Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

The stochastic process of the form is considered, where W is a standard Wiener process, $\alpha >-\frac{1}{2}$, $\gamma >-1$, and $\alpha +\beta +\gamma >-\frac{3}{2}$. It is proved that the process X is well-defined and continuous. The asymptotic properties of the variances and bounds for the variances of the increments of the process X are studied. It is also proved that the process X satisfies the single-point Hölder condition up to order $\alpha +\beta +\gamma +\frac{3}{2}$ at point 0, the “interval” Hölder condition up to order $\min \big(\gamma +\frac{3}{2},\hspace{0.2222em}1\big)$ on the interval $[{t_{0}},T]$ (where $0<{t_{0}}<T$), and the Hölder condition up to order $\min \big(\alpha +\beta +\gamma +\frac{3}{2},\hspace{0.2778em}\gamma +\frac{3}{2},\hspace{0.2778em}1\big)$ on the entire interval $[0,T]$.

This paper deals with linear stochastic partial differential equations with variable coefficients driven by Lévy white noise. First, an existence theorem for integral transforms of Lévy white noise is derived and the existence of generalized and mild solutions of second order elliptic partial differential equations is proved. Further, the generalized electric Schrödinger operator for different potential functions V is discussed.

We introduce a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) with elliptic operator in divergence form, with measurable and bounded coefficients and driven by space-time white noise. Such SPDEs could be used in mathematical modelling of diffusion phenomena in medium consisting of different kinds of materials and undergoing stochastic perturbations. We characterize the solution and, using the Stein–Malliavin calculus, we prove that the sequence of its recentered and renormalized spatial quadratic variations satisfies an almost sure central limit theorem. Particular focus is given to the interesting case where the coefficients of the operator are piecewise constant.

A moderate deviations principle for the law of a stochastic Burgers equation is proved via the weak convergence approach. In addition, some useful estimates toward a central limit theorem are established.

The main object of this paper is the planar wave equation with random source f. The latter is, in certain sense, a symmetric α-stable spatial white noise multiplied by some regular function σ. We define a candidate solution U to the equation via Poisson’s formula and prove that the corresponding expression is well defined at each point almost surely, although the exceptional set may depend on the particular point $(x,t)$. We further show that U is Hölder continuous in time but with probability 1 is unbounded in any neighborhood of each point where σ does not vanish. Finally, we prove that U is a generalized solution to the equation.
