We investigate the problem of covert quickest change detection in a Bayesian and infinite-horizon setting. A legitimate entity seeks to detect a change in the state of a discrete memoryless channel as quickly as possible by actively probing…

By optimal fluctuation method, we study short-time distribution $P(\mathcal{A}=A)$ of the functionals, $\mathcal{A}=\int_{0}^{t_f} x^n(t) dt$, along constrained trajectories of random acceleration process for a given time duration $t_f$,…

In this paper, a signal detection method based on the denoise diffusion model (DM) is proposed, which outperforms the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method that has long been regarded as the optimal signal detection technique.…

Many events in biology are triggered when a diffusing searcher finds a target, which is called a first passage time (FPT). The overwhelming majority of FPT studies have analyzed the time it takes a single searcher to find a target. However,…

A variety of systems in physics, chemistry, biology, and psychology are modeled in terms of diffusing "searchers" looking for "targets." Examples range from gene regulation, to cell sensing, to human decision-making. A commonly studied…

Let $S_n$ be a random walk with i.i.d. increments which have zero mean and finite variance. For every $x\ge0$ we define the stopping time $\tau_x:=\inf\{n\ge1:x+S_n\le0\}$ and consider the probabilities $\mathbb{P}(x+S_n\ge y,\tau_x>n)$. We…

In this paper, quickest detection of false data injection attack on remote state estimation is considered. A set of $N$ sensors make noisy linear observations of a discrete-time linear process with Gaussian noise, and report the…

We study Galerkin finite element methods for an incompressible miscible flow in porous media with the commonly-used Bear-Scheidegger diffusion-dispersion tensor $D({\bf u}) = \Phi d_m I + |{\bf u}| \big ( \alpha_T I + (\alpha_L - \alpha_T)…

We show that "full-bang" control is optimal in a problem that combines features of (i) sequential least-squares {\it estimation} with Bayesian updating, for a random quantity observed in a bath of white noise; (ii) bounded {\it control} of…

This work is concerned with the development of a space-time adaptive numerical method, based on a rigorous a posteriori error bound, for a semilinear convection-diffusion problem which may exhibit blow-up in finite time. More specifically,…

In this paper, we study the optimal stopping problem in the case where the reward is given by a family $(\phi(\tau ),\;\;\tau \in \stopo)$ of non negative random variables indexed by predictable stopping times. We treat the problem by means…

We consider the representation of the value of an optimal stopping problem of a linear diffusion as an expected supremum of a known function. We establish an explicit integral representation of this function by utilizing the explicitly…

This paper continues the investigation of Du and Lou (J. European Math Soc, to appear), where the long-time behavior of positive solutions to a nonlinear diffusion equation of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)$ for $x$ over a varying interval…

Consider the problem on sequential change-point detection on multiple data streams. We provide the asymptotic lower bounds of the detection delays at all levels of change-point sparsity and we derive a smaller asymptotic lower bound of the…

This is the second part of study on the optimal convergence rate of the explicit Euler discretization in time for the convection-diffusion equations [Appl. Math. Lett. \textbf{131} (2022) 108048] which focuses on high-dimensional…

The timescales of many physical, chemical, and biological processes are determined by first passage times (FPTs) of diffusion. The overwhelming majority of FPT research studies the time it takes a single diffusive searcher to find a target.…

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. Please see arXiv:1302.6058. We consider the sequential joint detection and estimation problem. Minimizing the average stopping time subject to a combination of detection and estimation…

The problem of quickest change detection with a wireless sensor node is studied in this paper. The sensor that is deployed to monitor the environment has limited energy constraint to the classical quickest change detection problem. We…

We study stochastic optimal control problems for (possibly degenerate) McKean-Vlasov controlled diffusions and obtain discrete-time as well as finite interacting particle approximations. (i) Under mild assumptions, we first prove the…

We obtain a priori estimates with best constants for the solutions of the fractional fast diffusion equation $u_t+(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2}u^m=0$, posed in the whole space with $0<\sigma<2$, $0<m\le 1$. The estimates are expressed in terms of…
