This paper is a continuation of Poiret-Robert-Thomann (2013) where we studied a randomisation method based on the Laplacian with harmonic potential. Here we extend our previous results to the case of any polynomial and confining potential…
We prove the constructive version of Birkhoff's ergodic theorem following Vyugin but trying to separate and state explicitly the combinatorial statement on which this proof is based. We pose some questions related to this statement (and the…
The dissertation describes ergodic properties of some stochastic dynamical systems generated by Markov chains with values in the state space which is a Polish space. The mathematical model describing the process of cell division is…
In an effort to effectively model observed patterns in the spatial configuration of individuals of multiple species in nature, we introduce the saturated pairwise interaction Gibbs point process. Its main strength lies in its ability to…
Here we present an ergodic theorem which adapts a Theorem by J. Elton to the classical thermodynamical formalism and to ergodic transport. First, we discuss how Elton's theorem can be used to characterise Gibbs measures for expanding maps.…
In the first part of the paper the natural scheme for proving noncommutative individual ergodic theorems for multiple sequences is described and applied to obtain results on unrestricted convergence of multiaverages. In the second part…
Exploiting the recent work of Tao and Ziegler on a concatenation theorem on factors, we find explicit characteristic factors for multiple averages along polynomials on systems with commuting transformations, and use them to study criteria…
For both continuous-time and discrete-time Markov Chains, we provide criteria for inverse problems of classical types of ergodicity: (ordinary) erogodicity, algebraic ergodicity, exponential ergodicity and strong ergodicity. Our criteria…
Improved rates of convergence for ergodic homogeneous Markov chains are studied. In comparison to the earlier papers the setting is also generalised to the case without a unique dominated measure. Examples are provided where the new bound…
A stable-like Markov chain is a time-homogeneous Markov chain on the real line with the transition kernel $p(x,dy)=f_x(y-x)dy$, where the density functions $f_x(y)$, for large $|y|$, have a power-law decay with exponent $\alpha(x)+1$, where…
We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for quasi-probability-measure-preserving (quasi-pmp) locally countable measurable graphs, equivalently, Schreier graphs of quasi-pmp actions of countable groups. For ergodic graphs, the theorem gives an…
We consider a stochastic matching model with a general compatibility graph, as introduced in \cite{MaiMoy16}. We prove that most common matching policies (including FCFM, priorities and random) satisfy a particular sub-additive property,…
We analyze the ergodicity of three one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, with harmonic, quartic and Mexican-hat potentials, coupled to the logistic thermostat. As criteria for ergodicity we employ: the independence of the Lyapunov spectrum…
This paper is concerned with the study of linear cocycles over uniformly ergodic Markov shifts on a compact space of symbols. We establish the joint H\"older continuity of the maximal Lyapunov exponent as a function of the cocycle and the…
The goal of this paper is to develop a general method to establish conditional ergodicity of infinite-dimensional Markov chains. Given a Markov chain in a product space, we aim to understand the ergodic properties of its conditional…
A result due to M. Gromov states that any two finitely generated groups {\Gamma} and {\Lambda} are quasi-isometric if and only if they admit a topological coupling, i.e., a commuting pair of proper continuous cocompact actions…
We address the excess entropy, which is a measure of complexity for stationary time series, from the ordinal point of view. We show that the permutation excess entropy is equal to the mutual information between two adjacent semi-infinite…
The fully dynamic transitive closure problem asks to maintain reachability information in a directed graph between arbitrary pairs of vertices, while the graph undergoes a sequence of edge insertions and deletions. The problem has been…
In this work we obtain a new criterion to establish ergodicity and non-uniform hyperbolicity of smooth measures of diffeomorphisms. This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this…
When performing Bayesian data analysis using a general linear mixed model, the resulting posterior density is almost always analytically intractable. However, if proper conditionally conjugate priors are used, there is a simple two-block…
