It is shown that value functions for controlled degenerate diffusion processes can be approximated with error of order $h^{1/3}$ by using policies which are constant on intervals $[kh^{2},(k+1)h^{2})$.

Genetic models incorporating resampling and migration are now fairly well-understood. Problems arise in the analysis, if both selection and mutation are incorporated. This paper addresses some aspects of this problem, in particular the analysis of the long-time behaviour before the…

In this paper we investigate stopped partial sums for weak dependent sequences. In particular, the results are used to obtain new maximal inequalities for strongly mixing sequences and related almost sure results.

We establish a large deviations type evaluation for the family of integral functionals.

The lattice gas model in equilibrium is considered. We give a lower bound of the density-density time correlation for large time, which involves the bulk diffusion matrix in a physically natural way.

The law of a random tree constructed within a Brownian excursion is calculated conditional on knowing the occupation measure of the excursion. In previous work David Aldous has used random walk approximations to obtain this result. Here it is deduced…

We construct a Brownian path conditioned on its minimum value over a fixed time interval by a simple transformation of a Brownian bridge.

We study a class of Borel probability measures, called correlation measures. Our results are of two types: first, we give explicit constructions of non-trivial correlation measures; second, we examine some of the properties of the set of correlation measures. In…

In this note, we study the Gaussian fluctuations of the edge occupation measure for a reversible Markov chain and give a nice description of the covariance matrix. Then we give some large deviations results concerning this occupation measure.

Let $G$ be a finite group. Choose a set $S$ of size $k$ uniformly from $G$ and consider a lazy random walk on the corresponding Cayley graph. We show that for almost all choices of $S$ given $k = 2a\,…
