Poisson convergence for the largest eigenvalues of heavy tailed random matrices

Antonio Auffinger, Gérard Ben Arous, Sandrine Péché (2009)

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

We study the statistics of the largest eigenvalues of real symmetric and sample covariance matrices when the entries are heavy tailed. Extending the result obtained by Soshnikov in (Electron. Commun. Probab.9 (2004) 82–91), we prove that, in the absence of the fourth moment, the asymptotic behavior of the top eigenvalues is determined by the behavior of the largest entries of the matrix.

Poisson matching

Alexander E. Holroyd, Robin Pemantle, Yuval Peres, Oded Schramm (2009)

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

Suppose that red and blue points occur as independent homogeneous Poisson processes in ℝd. We investigate translation-invariant schemes for perfectly matching the red points to the blue points. For any such scheme in dimensions d=1, 2, the matching distance X from a typical point to its partner must have infinite d/2th moment, while in dimensions d≥3 there exist schemes where X has finite exponential moments. The Gale–Shapley stable marriage is one natural matching scheme, obtained by iteratively...

Pricing of zero-coupon and coupon cat bonds

Krzysztof Burnecki, Grzegorz Kukla (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We apply the results of Baryshnikov, Mayo and Taylor (1998) to calculate non-arbitrage prices of a zero-coupon and coupon CAT bond. First, we derive pricing formulae in the compound doubly stochastic Poisson model framework. Next, we study 10-year catastrophe loss data provided by Property Claim Services and calibrate the pricing model. Finally, we illustrate the values of the CAT bonds tied to the loss data.

Process-level large deviations for nonlinear Hawkes point processes

Lingjiong Zhu (2014)

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

In this paper, we prove a process-level, also known as level-3 large deviation principle for a very general class of simple point processes, i.e. nonlinear Hawkes process, with a rate function given by the process-level entropy, which has an explicit formula.

Quermass-interaction process with convex compact grains

Kateřina Helisová, Jakub Staněk (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper concerns an extension of random disc Quermass-interaction process, i.e. the model of discs with mutual interactions, to the process of interacting objects of more general shapes. Based on the results for the random disc process and the process with polygonal grains, theoretical results for the generalized process are derived. Further, a simulation method, its advantages and the corresponding complications are described, and some examples are introduced. Finally, a short comparison to the...
