Small positive values for supercritical branching processes in random environment

Vincent Bansaye, Christian Böinghoff (2014)

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

Similarity:

Branching Processes in Random Environment (BPREs) $(Z_{n} : n \geq 0)$ are the generalization of Galton–Watson processes where in each generation the reproduction law is picked randomly in an i.i.d. manner. In the supercritical case, the process survives with positive probability and then almost surely grows geometrically. This paper focuses on rare events when the process takes positive but small values for large times. We describe the asymptotic behavior of $ℙ (1 \leq Z_{n} \leq k | Z_{0} = i)$ , $k, i \in ℕ$ as $n \to \infty$ . More precisely, we characterize...

The scaling limits of a heavy tailed Markov renewal process

Julien Sohier (2013)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we consider heavy tailed Markov renewal processes and we prove that, suitably renormalised, they converge in law towards the $α$ -stable regenerative set. We then apply these results to the strip wetting model which is a random walk $S$ constrained above a wall and rewarded or penalized when it hits the strip $[0, \infty) \times [0, a]$ where $a$ is a given positive number. The convergence result that we establish allows to characterize the scaling limit of this process at criticality.

An asymptotic test for Quantitative Trait Locus detection in presence of missing genotypes

Charles-Elie Rabier (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We consider the likelihood ratio test (LRT) process related to the test of the absence of QTL (a QTL denotes a quantitative trait locus, i.e. a gene with quantitative effect on a trait) on the interval $[0, T]$ representing a chromosome. The originality is in the fact that some genotypes are missing. We give the asymptotic distribution of this LRT process under the null hypothesis that there is no QTL on $[0, T]$ and under local alternatives with a QTL at $t^{☆}$ on $[0, T]$ . We show that the LRT process is asymptotically...

The spread of a catalytic branching random walk

Philippe Carmona, Yueyun Hu (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider a catalytic branching random walk on $ℤ$ that branches at the origin only. In the supercritical regime we establish a law of large number for the maximal position $M_{n}$ : For some constant $α$ , $\frac{M_{n}}{n} \to α$ almost surely on the set of infinite number of visits of the origin. Then we determine all possible limiting laws for $M_{n} - α n$ as $n$ goes to infinity.

Random walks in ${(ℤ_{+})}^{2}$ with non-zero drift absorbed at the axes

Irina Kurkova, Kilian Raschel (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Spatially homogeneous random walks in ${(ℤ_{+})}^{2}$ with non-zero jump probabilities at distance at most $1$ , with non-zero drift in the interior of the quadrant and absorbed when reaching the axes are studied. Absorption probabilities generating functions are obtained and the asymptotic of absorption probabilities along the axes is made explicit. The asymptotic of the Green functions is computed along all different infinite paths of states, in particular along those approaching the axes. ...

Asymptotic behavior of a sequence defined by iteration with applications

Stevo Stević (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the asymptotic behavior of some classes of sequences defined by a recurrent formula. The main result is the following: Let f: (0,∞)² → (0,∞) be a continuous function such that (a) 0 < f(x,y) < px + (1-p)y for some p ∈ (0,1) and for all x,y ∈ (0,α), where α > 0; (b) $f (x, y) = p x + (1 - p) y - \sum_{s = m}^{\infty} s (x, y)$ uniformly in a neighborhood of the origin, where m > 1, $_{s} (x, y) = \sum_{i = 0}^{s} a_{i, s} x^{s - i} y^{i}$ ; (c) $ₘ (1, 1) = \sum_{i = 0}^{m} a_{i, m} > 0$ . Let x₀,x₁ ∈ (0,α) and $x_{n + 1} = f (x ₙ, x_{n - 1})$ , n ∈ ℕ. Then the sequence (xₙ) satisfies the following asymptotic formula: $x ₙ \sim {((2 - p) / ((m - 1) \sum_{i = 0}^{m} a_{i, m}))}^{1 / (m - 1)} 1 / \sqrt[m - 1]{n}$ .

Existence and asymptotic behaviour of some time-inhomogeneous diffusions

Mihai Gradinaru, Yoann Offret (2013)

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

Similarity:

Let us consider a solution of a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by a standard Brownian motion with time-inhomogeneous drift coefficient ${ρ sgn (x) | x |}^{α} / t^{β}$ . This process can be viewed as a Brownian motion evolving in a potential, possibly singular, depending on time. We prove results on the existence and uniqueness of solution, study its asymptotic behaviour and made a precise description, in terms of parameters $ρ$ , $α$ and $β$ , of the recurrence, transience and convergence. More precisely,...

On Paszkiewicz-type criterion for a.e. continuity of processes in $L^{p}$ -spaces

Jakub Olejnik (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we consider processes Xₜ with values in $L^{p}$ , p ≥ 1 on subsets T of a unit cube in ℝⁿ satisfying a natural condition of boundedness of increments, i.e. a process has bounded increments if for some non-decreasing f: ℝ₊ → ℝ₊ ||Xₜ-Xₛ||ₚ ≤ f(||t-s||), s,t ∈ T. We give a sufficient criterion for a.s. continuity of all processes with bounded increments on subsets of a given set T. This criterion turns out to be necessary for a wide class of functions f. We use a geometrical Paszkiewicz-type...

Large scale behaviour of the spatial $𝛬$ -Fleming–Viot process

N. Berestycki, A. M. Etheridge, A. Véber (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider the spatial $𝛬$ -Fleming–Viot process model ( (2010) 162–216) for frequencies of genetic types in a population living in $ℝ^{d}$ , in the special case in which there are just two types of individuals, labelled $0$ and $1$ . At time zero, everyone in a given half-space has type 1, whereas everyone in the complementary half-space has type $0$ . We are concerned with patterns of frequencies of the two types at large space and time scales. We consider two cases, one in which the...

Universality of the asymptotics of the one-sided exit problem for integrated processes

Frank Aurzada, Steffen Dereich (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider the one-sided exit problem – also called one-sided barrier problem – for ( $α$ -fractionally) integrated random walks and Lévy processes. Our main result is that there exists a positive, non-increasing function $α \mapsto θ (α)$ such that the probability that any $α$ -fractionally integrated centered Lévy processes (or random walk) with some finite exponential moment stays below a fixed level until time $T$ behaves as $T^{- θ (α) + o (1)}$ for large $T$ . We also investigate when the fixed level can be replaced by a different...

Stationary distributions for jump processes with memory

K. Burdzy, T. Kulczycki, R. L. Schilling (2012)

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

Similarity:

We analyze a jump processes $Z$ with a jump measure determined by a “memory” process $S$ . The state space of $(Z, S)$ is the Cartesian product of the unit circle and the real line. We prove that the stationary distribution of $(Z, S)$ is the product of the uniform probability measure and a Gaussian distribution.

Limit distributions for multitype branching processes of $m$ -ary search trees

Brigitte Chauvin, Quansheng Liu, Nicolas Pouyanne (2014)

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

Similarity:

Let $m \geq 3$ be an integer. The so-calledis a discrete time Markov chain which is very popular in theoretical computer science, modelling famous algorithms used in searching and sorting. This random process satisfies a well-known phase transition: when $m \leq 26$ , the asymptotic behavior of the process is Gaussian, but for $m \geq 27$ it is no longer Gaussian and a limit $W^{D T}$ of a complex-valued martingale arises. In this paper, we consider the multitype branching process which is the continuous time version of...

On the strong Brillinger-mixing property of $α$ -determinantal point processes and some applications

Lothar Heinrich (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

First, we derive a representation formula for all cumulant density functions in terms of the non-negative definite kernel function $C (x, y)$ defining an $α$ -determinantal point process (DPP). Assuming absolute integrability of the function $C_{0} (x) = C (o, x)$ , we show that a stationary $α$ -DPP with kernel function $C_{0} (x)$ is “strongly” Brillinger-mixing, implying, among others, that its tail- $σ$ -field is trivial. Second, we use this mixing property to prove rates of normal convergence for shot-noise processes and sketch...

Covariance structure of wide-sense Markov processes of order k ≥ 1

Arkadiusz Kasprzyk, Władysław Szczotka (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

A notion of a wide-sense Markov process $X_{t}$ of order k ≥ 1, $X_{t} \sim W M (k)$ , is introduced as a direct generalization of Doob’s notion of wide-sense Markov process (of order k=1 in our terminology). A base for investigation of the covariance structure of $X_{t}$ is the k-dimensional process $x_{t} = (X_{t - k + 1}, . . ., X_{t})$ . The covariance structure of $X_{t} \sim W M (k)$ is considered in the general case and in the periodic case. In the general case it is shown that $X_{t} \sim W M (k)$ iff $x_{t}$ is a k-dimensional WM(1) process and iff the covariance function of $x_{t}$ has the triangular...

Lévy processes conditioned on having a large height process

Mathieu Richard (2013)

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

Similarity:

In the present work, we consider spectrally positive Lévy processes $(X_{t}, t \geq 0)$ not drifting to $+ \infty$ and we are interested in conditioning these processes to reach arbitrarily large heights (in the sense of the height process associated with $X$ ) before hitting $0$ . This way we obtain a new conditioning of Lévy processes to stay positive. The (honest) law $ℙ_{x}^{☆}$ of this conditioned process (starting at $x g t; 0$ ) is defined as a Doob $h$ -transform via a martingale. For Lévy processes with infinite variation paths,...
