On semi-martingale characterizations of functionals of symmetric Markov processes.
A rather general class of stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces whose transition semigroups are Feller with respect to the weak topology is found, and consequences for existence of invariant measures are discussed.
The information contained in the measure of all shifts of two or three given points contained in an observed compact subset of is studied. In particular, the connection of the first order directional derivatives of the described characteristic with the oriented and the unoriented normal measure of a set representable as a finite union of sets with positive reach is established. For smooth convex bodies with positive curvatures, the second and the third order directional derivatives of the characteristic...
We give two examples of periodic Gaussian processes, having entropy numbers of exactly the same order but radically different small deviations. Our construction is based on Knopp's classical result yielding existence of continuous nowhere differentiable functions, and more precisely on Loud's functions. We also obtain a general lower bound for small deviations using the majorizing measure method. We show by examples that our bound is sharp. We also apply it to Gaussian independent sequences and...
We consider the equation where is a given increasing sequence of positive numbers, and is chosen at random so that are totally independent random variables uniformly distributed on interval . We determine the probability of the event that all solutions of the equation tend to zero as .
We prove smoothing properties of nonlocal transition semigroups associated to a class of stochastic differential equations (SDE) in driven by additive pure-jump Lévy noise. In particular, we assume that the Lévy process driving the SDE is the sum of a subordinated Wiener process (i.e. , where is an increasing pure-jump Lévy process starting at zero and independent of the Wiener process ) and of an arbitrary Lévy process independent of , that the drift coefficient is continuous (but not...
