  • Markovian Bridges: Weak Continuity and Pathwise Constructions
    The Annals of Probability 2011, Vol. 39, No. 2, 609–647 DOI: 10.1214/10-AOP562 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2011 MARKOVIAN BRIDGES: WEAK CONTINUITY AND PATHWISE CONSTRUCTIONS1 By Lo¨ıc Chaumont and Geronimo´ Uribe Bravo2,3 Universit´ed’Angers and Universidad Nacional Aut´onoma de M´exico A Markovian bridge is a probability measure taken from a disin- tegration of the law of an initial part of the path of a Markov process given its terminal value. As such, Markovian bridges admit a natural parameterization in terms of the state space of the process. In the context of Feller processes with continuous transition densities, we construct by weak convergence considerations the only versions of Markovian bridges which are weakly continuous with respect to their parameter. We use this weakly continuous construction to provide an extension of the strong Markov property in which the flow of time is reversed. In the context of self-similar Feller process, the last result is shown to be useful in the construction of Markovian bridges out of the trajectories of the original process. 1. Introduction and main results. 1.1. Motivation. The aim of this article is to study Markov processes on [0,t], starting at x, conditioned to arrive at y at time t. Historically, the first example of such a conditional law is given by Paul L´evy’s construction of the Brownian bridge: given a Brownian motion B starting at zero, let s s bx,y,t = x + B B + (y x) . s s − t t − t arXiv:0905.2155v3 [math.PR] 14 Mar 2011 Received May 2009; revised April 2010.

  • Patterns in Random Walks and Brownian Motion
    Patterns in Random Walks and Brownian Motion Jim Pitman and Wenpin Tang Abstract We ask if it is possible to find some particular continuous paths of unit length in linear Brownian motion. Beginning with a discrete version of the problem, we derive the asymptotics of the expected waiting time for several interesting patterns. These suggest corresponding results on the existence/non-existence of continuous paths embedded in Brownian motion. With further effort we are able to prove some of these existence and non-existence results by various stochastic analysis arguments. A list of open problems is presented. AMS 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60C05, 60G17, 60J65. 1 Introduction and Main Results We are interested in the question of embedding some continuous-time stochastic processes .Zu;0Ä u Ä 1/ into a Brownian path .BtI t 0/, without time-change or scaling, just by a random translation of origin in spacetime. More precisely, we ask the following: Question 1 Given some distribution of a process Z with continuous paths, does there exist a random time T such that .BTCu BT I 0 Ä u Ä 1/ has the same distribution as .Zu;0Ä u Ä 1/? The question of whether external randomization is allowed to construct such a random time T, is of no importance here. In fact, we can simply ignore Brownian J.

    SIZE AND SHAPE OF TRACKED BROWNIAN BRIDGES ABDULRAHMAN ALSOLAMI, JAMES BURRIDGE AND MICHALGNACIK Abstract. We investigate the typical sizes and shapes of sets of points obtained by irregularly tracking two-dimensional Brownian bridges. The tracking process consists of observing the path location at the arrival times of a non-homogeneous Poisson process on a finite time interval. The time varying intensity of this observation process is the tracking strategy. By analysing the gyration tensor of tracked points we prove two theorems which relate the tracking strategy to the average gyration radius, and to the asphericity { a measure of how non-spherical the point set is. The act of tracking may be interpreted either as a process of observation, or as process of depositing time decaying \evidence" such as scent, environmental disturbance, or disease particles. We present examples of different strategies, and explore by simulation the effects of varying the total number of tracking points. 1. Introduction Understanding the statistical properties of human and animal movement processes is of interest to ecologists [1, 2, 3], epidemiologists [4, 5, 6], criminologists [7], physicists and mathematicians [8, 9, 10, 11], including those interested in the evolution of human culture and language [12, 13, 14]. Advances in information and communication technologies have allowed automated collection of large numbers of human and animal trajectories [15, 16], allowing real movement patterns to be studied in detail and compared to idealised mathematical models. Beyond academic study, movement data has important practical applications, for example in controlling the spread of disease through contact tracing [6]. Due to the growing availability and applications of tracking information, it is useful to possess a greater analytical understanding of the typical shape and size characteristics of trajectories which are observed, or otherwise emit information.

  • On Conditionally Heteroscedastic Ar Models with Thresholds
    Statistica Sinica 24 (2014), 625-652 doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.5705/ss.2012.185 ON CONDITIONALLY HETEROSCEDASTIC AR MODELS WITH THRESHOLDS Kung-Sik Chan, Dong Li, Shiqing Ling and Howell Tong University of Iowa, Tsinghua University, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology and London School of Economics & Political Science Abstract: Conditional heteroscedasticity is prevalent in many time series. By view- ing conditional heteroscedasticity as the consequence of a dynamic mixture of in- dependent random variables, we develop a simple yet versatile observable mixing function, leading to the conditionally heteroscedastic AR model with thresholds, or a T-CHARM for short. We demonstrate its many attributes and provide com- prehensive theoretical underpinnings with efficient computational procedures and algorithms. We compare, via simulation, the performance of T-CHARM with the GARCH model. We report some experiences using data from economics, biology, and geoscience. Key words and phrases: Compound Poisson process, conditional variance, heavy tail, heteroscedasticity, limiting distribution, quasi-maximum likelihood estimation, random field, score test, T-CHARM, threshold model, volatility. 1. Introduction We can often model a time series as the sum of a conditional mean function, the drift or trend, and a conditional variance function, the diffusion. See, e.g., Tong (1990). The drift attracted attention from very early days, although the importance of the diffusion did not go entirely unnoticed, with an example in ecological populations as early as Moran (1953); a systematic modelling of the diffusion did not seem to attract serious attention before the 1980s. For discrete-time cases, our focus, as far as we are aware it is in the econo- metric and finance literature that the modelling of the conditional variance has been treated seriously, although Tong and Lim (1980) did include conditional heteroscedasticity.

    A FINITE-VOLUME METHOD FOR FLUCTUATING DYNAMICAL DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY ANTONIO RUSSO†, SERGIO P. PEREZ†, MIGUEL A. DURAN-OLIVENCIA,´ PETER YATSYSHIN, JOSE´ A. CARRILLO, AND SERAFIM KALLIADASIS Abstract. We introduce a finite-volume numerical scheme for solving stochastic gradient-flow equations. Such equations are of crucial importance within the framework of fluctuating hydrodynamics and dynamic density func- tional theory. Our proposed scheme deals with general free-energy functionals, including, for instance, external fields or interaction potentials. This allows us to simulate a range of physical phenomena where thermal fluctuations play a crucial role, such as nucleation and other energy-barrier crossing transitions. A positivity-preserving algorithm for the density is derived based on a hybrid space discretization of the deterministic and the stochastic terms and different implicit and explicit time integrators. We show through numerous applications that not only our scheme is able to accurately reproduce the statistical properties (structure factor and correlations) of the physical system, but, because of the multiplicative noise, it allows us to simulate energy barrier crossing dynamics, which cannot be captured by mean-field approaches. 1. Introduction The study of fluid dynamics encounters major challenges due to the inherently multiscale nature of fluids. Not surprisingly, fluid dynamics has been one of the main arenas of activity for numerical analysis and fluids are commonly studied via numerical simulations, either at molecular scale, by using molecular dynamics (MD) or Monte Carlo (MC) simulations; or at macro scale, by utilising deterministic models based on the conservation of fundamental quantities, namely mass, momentum and energy. While atomistic simulations take into account thermal fluctuations, they come with an important drawback, the enormous computational cost of having to resolve at least three degrees of freedom per particle.

  • Stochastic Flows Associated to Coalescent Processes II

(2) DMA, Ecole normale sup´erieure, 45, rue d'Ulm, F-75005 Paris, France. Summary. We obtain precise information about the stochastic flows of bridges that are associated with the so-called Λ-coalescents. When the measure Λ gives no mass to 0, we prove that the flow of bridges is generated by a stochastic differential equation driven by a Poisson point process. On the other hand, the case Λ = δ0 of the Kingman coalescent gives rise to a flow of coalescing diffusions on the interval [0; 1]. We also discuss a remarkable Brownian flow on the circle which has close connections with the Kingman coalescent Titre.

Pflug1,2 Received: 4 March 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Real-world multistage stochastic optimization problems are often characterized by the fact that the decision maker may take actions only at specific points in time, even if relevant data can be observed much more frequently. In such a case there are not only multiple decision stages present but also several observation periods between consec- utive decisions, where profits/costs occur contingent on the stochastic evolution of some uncertainty factors. We refer to such multistage decision problems with encap- sulated multiperiod random costs, as multiscale stochastic optimization problems. In this article, we present a tailor-made modeling framework for such problems, which allows for a computational solution. We first establish new results related to the gen- eration of scenario lattices and then incorporate the multiscale feature by leveraging the theory of stochastic bridge processes. All necessary ingredients to our proposed modeling framework are elaborated explicitly for various popular examples, including both diffusion and jump models.

Introduction Let D be the space of c.`a.d. l.`a.g. functions with finite or infinite life time. We are interested in maps from D onto itself which connect the paths of stochastic processes related to L´evy processes. The existence of such path transformations is mainly due to the special properties of the increments of L´evy processes and their main interest is to provide and explain some identities in law between remarkable functionals. In most of the cases such identities are first noticed by pure calculation in particular cases like Brownian motion or Cauchy processes. Then, it sometimes arises that they have pathwise explanation which can be spread to a large class of L´evy processes. Moreover, these path transformations usually lead to more complete identities in law than the initial one. To illustrate this topic, we chose to present two examples. The first one is known as Ver- vaat’s transformation and its aim was to explain the identity in law between the amplitude of the Brownian bridge and the maximum of the normalized Brownian excursion. The second one is due to Bertoin, (1993). It provides a pathwise explanation of the identity in law between the time spent under 0 by a L´evy process up to time 1 and the time at which this process first hits its minimum before 1.

The tracking process consists of observing the path location at the arrival times of a non-homogeneous Pois- son process on a finite time interval. The time varying intensity of this observa- tion process is the tracking strategy. By analysing the gyration tensor of tracked points we prove two theorems which relate the tracking strategy to the aver- age gyration radius, and to the asphericity—a measure of how non-spherical the point set is. The act of tracking may be interpreted either as a process of observation, or as process of depositing time decaying ‘evidence’ such as scent, environmental disturbance, or disease particles.
