A second order SDE for the Langevin process reflected at a completely inelastic boundary

Jean Bertoin (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

It was shown in [2] that a Langevin process can be reflected at an energy absorbing boundary. Here, we establish that the law of this reflecting process can be characterized as the unique weak solution to a certain second order stochastic differential equation with constraints, which is in sharp contrast with a deterministic analog.

A simple approach to functional inequalities for non-local Dirichlet forms

Jian Wang (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

With direct and simple proofs, we establish Poincaré type inequalities (including Poincaré inequalities, weak Poincaré inequalities and super Poincaré inequalities), entropy inequalities and Beckner-type inequalities for non-local Dirichlet forms. The proofs are efficient for non-local Dirichlet forms with general jump kernel, and also work for Lp(p> 1) settings. Our results yield a new sufficient condition for fractional Poincaré inequalities, which were recently studied in [P.T. Gressman,...

A stability theorem for elliptic Harnack inequalities

Richard F. Bass (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove a stability theorem for the elliptic Harnack inequality: if two weighted graphs are equivalent, then the elliptic Harnack inequality holds for harmonic functions with respect to one of the graphs if and only if it holds for harmonic functions with respect to the other graph. As part of the proof, we give a characterization of the elliptic Harnack inequality.

A stochastic extension of R. Thomas regulatory network modelling

Bartek Wilczyński (2008)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we present the extension of the kinetic logic proposed by René Thomas for analysis of genetic regulatory gene networks. We consider the case with a Gaussian noise added to the regulation function and propose a method of analyzing the resulting model with a discrete time Markov model.

A stochastic fixed point equation for weighted minima and maxima

Gerold Alsmeyer, Uwe Rösler (2008)

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

Given any finite or countable collection of real numbers Tj, j∈J, we find all solutions Fto the stochastic fixed point equation W = d inf j J T j W j , whereW and the Wj, j∈J, are independent real-valued random variables with distribution Fand = d means equality in distribution. The bulk of the necessary analysis is spent on the case when |J|≥2 and all Tj are (strictly) positive. Nontrivial solutions are then concentrated on either the positive or negative half line. In the most interesting (and difficult) situation T...
