On the control of the difference between two Brownian motions: a dynamic copula approach

Thomas Deschatre (2016)

Dependence Modeling

We propose new copulae to model the dependence between two Brownian motions and to control the distribution of their difference. Our approach is based on the copula between the Brownian motion and its reflection. We show that the class of admissible copulae for the Brownian motions are not limited to the class of Gaussian copulae and that it also contains asymmetric copulae. These copulae allow for the survival function of the difference between two Brownian motions to have higher value in the right...

On the control of the difference between two Brownian motions: an application to energy markets modeling

Thomas Deschatre (2016)

Dependence Modeling

We derive a model based on the structure of dependence between a Brownian motion and its reflection according to a barrier. The structure of dependence presents two states of correlation: one of comonotonicity with a positive correlation and one of countermonotonicity with a negative correlation. This model of dependence between two Brownian motions B1 and B2 allows for the value of [...] to be higher than 1/2 when x is close to 0, which is not the case when the dependence is modeled by a constant...

On the convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions

Oliver G. Ernst, Antje Mugler, Hans-Jörg Starkloff, Elisabeth Ullmann (2012)

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

A number of approaches for discretizing partial differential equations with random data are based on generalized polynomial chaos expansions of random variables. These constitute generalizations of the polynomial chaos expansions introduced by Norbert Wiener to expansions in polynomials orthogonal with respect to non-Gaussian probability measures. We present conditions on such measures which imply mean-square convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions to the correct limit and complement...

On the convergence of the stochastic Galerkin method for random elliptic partial differential equations

Antje Mugler, Hans-Jörg Starkloff (2013)

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

In this article we consider elliptic partial differential equations with random coefficients and/or random forcing terms. In the current treatment of such problems by stochastic Galerkin methods it is standard to assume that the random diffusion coefficient is bounded by positive deterministic constants or modeled as lognormal random field. In contrast, we make the significantly weaker assumption that the non-negative random coefficients can be bounded strictly away from zero and infinity by random...

On the convergence of the wavelet-Galerkin method for nonlinear filtering

Łukasz D. Nowak, Monika Pasławska-Południak, Krystyna Twardowska (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The aim of the paper is to examine the wavelet-Galerkin method for the solution of filtering equations. We use a wavelet biorthogonal basis with compact support for approximations of the solution. Then we compute the Zakai equation for our filtering problem and consider the implicit Euler scheme in time and the Galerkin scheme in space for the solution of the Zakai equation. We give theorems on convergence and its rate. The method is numerically much more efficient than the classical Galerkin method....

On the density of some Wiener functionals: an application of Malliavin calculus.

Antoni Sintes Blanc (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Using a representation as an infinite linear combination of chi-square independent random variables, it is shown that some Wiener functionals, appearing in empirical characteristic process asymptotic theory, have densities which are tempered in the properly infinite case and exponentially decaying in the finite case.

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 estimation in a class of diffusion-type processes. Aplication for diffusion branching processes.

Manuel Molina Fernández, Aurora Hermoso Carazo (1990)

Extracta Mathematicae

In this work a family of stochastic differential equations whose solutions are multidimensional diffusion-type (non necessarily markovian) processes is considered, and the estimation of a parametric vector θ which relates the coefficients is studied. The conditions for the existence of the likelihood function are proved and the estimator is obtained by continuously observing the process. An application for Diffusion Branching Processes is given. This problem has been studied in some special cases...

On the estimation of the drift coefficient in diffusion processes with random stopping times.

Ramón Gutiérrez Jáimez, Aurora Hermoso Carazo, Manuel Molina Fernández (1986)

Trabajos de Estadística

This paper considers stochastic differential equations with solutions which are multidimensional diffusion processes with drift coefficient depending on a parametric vector θ. By considering a trajectory observed up to a stopping time, the maximum likelihood estimator for θ has been obtained and its consistency and asymptotic normality have been proved.

On the existence and asymptotic behavior of the random solutions of the random integral equation with advancing argument

Henryk Gacki (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

1. Introduction Random Integral Equations play a significant role in characterizing of many biological and engineering problems [4,5,6,7]. We present here new existence theorems for a class of integral equations with advancing argument. Our method is based on the notion of a measure of noncompactness in Banach spaces and the fixed point theorem of Darbo type. We shall deal with random integral equation with advancing argument x ( t , ω ) = h ( t , ω ) + t + δ ( t ) k ( t , τ , ω ) f ( τ , x τ ( ω ) ) d τ , (t,ω) ∈ R⁺ × Ω, (1) where (i) (Ω,A,P) is a complete probability space, (ii)...
