How to get Central Limit Theorems for global errors of estimates

Alain Berlinet (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

The asymptotic behavior of global errors of functional estimates plays a key role in hypothesis testing and confidence interval building. Whereas for pointwise errors asymptotic normality often easily follows from standard Central Limit Theorems, global errors asymptotics involve some additional techniques such as strong approximation, martingale theory and Poissonization. We review these techniques in the framework of density estimation from independent identically distributed random variables,...

Hydrodynamic limit for a particle system with degenerate rates

P. Gonçalves, C. Landim, C. Toninelli (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study the hydrodynamic limit for some conservative particle systems with degenerate rates, namely with nearest neighbor exchange rates which vanish for certain configurations. These models belong to the class of kinetically constrained lattice gases (KCLG) which have been introduced and intensively studied in physical literature as simple models for the liquid/glass transition. Due to the degeneracy of rates there exist blocked configurations which do not evolve under the dynamics and in general...

Hydrodynamic limit of a d-dimensional exclusion process with conductances

Fábio Júlio Valentim (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Fix a polynomial Φ of the form Φ(α) = α + ∑2≤j≤m  aj  αk=1j with Φ'(1) gt; 0. We prove that the evolution, on the diffusive scale, of the empirical density of exclusion processes on 𝕋 d , with conductances given by special class of functionsW, is described by the unique weak solution of the non-linear parabolic partial differential equation ∂tρ = ∑d  ∂xk  ∂Wk  Φ(ρ). We also derive some properties of the operator ∑k=1d  ...

Hydrodynamical behavior of symmetric exclusion with slow bonds

Tertuliano Franco, Patrícia Gonçalves, Adriana Neumann (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider the exclusion process in the one-dimensional discrete torus with N points, where all the bonds have conductance one, except a finite number of slow bonds, with conductance N - β , with β [ 0 , ) . We prove that the time evolution of the empirical density of particles, in the diffusive scaling, has a distinct behavior according to the range of the parameter β . If β [ 0 , 1 ) , the hydrodynamic limit is given by the usual heat equation. If β = 1 , it is given by a parabolic equation involving an operator d d x d d W , where W ...
