The stochastic transport equation is considered where the randomness is given by a symmetric integral with respect to a stochastic measure. For a stochastic measure, only σ-additivity in probability and continuity of paths is assumed. Existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the equation are proved.
The paper is devoted to a stochastic heat equation with a mixed fractional Brownian noise. We investigate the covariance structure, stationarity, upper bounds and asymptotic behavior of the solution. Based on its discrete-time observations, we construct a strongly consistent estimator for the Hurst index H and prove the asymptotic normality for $H < 3/4$. Then assuming the parameter H to be known, we deal with joint estimation of the coefficients at the Wiener process and at the fractional Brownian motion. The quality of estimators is illustrated by simulation experiments.
A new modified Φ-Sobolev inequality for canonical ${L^{2}}$-Lévy processes, which are hybrid cases of the Brownian motion and pure jump-Lévy processes, is developed. Existing results included only a part of the Brownian motion process and pure jump processes. A generalized version of the Φ-Sobolev inequality for the Poisson and Wiener spaces is derived. Furthermore, the theorem can be applied to obtain concentration inequalities for canonical Lévy processes. In contrast to the measure concentration inequalities for the Brownian motion alone or pure jump Lévy processes alone, the measure concentration inequalities for canonical Lévy processes involve Lambert’s W-function. Examples of inequalities are also presented, such as the supremum of Lévy processes in the case of mixed Brownian motion and Poisson processes.
The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fills the gap between a convergence in probability to zero (governed by a large deviation principle) and a weak convergence to a centered normal distribution. In this paper, some examples of classes of large deviation principles of this kind are presented, but the involved random variables converge weakly to Gumbel, exponential and Laplace distributions.
Reflected generalized backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with one discontinuous barrier are investigated when the noise is driven by a Brownian motion and an independent Poisson measure. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are derived when the generators are monotone and the barrier is right-continuous with left limits (rcll). The link is established between this solution and a viscosity solution for an obstacle problem of integral-partial differential equations with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions.
This paper provides a multivariate extension of Bertoin’s pathwise construction of a Lévy process conditioned to stay positive or negative. Thus obtained processes conditioned to stay in half-spaces are closely related to the original process on a compact time interval seen from its directional extremal points. In the case of a correlated Brownian motion the law of the conditioned process is obtained by a linear transformation of a standard Brownian motion and an independent Bessel-3 process. Further motivation is provided by a limit theorem corresponding to zooming in on a Lévy process with a Brownian part at the point of its directional infimum. Applications to zooming in at the point furthest from the origin are envisaged.
We consider a sequence of fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes, that are defined as solutions of a family of stochastic Volterra equations with a kernel given by the Riesz derivative kernel, and leading coefficients given by a sequence of independent Gamma random variables. We construct a new process by taking the empirical mean of this sequence. In our framework, the processes involved are not Markovian, hence the analysis of their asymptotic behaviour requires some ad hoc construction. In our main result, we prove the almost sure convergence in the space of trajectories of the empirical means to a given Gaussian process, which we characterize completely.
