In this paper we investigate the long-time behavior of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations of the type $du = (Au + f(u))dt + \sigma(u) dW(t)$, where $A$ is an elliptic operator, $f$ and $\sigma$ are nonlinear maps and $W$ is an infinite…
For nonlinear functions f of a random vector Y, E[f(Y)] and f(E[Y]) usually differ. Consequently the mathematical expectation of Y is not intrinsic: when we change coordinate systems, it is not invariant.This article is about a fundamental…
Let $(X_n)$ be a Markov chain on a standard borelian space $\mathbb{X}$. Any stopping time $\tau$ such that $\mathbb{E}_x\tau$ is finite for all $x\in\mathbb{X}$ induces a Markov chain in $\mathbb{X}$. In this article, we show that there is…
We consider a variant of random walks on finite groups. At each step, we choose an element from a set of generators ("directions") uniformly, and an integer from a power law ("speed") distribution associated with the chosen direction. We…
We study invariant measures for random countable (finite or infinite) conformal iterated function systems (IFS) with arbitrary overlaps. We do not assume any type of separation condition. We prove, under a mild assumption of finite entropy,…
A distributional equation as a criterion for invariant measures of Markov processes associated to L\'evy-type operators is established. This is obtained via a characterization of infinitesimally invariant measures of the associated…
We establish an invariance principle for a one-dimensional random walk in a dynamical random environment given by a speed-change exclusion process. The jump probabilities of the walk depend on the configuration of the exclusion in a finite…
We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let $Y_\epsilon$ be uniformly distributed in $[1- \epsilon, 1 + \epsilon]$ and let $f_i \in C^{1+\alpha}$ be contractions with fixpoints $a_i$. We consider the…
A simple model of an irreversible process is introduced. The equation of iterations in the model includes a noise generation term. We study the properties of the system when the noise generation term is a stochastic process (e.g. a random…
We consider the invariant measure of homogeneous random walks in the quarter-plane. In particular, we consider measures that can be expressed as a finite linear combination of geometric terms and present conditions on the structure of these…
It is shown that some convolution semigroups of infinitely divisible measures are invariant under the random integral mappings $I^{h,r}_{(a,b]}$ defined in $(\star)$ below. The converse implication is specified for the semigroups of…
We consider a general piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP) $X=\{X_t\}_{t\geqslant 0}$ with measure-valued generator $\mathcal{A}$, for which the conditional distribution function of the inter-occurrence time is not necessarily…
We consider homogeneous random walks in the quarter-plane. The necessary conditions which characterize random walks of which the invariant measure is a sum of geometric terms are provided in [2,3]. Based on these results, we first develop…
We investigate the characterization of generators $\mathcal{L}$ of L\'evy processes satisfying the Liouville theorem: Bounded functions $u$ solving $\mathcal{L}[u]=0$ are constant. These operators are degenerate elliptic of the form…
In this paper, we consider random walks in Dirichlet random environment (RWDE) on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove that, if the RWDE is recurrent (which is strongly conjectured when the weights are symmetric), then there does not exist any…
We consider iterated function systems (IFS) in ${\mathbb R}^d$ for $d\ge 3$ of the form $\{f_j(x) = \lambda {\mathcal O} x + a_j\}_{j=0}^m$, with $a_0=0$ and $m\ge 1$. Here $\lambda\in (0,1)$ is the contraction ratio and ${\mathcal O}$ is…
We consider a one-dimensional totally asymmetric nearest-neighbor zero-range process with site-dependent jump-rates - an environment. For each environment p we prove that the set of all invariant measures is the convex hull of a set of…
Following the thread of R. Gastmans, S. L. Wu and T. T. Wu, the calculation in the unitary gauge for the $H \to \gamma \gamma$ process via one W loop is repeated, but without the specific choice of the independent loop momentum for the…
Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $E$ be a $G$-space. An irreducible probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ is said to have Liouville property on $E$ if $G$-invariant functions on $E$ are the only continuous bounded functions on $E$ that…
Likelihood-free inference involves inferring parameter values given observed data and a simulator model. The simulator is computer code which takes parameters, performs stochastic calculations, and outputs simulated data. In this work, we…
