Homogenization of a semilinear parabolic PDE with locally periodic coefficients: a probabilistic approach

Abdellatif Benchérif-Madani, Étienne Pardoux (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, a singular semi-linear parabolic PDE with locally periodic coefficients is homogenized. We substantially weaken previous assumptions on the coefficients. In particular, we prove new ergodic theorems. We show that in such a weak setting on the coefficients, the proper statement of the homogenization property concerns viscosity solutions, though we need a bounded Lipschitz terminal condition.

Homogenization of locally stationary diffusions with possibly degenerate diffusion matrix

Rémi Rhodes (2009)

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

This paper deals with homogenization of second order divergence form parabolic operators with locally stationary coefficients. Roughly speaking, locally stationary coefficients have two evolution scales: both an almost constant microscopic one and a smoothly varying macroscopic one. The homogenization procedure aims to give a macroscopic approximation that takes into account the microscopic heterogeneities. This paper follows [Probab. Theory Related Fields (2009)] and improves this latter work by...

Implementation of optimal Galerkin and Collocation approximations of PDEs with Random Coefficients⋆⋆⋆

J. Beck, F. Nobile, L. Tamellini, R. Tempone (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

In this work we first focus on the Stochastic Galerkin approximation of the solution u of an elliptic stochastic PDE. We rely on sharp estimates for the decay of the coefficients of the spectral expansion of u on orthogonal polynomials to build a sequence of polynomial subspaces that features better convergence properties compared to standard polynomial subspaces such as Total Degree or Tensor Product. We consider then the Stochastic Collocation method, and use the previous estimates to introduce...

Incompleteness of the bond market with Lévy noise under the physical measure

Michał Barski (2015)

Banach Center Publications

The problem of completeness of the forward rate based bond market model driven by a Lévy process under the physical measure is examined. The incompleteness of market in the case when the Lévy measure has a density function is shown. The required elements of the theory of stochastic integration over the compensated jump measure under a martingale measure are presented and the corresponding integral representation of local martingales is proven.
