From a kinetic equation to a diffusion under an anomalous scaling

Giada Basile (2014)

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

A linear Boltzmann equation is interpreted as the forward equation for the probability density of a Markov process ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) , Y ( t ) ) on ( 𝕋 2 × { 1 , 2 } × 2 ) , where 𝕋 2 is the two-dimensional torus. Here ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) ) is an autonomous reversible jump process, with waiting times between two jumps with finite expectation value but infinite variance. Y ( t ) is an additive functional of K , defined as 0 t v ( K ( s ) ) d s , where | v | 1 for small k . We prove that the rescaled process ( N ln N ) - 1 / 2 Y ( N t ) converges in distribution to a two-dimensional Brownian motion. As a consequence, the appropriately...

General approximation method for the distribution of Markov processes conditioned not to be killed

Denis Villemonais (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider a strong Markov process with killing and prove an approximation method for the distribution of the process conditioned not to be killed when it is observed. The method is based on a Fleming−Viot type particle system with rebirths, whose particles evolve as independent copies of the original strong Markov process and jump onto each others instead of being killed. Our only assumption is that the number of rebirths of the Fleming−Viot type system doesn’t explode in finite time almost surely...

Gradient flows of the entropy for jump processes

Matthias Erbar (2014)

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

We introduce a new transport distance between probability measures on d that is built from a Lévy jump kernel. It is defined via a non-local variant of the Benamou–Brenier formula. We study geometric and topological properties of this distance, in particular we prove existence of geodesics. For translation invariant jump kernels we identify the semigroup generated by the associated non-local operator as the gradient flow of the relative entropy w.r.t. the new distance and show that the entropy is...

Heat kernel estimates for the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian

Zhen-Qing Chen, Panki Kim, Renming Song (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the fractional Laplacian - ( - Δ ) α / 2 on an open subset in d with zero exterior condition. We establish sharp two-sided estimates for the heat kernel of such a Dirichlet fractional Laplacian in C 1 , 1 open sets. This heat kernel is also the transition density of a rotationally symmetric α -stable process killed upon leaving a C 1 , 1 open set. Our results are the first sharp twosided estimates for the Dirichlet heat kernel of a non-local operator on open sets.

Heat kernel of fractional Laplacian in cones

Krzysztof Bogdan, Tomasz Grzywny (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give sharp estimates for the transition density of the isotropic stable Lévy process killed when leaving a right circular cone.

Jump processes, ℒ-harmonic functions, continuity estimates and the Feller property

Ryad Husseini, Moritz Kassmann (2009)

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

Given a family of Lévy measures ν={ν(x, ⋅)}x∈ℝd, the present work deals with the regularity of harmonic functions and the Feller property of corresponding jump processes. The main aim is to establish continuity estimates for harmonic functions under weak assumptions on the family ν. Different from previous contributions the method covers cases where lower bounds on the probability of hitting small sets degenerate.

Kac’s chaos and Kac’s program

Stéphane Mischler (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

In this note I present the main results about the quantitative and qualitative propagation of chaos for the Boltzmann-Kac system obtained in collaboration with C. Mouhot in [33] which gives a possible answer to some questions formulated by Kac in [25]. We also present some related recent results about Kac’s chaos and Kac’s program obtained in [34, 23, 13] by K. Carrapatoso, M. Hauray, C. Mouhot, B. Wennberg and myself.
