Diffusions with a nonlinear irregular drift coefficient and probabilistic interpretation of generalized Burgers' equations

Benjamin Jourdain (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We prove existence and uniqueness for two classes of martingale problems involving a nonlinear but bounded drift coefficient. In the first class, this coefficient depends on the time t, the position x and the marginal of the solution at time t. In the second, it depends on t, x and p(t,x), the density of the time marginal w.r.t. Lebesgue measure. As far as the dependence on t and x is concerned, no continuity assumption is made. The results, first proved for the identity diffusion matrix,...

Diffusions with measurement errors. I. Local asymptotic normality

Arnaud Gloter, Jean Jacod (2001)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider a diffusion process X which is observed at times i / n for i = 0 , 1 , ... , n , each observation being subject to a measurement error. All errors are independent and centered gaussian with known variance ρ n . There is an unknown parameter within the diffusion coefficient, to be estimated. In this first paper the case when X is indeed a gaussian martingale is examined: we can prove that the LAN property holds under quite weak smoothness assumptions, with an explicit limiting Fisher information. What is perhaps...

Diffusions with measurement errors. I. Local Asymptotic Normality

Arnaud Gloter, Jean Jacod (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider a diffusion process X which is observed at times i/n for i = 0,1,...,n, each observation being subject to a measurement error. All errors are independent and centered Gaussian with known variance pn. There is an unknown parameter within the diffusion coefficient, to be estimated.

Diffusions with measurement errors. II. Optimal estimators

Arnaud Gloter, Jean Jacod (2001)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider a diffusion process X which is observed at times i / n for i = 0 , 1 , ... , n , each observation being subject to a measurement error. All errors are independent and centered gaussian with known variance ρ n . There is an unknown parameter to estimate within the diffusion coefficient. In this second paper we construct estimators which are asymptotically optimal when the process X is a gaussian martingale, and we conjecture that they are also optimal in the general case.

Directed forests with application to algorithms related to Markov chains

Piotr Pokarowski (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper is devoted to computational problems related to Markov chains (MC) on a finite state space. We present formulas and bounds for characteristics of MCs using directed forest expansions given by the Matrix Tree Theorem. These results are applied to analysis of direct methods for solving systems of linear equations, aggregation algorithms for nearly completely decomposable MCs and the Markov chain Monte Carlo procedures.

Dirichlet forms on quotients of shift spaces

Manfred Denker, Atsushi Imai, Susanne Koch (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We define thin equivalence relations ∼ on shift spaces and derive Dirichlet forms on the quotient space Σ = / in terms of the nearest neighbour averaging operator. We identify the associated Laplace operator. The conditions are applied to some non-self-similar extensions of the Sierpiński gasket.
