers only about direct causality. However,…
The theory of complete generalized Jordan sets is employed to reduce the PDE with the irreversible linear operator $B$ of finite index to the regular problems. It is demonstrated how the question of the choice of boundary conditions is…
