Shape transition under excess self-intersections for transient random walk

Amine Asselah (2010)

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

We reveal a shape transition for a transient simple random walk forced to realize an excess q-norm of the local times, as the parameter q crosses the value qc(d)=d/(d−2). Also, as an application of our approach, we establish a central limit theorem for the q-norm of the local times in dimension 4 or more.

Sharp estimates of the Green function of hyperbolic Brownian motion

Kamil Bogus, Tomasz Byczkowski, Jacek Małecki (2015)

Studia Mathematica

The main objective of the work is to provide sharp two-sided estimates of the λ-Green function, λ ≥ 0, of the hyperbolic Brownian motion of a half-space. We rely on the recent results obtained by K. Bogus and J. Małecki (2015), regarding precise estimates of the Bessel heat kernel for half-lines. We also substantially use the results of H. Matsumoto and M. Yor (2005) on distributions of exponential functionals of Brownian motion.

Shrinkage strategies in some multiple multi-factor dynamical systems

Sévérien Nkurunziza (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we are interested in estimation problem for the drift parameters matrices of m independent multivariate diffusion processes. More specifically, we consider the case where the m-parameters matrices are supposed to satisfy some uncertain constraints. Given such an uncertainty, we develop shrinkage estimators which improve over the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Under an asymptotic distributional quadratic risk criterion, we study the relative dominance of the...

Simulation and approximation of Lévy-driven stochastic differential equations

Nicolas Fournier (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider the approximate Euler scheme for Lévy-driven stochastic differential equations. We study the rate of convergence in law of the paths. We show that when approximating the small jumps by Gaussian variables, the convergence is much faster than when simply neglecting them. For example, when the Lévy measure of the driving process behaves like |z|−1−αdz near 0, for some α ∈ (1,2), we obtain an error of order 1/√n with a computational cost of order nα. For a similar error when neglecting the...
