We solve two stochastic control problems in which a player tries to minimize or maximize the exit time from an interval of a Brownian particle, by controlling its drift. The player can change from one drift to another but is subject to a switching cost. In ...
We present the Walsh theory of stochastic integrals with respect to martingale measures, and various extensions of this theory, alongside of the Da Prato and Zabczyk theory of stochastic integrals with respect to Hilbert-space-valued Wiener processes, and ...
We study the nonlinear stochastic heat equation in the spatial domain R, driven by space-time white noise. A central special case is the parabolic Anderson model. The initial condition is taken to be a measure on R, such as the Dirac delta function, but th ...
We derive a decoupling formula for the Brownian sheet which has the following ready consequence: An N-parameter Brownian sheet in R-d has double points if and only if d < 4N. In particular, in the critical case where d = 4N, the Brownian sheet does not hav ...
In a sailboat race, the navigator's attempts to plot the fastest possible course are hindered by shifty winds. We present mathematical models appropriate for this situation, which use statistical analysis of wind fluctuations and are amenable to stochastic ...
In the classical quickest detection problem, one must detect as quickly as possible when a Brownian motion without drift "changes" into a Brownian motion with positive drift. The change occurs at an unknown "disorder" time with exponential distribution. Th ...
It is well known that an N-parameter d-dimensional Brownian sheet has no k-multiple points when (k - 1)d > 2kN, and does have such points when (k - 1)d < 2kN. We complete the study of the existence of k-multiple points by showing that in the critical cases ...
We consider the stochastic wave equation on the real line driven by space time white noise and with irregular initial data. We give bounds on higher moments and, for the hyperbolic Anderson model, explicit formulas for second moments. These bounds imply we ...
We develop several results on hitting probabilities of random fields which highlight the role of the dimension of the parameter space. This yields upper and lower bounds in terms of Hausdorff measure and Bessel-Riesz capacity, respectively. We apply these ...
