We prove a strong law of large numbers for a class of strongly mixing processes. Our result rests on recent advances in understanding of concentration of measure. It is simple to apply and gives finite-sample (as opposed to asymptotic)…

We investigate the use of a certain class of functional inequalities known as weak Poincar\'e inequalities to bound convergence of Markov chains to equilibrium. We show that this enables the straightforward and transparent derivation of…

Let $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$ be a Gaussian long-range dependent process with $EX_1=0$, $EX_1^2=1$ and covariance function $r(k)=k^{-D}L(k)$. For any measurable function $G$ let $(Y_k)_{k\geq1}=(G(X_k))_{k\geq1}$. We study the asymptotic behaviour…

We study the coarsening model (zero-temperature Ising Glauber dynamics) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (for $d \geq 2$) with an asymmetric tie-breaking rule. This is a Markov process on the state space $\{-1,+1\}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ of "spin configurations"…

We consider a finite element approximation of a general semi-linear stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) driven by space-time multiplicative and additive noise. We examine the full weak convergence rate of the exponential Euler…

For a Gaussian process $X$ and smooth function $f$, we consider a Stratonovich integral of $f(X)$, defined as the weak limit, if it exists, of a sequence of Riemann sums. We give covariance conditions on $X$ such that the sequence converges…

We demonstrate a measure theoretical approach to the local regularity of weak supersolutions to elliptic and parabolic equations in divergence form. In the first part, we show that weak supersolutions become lower semicontinuous after…

Let $u$ be a maximal plurisubharmonic function in a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ ($n\geq 2$). It is classical that, for any $U\Subset\Omega$, there exists a sequence of bounded plurisubharmonic functions $PSH(U)\ni u_j\searrow u$…

The study of discrete-time stochastic processes on the half-line with mean drift at $x$ given by $\mu_1 (x) \to 0$ as $x \to \infty$ is known as Lamperti's problem. We give sharp almost-sure bounds for processes of this type in the case…
