Transition path theory (TPT) for diffusion processes is a framework for analysing the transitions of multiscale ergodic diffusion processes between disjoint metastable subsets of state space. Most methods for applying TPT involve the…

We derive a large deviation principle for the empirical currents of lattice gas dynamics which combine a fast stirring mechanism (Symmetric Simple Exclusion Process) and creation/annihilation mechanisms (Glauber dynamics). Previous results…

We consider the random point processes on a measure space X defined by the Gibbs measures associated to a given sequence of N-particle Hamiltonians H^{(N)}. Inspired by the method of Messer-Spohn for proving concentration properties for the…

In this short note we investigate the numerical performance of the method of artificial diffusion for second-order fully nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. The method was proposed in (M. Jensen and I. Smears, arxiv:1111.5423);…

We describe a new MCMC method optimized for the sampling of probability measures on Hilbert space which have a density with respect to a Gaussian; such measures arise in the Bayesian approach to inverse problems, and in conditioned…

We consider the road-field reaction-diffusion model introduced by Berestycki, Roquejoffre, and Rossi. By performing a "thin-front limit," we are able to deduce a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a suitable effective Hamiltonian on the road…

We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of finite-rank matrix tensor products. In general, we bound the limit from above by the unique solution to a certain Hamilton-Jacobi equation.…

Let $E$ be a complete, separable metric space and $A$ be an operator on $C_b(E)$. We give an abstract definition of viscosity sub/supersolution of the resolvent equation $\lambda u-Au=h$ and show that, if the comparison principle holds,…

In this paper, we introduce a mathematical apparatus that is relevant for understanding a dynamical system with small random perturbations and coupled with the so-called transmutation process -- where the latter jumps from one mode to…

In this paper we prove scalar and sample path large deviation principles for a large class of Poisson cluster processes. As a consequence, we provide a large deviation principle for ergodic Hawkes point processes.

The incidence of rare events in fast-slow systems is investigated via analysis of the large deviation principle (LDP) that characterizes the likelihood and pathway of large fluctuations of the slow variables away from their mean behavior --…

We develop exact Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for discretely-sampled, directly and indirectly observed diffusions. The qualification "exact" refers to the fact that the invariant and limiting distribution of the Markov chains is the…

A large deviation principle is established for a two-scale stochastic system in which the slow component is a continuous process given by a small noise finite dimensional It\^{o} stochastic differential equation, and the fast component is a…

In this short paper, we consider discrete-time Markov chains on lattices as approximations to continuous-time diffusion processes. The approximations can be interpreted as finite difference schemes for the generator of the process. We…
