Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

The class of one-dimensional equations driven by a stochastic measure μ is studied. For μ only σ-additivity in probability is assumed. This class of equations includes the Burgers equation and the heat equation. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved, and the averaging principle for the equation is studied.

This paper investigates sample paths properties of φ-sub-Gaussian processes by means of entropy methods. Basing on a particular entropy integral, we treat the questions on continuity and the rate of growth of sample paths. The obtained results are then used to investigate the sample paths properties for a particular class of φ-sub-Gaussian processes related to the random heat equation. We derive the estimates for the distribution of suprema of such processes and evaluate their rate of growth.

We define power variation estimators for the drift parameter of the stochastic heat equation with the fractional Laplacian and an additive Gaussian noise which is white in time and white or correlated in space. We prove that these estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal and we derive their rate of convergence under the Wasserstein metric.

A stochastic heat equation on $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}$ driven by a general stochastic measure $d\mu (t)$ is investigated in this paper. For the integrator μ, we assume the σ-additivity in probability only. The existence, uniqueness, and Hölder regularity of the solution are proved.
