Double-stepped adaptive control for hybrid systems with unknown Markov jumps and stochastic noises

Shuping Tan, Ji-Feng Zhang (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is concerned with the sampled-data based adaptive linear quadratic (LQ) control of hybrid systems with both unmeasurable Markov jump processes and stochastic noises. By the least matching error estimation algorithm, parameter estimates are presented. By a double-step (DS) sampling approach and the certainty equivalence principle, a sampled-data based adaptive LQ control is designed. The DS-approach is characterized by a comparatively large estimation step for parameter estimation and...

Doubly reflected BSDEs with call protection and their approximation

Jean-François Chassagneux, Stéphane Crépey (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study the numerical approximation of doubly reflected backward stochastic differential equations with intermittent upper barrier (RIBSDEs). These denote reflected BSDEs in which the upper barrier is only active on certain random time intervals. From the point of view of financial interpretation, RIBSDEs arise as pricing equations of game options with constrained callability. In a Markovian set-up we prove a convergence rate for a time-discretization scheme by simulation to an RIBSDE. We also...

Drift, draft and structure: some mathematical models of evolution

Alison M. Etheridge (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Understanding the evolution of individuals which live in a structured and fluctuating environment is of central importance in mathematical population genetics. Here we outline some of the mathematical challenges arising from modelling structured populations, primarily focussing on the interplay between forwards in time models for the evolution of the population and backwards in time models for the genealogical trees relating individuals in a sample from that population. In addition to classical...

Duality of chordal SLE, II

Dapeng Zhan (2010)

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

We improve the geometric properties of processes derived in an earlier paper, which are then used to obtain more results about the duality of SLE. We find that for κ∈(4, 8), the boundary of a standard chordal SLE(κ) hull stopped on swallowing a fixed x∈ℝ∖{0} is the image of some trace started from a random point. Using this fact together with a similar proposition in the case that κ≥8, we obtain a description of the boundary of a standard chordal SLE(κ) hull for κ>4, at a finite stopping...
