Stochastic resonance is a phenomenon in which noise enhances the response of a system to an input signal. The brain is an example of a system that has to detect and transmit signals in a noisy environment, suggesting that it is a good…

We study two problems. First, we consider the large deviation behavior of empirical measures of certain diffusion processes as, simultaneously, the time horizon becomes large and noise becomes vanishingly small. The law of large numbers…

The paper is concerned with a dissipativity theory and robust performance analysis of discrete-time stochastic systems driven by a statistically uncertain random noise. The uncertainty is quantified by the conditional relative entropy of…

The traditional kernel density estimator of an unknown density is by construction completely nonparametric, in the sense that it has no preferences and will work reasonably well for all shapes. The present paper develops a class of…

A standard finite element method discretizes the stochastic linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation driven by additive noise in the spatial variables. The weak convergence of the resulting approximate solution is analyzed, and it is established…

We present for the first time an asymptotic convergence analysis of two time-scale stochastic approximation driven by `controlled' Markov noise. In particular, both the faster and slower recursions have non-additive controlled Markov noise…

In usual (non-stochastic) tensor network calculations, the truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) is often used for approximating a tensor, and it causes systematic errors. By introducing stochastic noise in the approximation,…

It is well-known that density estimation on the unit interval is asymptotically equivalent to a Gaussian white noise experiment, provided the densities are sufficiently smooth and uniformly bounded away from zero. We show that a uniform…
