Quand est-ce que des bornes de Hardy permettent de calculer une constante de Poincaré exacte sur la droite ?

Laurent Miclo (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Classically, Hardy’s inequality enables to estimate the spectral gap of a one-dimensional diffusion up to a factor belonging to [ 1 , 4 ] . The goal of this paper is to better understand the latter factor, at least in a symmetric setting. In particular, we will give an asymptotical criterion implying that its value is exactly 4. The underlying argument is based on a semi-explicit functional for the spectral gap, which is monotone in some rearrangement of the data. To find it will resort to some regularity...

Quantum Itô B*-algebras, their classification and decomposition

V. Belavkin (1998)

Banach Center Publications

A simple axiomatic characterization of the general (infinite dimensional, noncommutative) Itô algebra is given and a pseudo-Euclidean fundamental representation for such algebra is described. The notion of Itô B*-algebra, generalizing the C*-algebra, is defined to include the Banach infinite dimensional Itô algebras of quantum Brownian and quantum Lévy motion, and the B*-algebras of vacuum and thermal quantum noise are characterized. It is proved that every Itô algebra is canonically decomposed...

Quasi-compactness and mean ergodicity for Markov kernels acting on weighted supremum normed spaces

Loïc Hervé (2008)

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

Let P be a Markov kernel on a measurable space E with countably generated σ-algebra, let w:E→[1, +∞[ such that Pw≤Cw with C≥0, and let w be the space of measurable functions onE satisfying ‖f‖w=sup{w(x)−1|f(x)|, x∈E}<+∞. We prove that Pis quasi-compact on ( w , · w ) if and only if, for all f w , ( 1 n k = 1 n P k f ) n contains a subsequence converging in w toΠf=∑di=1μi(f)vi, where the vi’s are non-negative bounded measurable functions on E and the μi’s are probability distributions on E. In particular, when the space of...

Quasi-Likelihood Estimation for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Diffusion Observed at Random Time Points

Adès, Michel, Dion, Jean-Pierre, MacGibbon, Brenda (2005)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60J60, 62M99.In this paper, we study the quasi-likelihood estimator of the drift parameter θ in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion process, when the process is observed at random time points, which are assumed to be unobservable. These time points are arrival times of a Poisson process with known rate. The asymptotic properties of the quasi-likelihood estimator (QLE) of θ, as well as those of its approximations are also elucidated. An extensive simulation study...
