A backward particle interpretation of Feynman-Kac formulae

Pierre Del Moral, Arnaud Doucet, Sumeetpal S. Singh (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We design a particle interpretation of Feynman-Kac measures on path spaces based on a backward Markovian representation combined with a traditional mean field particle interpretation of the flow of their final time marginals. In contrast to traditional genealogical tree based models, these new particle algorithms can be used to compute normalized additive functionals “on-the-fly” as well as their limiting occupation measures with a given precision degree that does not depend on the final time horizon. We...

A bifurcation theory for some nonlinear elliptic equations

Biagio Ricceri (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We deal with the problem ⎧ -Δu = f(x,u) + λg(x,u), in Ω, ⎨ ( P λ ) ⎩ u Ω = 0 where Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ is a bounded domain, λ ∈ ℝ, and f,g: Ω×ℝ → ℝ are two Carathéodory functions with f(x,0) = g(x,0) = 0. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that there exists λ* > 0 such that, for each λ ∈ (0,λ*), problem ( P λ ) admits a non-zero, non-negative strong solution u λ p 2 W 2 , p ( Ω ) such that l i m λ 0 | | u λ | | W 2 , p ( Ω ) = 0 for all p ≥ 2. Moreover, the function λ I λ ( u λ ) is negative and decreasing in ]0,λ*[, where I λ is the energy functional related to ( P λ ).

A Borel extension approach to weakly compact operators on C 0 ( T )

Thiruvaiyaru V. Panchapagesan (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let X be a quasicomplete locally convex Hausdorff space. Let T be a locally compact Hausdorff space and let C 0 ( T ) = { f T I , f is continuous and vanishes at infinity } be endowed with the supremum norm. Starting with the Borel extension theorem for X -valued σ -additive Baire measures on T , an alternative proof is given to obtain all the characterizations given in [13] for a continuous linear map u C 0 ( T ) X to be weakly compact.

A C * -algebraic Schoenberg theorem

Ola Bratteli, Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Akitaka Kishimoto, Donald W. Robinson (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let 𝔄 be a C * -algebra, G a compact abelian group, τ an action of G by * -automorphisms of 𝔄 , 𝔄 τ the fixed point algebra of τ and 𝔄 F the dense sub-algebra of G -finite elements in 𝔄 . Further let H be a linear operator from 𝔄 F into 𝔄 which commutes with τ and vanishes on 𝔄 τ . We prove that H is a complete dissipation if and only if H is closable and its closure generates a C 0 -semigroup of completely positive contractions. These complete dissipations are classified in terms of certain twisted negative definite...

A characterization of evolution operators

Naoki Tanaka (2001)

Studia Mathematica

A class of evolution operators is introduced according to the device of Kato. An evolution operator introduced here provides a classical solution of the linear equation u'(t) = A(t)u(t) for t ∈ [0,T], in a general Banach space. The paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of such an evolution operator.
