Anomalous heat-kernel decay for random walk among bounded random conductances

N. Berger, M. Biskup, C. E. Hoffman, G. Kozma (2008)

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

We consider the nearest-neighbor simple random walk on ℤd, d≥2, driven by a field of bounded random conductances ωxy∈[0, 1]. The conductance law is i.i.d. subject to the condition that the probability of ωxy>0 exceeds the threshold for bond percolation on ℤd. For environments in which the origin is connected to infinity by bonds with positive conductances, we study the decay of the 2n-step return probability 𝖯 ω 2 n ( 0 , 0 ) . We prove that 𝖯 ω 2 n ( 0 , 0 ) is bounded by a random constant timesn−d/2 in d=2, 3, while it...

Approximation by Poisson law

Aldona Aleškevičienė, Vytautas Statulevičius (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

We present here the results of the investigation on approximation by the Poisson law of distributions of sums of random variables in the scheme of series. We give the results pertaining to the behaviour of large deviation probabilities and asymptotic expansions, to the method of cumulants, with the aid of which our results have been obtained.

Approximation of bivariate Markov chains by one-dimensional diffusion processes

Daniela Kuklíková (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with several questions of the diffusion approximation. The goal of this paper is to create the general method of reducting the dimension of the model with the aid of the diffusion approximation. Especially, two dimensional random variables are approximated by one-dimensional diffusion process by replacing one of its coordinates by a certain characteristic, e.g. by its stationary expectation. The suggested method is used for several different systems. For instance, the method is applicable...

Approximative solutions of stochastic optimization problems

Petr Lachout (2010)

Kybernetika

The aim of this paper is to present some ideas how to relax the notion of the optimal solution of the stochastic optimization problem. In the deterministic case, ε -minimal solutions and level-minimal solutions are considered as desired relaxations. We call them approximative solutions and we introduce some possibilities how to combine them with randomness. Relations among random versions of approximative solutions and their consistency are presented in this paper. No measurability is assumed, therefore,...
