Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

A stochastic heat equation on $[0,T]\times B$, where B is a bounded domain, is considered. The equation is driven by a general stochastic measure, for which only σ-additivity in probability is assumed. The existence, uniqueness and Hölder regularity of the solution are proved.

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.

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.

A stochastic parabolic equation on $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}$ driven by a general stochastic measure, for which we assume only σ-additivity in probability, is considered. The asymptotic behavior of its solution as $t\to \infty $ is studied.

A stochastic parabolic equation on $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}$ driven by a general stochastic measure is considered. The averaging principle for the equation is established. The convergence rate is compared with other results on related topics.

Metatimes constitute an extension of time-change to general measurable spaces, defined as mappings between two σ-algebras. Equipping the image σ-algebra of a metatime with a measure and defining the composition measure given by the metatime on the domain σ-algebra, we identify metatimes with bounded linear operators between spaces of square integrable functions. We also analyse the possibility to define a metatime from a given bounded linear operator between Hilbert spaces, which we show is possible for invertible operators. Next we establish a link between orthogonal random measures and cylindrical random variables following a classical construction. This enables us to view metatime-changed orthogonal random measures as cylindrical random variables composed with linear operators, where the linear operators are induced by metatimes. In the paper we also provide several results on the basic properties of metatimes as well as some applications towards trawl processes.

We consider the cable equation in the mild form driven by a general stochastic measure. The averaging principle for the equation is established. The rate of convergence is estimated. The regularity of the mild solution is also studied. The orders in time and space variables in the Holder condition for the solution are improved in comparison with previous results in the literature on this topic.

A one-dimensional stochastic wave equation driven by a general stochastic measure is studied in this paper. The Fourier series expansion of stochastic measures is considered. It is proved that changing the integrator by the corresponding partial sums or by Fejèr sums we obtain the approximations of mild solution of the equation.

We study random independent and identically distributed iterations of functions from an iterated function system of homeomorphisms on the circle which is minimal. We show how such systems can be analyzed in terms of iterated function systems with probabilities which are non-expansive on average.

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.
