Isolated points of some sets of bounded cosine families, bounded semigroups, and bounded groups on a Banach space

Adam Bobrowski, Wojciech Chojnacki (2013)

Studia Mathematica

We show that if the set of all bounded strongly continuous cosine families on a Banach space X is treated as a metric space under the metric of the uniform convergence associated with the operator norm on the space 𝓛(X) of all bounded linear operators on X, then the isolated points of this set are precisely the scalar cosine families. By definition, a scalar cosine family is a cosine family whose members are all scalar multiples of the identity operator. We also show that if the sets of all bounded...

Karhunen-Loève expansions of α-Wiener bridges

Mátyás Barczy, Endre Iglói (2011)

Open Mathematics

We study Karhunen-Loève expansions of the process(X t(α))t∈[0,T) given by the stochastic differential equation d X t ( α ) = - α T - t X t ( α ) d t + d B t , t [ 0 , T ) , with the initial condition X 0(α) = 0, where α > 0, T ∈ (0, ∞), and (B t)t≥0 is a standard Wiener process. This process is called an α-Wiener bridge or a scaled Brownian bridge, and in the special case of α = 1 the usual Wiener bridge. We present weighted and unweighted Karhunen-Loève expansions of X (α). As applications, we calculate the Laplace transform and the distribution function...

Large scale behavior of semiflexible heteropolymers

Francesco Caravenna, Giambattista Giacomin, Massimiliano Gubinelli (2010)

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

We consider a general discrete model for heterogeneous semiflexible polymer chains. Both the thermal noise and the inhomogeneous character of the chain (the disorder) are modeled in terms of random rotations. We focus on the quenched regime, i.e., the analysis is performed for a given realization of the disorder. Semiflexible models differ substantially from random walks on short scales, but on large scales a brownian behavior emerges. By exploiting techniques from tensor analysis and non-commutative...
