Given a standard Brownian motion $B$, we show that the equation $$ X_t = x_0 + B_t + \beta(L_t^X), t \geq 0,$$ has a unique strong solution $X$. Here $L^X$ is the symmetric local time of $X$ at $0$, and…

Let $B(t)$ denote Brownian motion in $R^d$. It is a classical fact that for any Borel set $A$ in $R^d$, the volume $V_1(A)$ of the Wiener sausage $B[0,1]+A$ has nonzero expectation iff $A$ is nonpolar. We show that for any…

In this article we consider the sample covariance matrix formed from a sequence of independent and identically distributed random vectors from the generalized domain of attraction of the multivariate normal law. We show that this sample covariance matrix, appropriately normalized…

We provide a simple probabilistic proof of a result of J. Král and I. Netuka: If  $f$ is a measurable real-valued function on $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d > 1$) then the set of points at which  $f$ has a strict fine local…

The weak limit of the normalized number of comparisons needed by the Quicksort algorithm to sort n randomly permuted items is known to be determined implicitly by a distributional fixed-point equation. We give an algorithm for perfect random variate generation…

We derive concentration inequalities for functions of the empirical measure of eigenvalues for large, random, self adjoint matrices, with not necessarily Gaussian entries. The results presented apply in particular to non-Gaussian Wigner and Wishart matrices. We also provide concentration bounds…

The purpose of this note is to give a support theorem in the Skorohod space for a one-dimensional Marcus differential equation driven by a Lévy process, without any assumption on the latter. We also give a criterion ensuring that the…

This paper is devoted to the proof of Donsker's theorem for backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short). The main objective is to give a simple method to discretize in time a BSDE. Our approach is based upon the notion…

Equivalent upper and lower bounds for the $L^1$ norm of Hilbert space valued infinitely divisible random variables are obtained and used to find bounds for different types of stochastic integrals.

We consider ballistic diffusion limited aggregation on a finite strip $[0, L-1]$ times $\mathbb{Z}_+$ in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ for some $L$ in $\mathbb{Z}_+$. We provide numerical bounds on the growth in the height process.
