Uniform deterministic equivalent of additive functionals and non-parametric drift estimation for one-dimensional recurrent diffusions

D. Loukianova, O. Loukianov (2008)

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

Usually the problem of drift estimation for a diffusion process is considered under the hypothesis of ergodicity. It is less often considered under the hypothesis of null-recurrence, simply because there are fewer limit theorems and existing ones do not apply to the whole null-recurrent class. The aim of this paper is to provide some limit theorems for additive functionals and martingales of a general (ergodic or null) recurrent diffusion which would allow us to have a somewhat unified approach...

Uniform mixing time for random walk on lamplighter graphs

Júlia Komjáthy, Jason Miller, Yuval Peres (2014)

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

Suppose that 𝒢 is a finite, connected graph and X is a lazy random walk on 𝒢 . The lamplighter chain X associated with X is the random walk on the wreath product 𝒢 = 𝐙 2 𝒢 , the graph whose vertices consist of pairs ( f ̲ , x ) where f is a labeling of the vertices of 𝒢 by elements of 𝐙 2 = { 0 , 1 } and x is a vertex in 𝒢 . There is an edge between ( f ̲ , x ) and ( g ̲ , y ) in 𝒢 if and only if x is adjacent to y in 𝒢 and f z = g z for all z x , y . In each step, X moves from a configuration ( f ̲ , x ) by updating x to y using the transition rule of X and then sampling both...
