Existence of nontrivial stochastic monoids.
For the stochastic viability problem of the form dx(t) ∈ F(t,x(t))dt+g(t,x(t))dW(t), x(t) ∈ K(t), where K, F are set-valued maps which may have nonconvex values, g is a single-valued function, we establish the existence of solutions under the assumption that F and g possess Lipschitz property and satisfy some tangential conditions.
We study a free energy computation procedure, introduced in [Darve and Pohorille, J. Chem. Phys.115 (2001) 9169–9183; Hénin and Chipot, J. Chem. Phys.121 (2004) 2904–2914], which relies on the long-time behavior of a nonlinear stochastic differential equation. This nonlinearity comes from a conditional expectation computed with respect to one coordinate of the solution. The long-time convergence of the solutions to this equation has been proved in [Lelièvre et al., Nonlinearity21 (2008) 1155–1181],...
Existence, uniqueness and ergodicity of weak solutions to the equation of stochastic quantization in finite volume is obtained as a simple consequence of the Girsanov theorem.
We prove that the Cayley graphs of are expanders with respect to the projection of any fixed elements in generating a Zariski dense subgroup.
