On a graph, we give a characterization of a parabolic Harnack inequality and Gaussian estimates for reversible Markov chains by geometric properties (volume regularity and Poincaré inequality).
The aim of this paper is to give a description of the Poisson kernel and the Green function of balls in the complex hyperbolic space. The description is in terms of the hypergeometric function and unitary spherical harmonics in ℂⁿ.
The purpose of this paper is to find optimal estimates for the Green function and the Poisson kernel for a half-line and intervals of the geometric stable process with parameter α ∈ (0,2]. This process has an infinitesimal generator of the form . As an application we prove the global scale invariant Harnack inequality as well as the boundary Harnack principle.
Expected suprema of a function f observed along the paths of a nice Markov process define an excessive function, and in fact a potential if f vanishes at the boundary. Conversely, we show under mild regularity conditions that any potential admits a representation in terms of expected suprema. Moreover, we identify the maximal and the minimal representing function in terms of probabilistic potential theory. Our results are motivated by the work of El Karoui and Meziou (2006) on the max-plus decomposition...
We develop potential-theoretical methods in the construction of measure-valued branching processes.We complete results of P. J. Fitzsimmons and E. B. Dynkin on the construction, regularity and other properties of the superprocess associated with a given right process and a branching mechanism.
Nous montrons que toute probabilité de transition sur un espace mesurable correspondant à une chaîne de Markov vérifiant la condition de récurrence de Harris, admet au moins un opérateur potentiel positif ; à partir de là, nous développons une théorie du “potentiel logarithmique” pour ces probabilités de transition, en étudiant notamment de manière approfondie un cône de fonctions dites spéciales.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 60J45, 60J50, 35Cxx; Secondary 31Cxx.We give a probabilistic formula for the solution of a non-homogeneous Neumann problem for a symmetric nondegenerate operator of second order in a bounded domain. We begin with a g-Hölder matrix and a C^1,g domain, g > 0, and then consider extensions. The solutions are expressed as a double layer potential instead of a single layer potential; in particular a new boundary function is discovered and boundary random...
