On the convergence of sequences of iterates of random-valued vector functions

Rafał Kapica (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Given a probability space (Ω,,P) and a subset X of a normed space we consider functions f:X × Ω → X and investigate the speed of convergence of the sequence (fⁿ(x,·)) of the iterates f : X × Ω X defined by f¹(x,ω ) = f(x,ω₁), f n + 1 ( x , ω ) = f ( f ( x , ω ) , ω n + 1 ) .

On the convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter

Jan Mandel, Loren Cobb, Jonathan D. Beezley (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

Convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter in the limit for large ensembles to the Kalman filter is proved. In each step of the filter, convergence of the ensemble sample covariance follows from a weak law of large numbers for exchangeable random variables, the continuous mapping theorem gives convergence in probability of the ensemble members, and L p bounds on the ensemble then give L p convergence.

On the discretization in time of parabolic stochastic partial differential equations

Jacques Printems (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We first generalize, in an abstract framework, results on the order of convergence of a semi-discretization in time by an implicit Euler scheme of a stochastic parabolic equation. In this part, all the coefficients are globally Lipchitz. The case when the nonlinearity is only locally Lipchitz is then treated. For the sake of simplicity, we restrict our attention to the Burgers equation. We are not able in this case to compute a pathwise order of the approximation, we introduce the weaker notion...

On the large deviations of a class of modulated additive processes

Ken R. Duffy, Claudio Macci, Giovanni Luca Torrisi (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We prove that the large deviation principle holds for a class of processes inspired by semi-Markov additive processes. For the processes we consider, the sojourn times in the phase process need not be independent and identically distributed. Moreover the state selection process need not be independent of the sojourn times. We assume that the phase process takes values in a finite set and that the order in which elements in the set, called states, are visited is selected stochastically. The sojourn...
