Quelques problèmes associés au processus de Donsker-Varadhan
For stochastic differential equations of pure jumps, though the Poincaré inequality does not hold in general, we show that 1 transportation inequalities hold for its invariant probability measure and for its process-level law on right continuous paths space in the 1-metric or in uniform metrics, under the dissipative condition. Several applications to concentration inequalities are given.
By direct calculus we identify explicitly the lipschitzian norm of the solution of the Poisson equation in terms of various norms of , where is a Sturm–Liouville operator or generator of a non-singular diffusion in an interval. This allows us to obtain the best constant in the 1-Poincaré inequality (a little stronger than the Cheeger isoperimetric inequality) and some sharp transportation–information inequalities and concentration inequalities for empirical means. We conclude with several illustrative...
For stationary Gaussian processes, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for Poincaré inequality and log-Sobolev inequality of process-level and provide the sharp constants. The extension to moving average processes is also presented, as well as several concrete examples.
