Model Predictive Control (MPC) is well understood in the deterministic setting, yet rigorous stability and performance guarantees for stochastic MPC remain limited to the consideration of terminal constraints and penalties. In contrast,…

We suppose that a L\'evy process is observed at discrete time points. A rather general construction of minimum-distance estimators is shown to give consistent estimators of the L\'evy-Khinchine characteristics as the number of observations…

We consider a recurrent Markov process which is an It\^o semi-martingale. The L\'evy kernel describes the law of its jumps. Based on observations X(0),X({\Delta}),...,X(n{\Delta}), we construct an estimator for the L\'evy kernel's density.…

This paper studies a stochastic mean-field linear-quadratic optimal control problem with random coefficients. The state equation is a general linear stochastic differential equation with mean-field terms $\EE X(t)$ and $\EE u(t)$ of the…

Stochastic optimal control problems have a long tradition in applied probability, with the questions addressed being of high relevance in a multitude of fields. Even though theoretical solutions are well understood in many scenarios, their…

It is known that the exponential functional of a Poisson process admits a probability density function in the form of an infinite series. In this paper, we obtain an explicit expression for the density function of the exponential functional…

For spectrally positive L\'evy processes killed on exiting the half-line, existence of a quasi-stationary distribution is characterized by the exponential integrability of the exit time, the Laplace exponent and the non-negativity of the…

Suppose we have a high-frequency sample from the L\'{e}vy process of the form $X_t^\theta=\beta t+\gamma Z_t+U_t$, where $Z$ is a possibly asymmetric locally $\alpha$-stable L\'{e}vy process, and $U$ is a nuisance L\'{e}vy process less…

We establish uniform pointwise estimates for the densities of a family of $\alpha$-stable processes with respect to the index $\alpha \in [\alpha_0,2]$ for some $\alpha_0>0$. In addition, we estimate the difference between the heat kernels…

We provide new asymptotic theory for kernel density estimators, when these are applied to autoregressive processes exhibiting moderate deviations from a unit root. This fills a gap in the existing literature, which has to date considered…

The L\'evy-stable distribution is the attractor of distributions which hold power laws with infinite variance. This distribution has been used in a variety of research areas, for example in economics it is used to model financial market…

Asymptotic statistical theory for estimating functions is reviewed in a generality suitable for stochastic processes. Conditions concerning existence of a consistent estimator, uniqueness, rate of convergence, and the asymptotic…

Control Lyapunov function is a central tool in stabilization. It generalizes an abstract energy function -- a Lyapunov function -- to the case of controlled systems. It is a known fact that most control Lyapunov functions are non-smooth --…

We present an asymptotic control theory for a system of an arbitrary number of linear oscillators under a common bounded control. We suggest a design method of a feedback control for this system. By using the DiPerna-Lions theory of…

As an alternative to synthetic control, the distributional Synthetic Control (DSC) proposed by Gunsilius (2023) provides estimates for quantile treatment effect and thus enabling researchers to comprehensively understand the impact of…

We study the problem of the minimum-time damping of a closed string under a bounded load, applied at a single fixed point. A constructive feedback control law is designed, which allows bringing the system to a bounded neighbourhood of the…

We provide a distributed coordinated approach to the stability analysis and control design of large-scale nonlinear dynamical systems by using a vector Lyapunov functions approach. In this formulation the large-scale system is decomposed…

Let $V$ be a two sided random walk and let $X$ denote a real valued diffusion process with generator ${1/2}e^{V([x])}\frac{d}{dx}(e^{-V([x])}\frac{d}{dx})$. This process is known to be the continuous equivalent of the one dimensional random…

The purpose of this paper is to review and highlight some connections between the problem of nonlinear smoothing and optimal control of the Liouville equation. The latter has been an active area of recent research interest owing to work in…

A short proof is given of a necessary and sufficient condition for the normalized occupation measure of a L\'evy process in a metrizable compact group to be asymptotically uniform with probability one.
