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…
This paper studies finite element approximations of the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with gradient-type multiplicative noises that are white in time and correlated in space. The sharp interface limit as the parameter $\epsilon \rightarrow…

Data on nuclear level densities extracted from transmission data or gamma energy spectrum store the basic statistical information about nuclei at various temperatures. Generally this extracted data goes through model fitting using computer…
This work focuses on topics related to Hamiltonian stochastic differential equations with L\'{e}vy noise. We first show that the phase flow of the stochastic system preserves symplectic structure, and propose a stochastic version 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…
We consider a Kuramoto-Shivashinsky like equation close to the threshold of instability with additive white noise and spatially periodic boundary conditions which simultaneously exhibit Turing bifurcations with a spatial 1:3 resonance of…
This paper derives non-asymptotic error bounds for nonlinear stochastic approximation algorithms in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance. To obtain explicit finite-sample guarantees for the last iterate, we develop a coupling argument that compares…
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,…
We introduce a new framework for analyzing (Quasi-}Newton type methods applied to non-smooth optimization problems. The source of randomness comes from the evaluation of the (approximation) of the Hessian. We derive, using a variant of…
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…
We study the small-mass limit, also known as the Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation (see \cite{kra} and \cite{smolu}), for a system of stochastic damped wave equations, whose solution is constrained to live in the unitary sphere…
The small mass limit of the Langevin equation perturbed by $\alpha$-stable L\'{e}vy noise is considered by rewriting it in the form of slow-fast system, and spliting the fast component into three parts, where $\alpha\in(1,2)$. By exploring…
We consider minimizing a smooth and strongly convex objective function using a stochastic Newton method. At each iteration, the algorithm is given an oracle access to a stochastic estimate of the Hessian matrix. The oracle model includes…
In a stochastic noise setting the Lepskij balancing principle for choosing the regularization parameter in the regularization of inverse problems is depending on a parameter $\tau$ which in the currently known proofs is depending on the…
We propose a new approach to non-parametric density estimation that is based on regularizing a Sobolev norm of the density. This method is statistically consistent, and makes the inductive bias of the model clear and interpretable. While…
