STOCHASTIC PROCESSES AND CONSTRUCTION OF BROWNIAN MOTION

Christophe-Aschkan Mery

This project offers a rigorous introduction to the tools needed to construct a continuous stochastic process. Among other things, we give a very detailed proof of the Kolmogorov continuity criterion. We then construct a Brownian Motion following the formal ...

The Stationary Behaviour of Fluid Limits of Reversible Processes is Concentrated on Stationary Points

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Assume that a stochastic process can be approximated, when some scale parameter gets large, by a fluid limit (also called mean field limit", or hydrodynamic limit"). A common practice, often called the ``fixed point approximation" consists in approxima ...

Stochastic Control and Free Boundary Problems for Sailboat Trajectory Optimization

Laura Vinckenbosch

The topic of this thesis is the study of several stochastic control problems motivated by sailing races. The goal is to minimize the travel time between two locations, by selecting the fastest route in face of randomly changing weather conditions, such as ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Moment equations for the mixed formulation of the Hodge Laplacian with stochastic data

Fabio Nobile, Annalisa Buffa, Francesca Bonizzoni

We study the mixed formulation of the stochastic Hodge-Laplace problem defined on a n-dimensional domain D (

n \geq 1

), with random forcing term. In particular, we focus on the magnetostatic problem and on the Darcy problem in the three dimensional case. ...

Markov chains with discontinuous drifts have differential inclusion limits

Nicolas Gabriel Gast

In this paper, we study deterministic limits of Markov processes having discontinuous drifts. While most results assume that the limiting dynamics is continuous, we show that these conditions are not necessary to prove convergence to a deterministic system ...

Affine Variance Swap Curve Models

Damir Filipovic

This paper provides a brief overview of the stochastic modeling of variance swap curves. Focus is on affine factor models. We propose a novel drift parametrization which assures that the components of the state process can be matched with any pre-specified ...

Stochastic integrals for spde's: A comparison

Robert Dalang

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 ...

Macroscopic stability for nonfinite range kernels

Thomas Mountford

We extend the strong macroscopic stability introduced in Bramson and Mountford [Ann. Probab. 30 (2002) 1082-1130] for one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion processes with finite range to a large class of one-dimensional conservative attractive models (inclu ...

Fast Adaptive Uniformization for the Chemical Master Equation

Maria-Emanuela-Canini Mateescu, Verena Wolf

Within systems biology there is an increasing interest in the stochastic behavior of biochemical reaction networks. An appropriate stochastic description is provided by the chemical master equation, which represents a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC). S ...
