摘要：The objective of this paper is to present two theorems which are directly applicable to optimal stopping problems involving independent indicator functions. The proofs are elementary. One implication of the results is a convenient solution algorithm to obtain the optimal stopping rule and the value. We will apply it to several examples of sequences of independent indicators, including sequences of random length. Another interesting implication of the results is that the in well-known asymptoti...

摘要：We consider interacting particle systems on Z which allow five types of pairwise interaction: Annihilation, Birth, Coalescence, Death and Exclusion with corresponding rates a, b, c, d, e. We show that whatever the values of a, c, d, e, if the birthrate is high enough there is a positive probability the particle system will survive starting from airy finite occupied set. In particular: an IFS with rates a, b, c, d, e has a positive probability of survival if b > 4d + 6a, c + a greater than or e...

摘要：Let F(x, r) denote the total occupation measure of the ball of radius r centered at x for Brownian motion in R-3. We prove that sup(\x\less than or equal to 1) F(x, r)/(r(2) \log r\) --> 16/pi(2) a.s. as r --> 0, thus solving a problem posed by Taylor in 1974. Furthermore, for any a epsilon (0, 16/pi(2)), the Hausdorff dimension of the set of thick points x for which lim sup(r-->0) F(x, r)/(r(2)\log r\) = a is almost surely 2 - a pi(2)/8; this is the correct scaling to obtain a nondegenerate m...

摘要：We prove concentration inequalities for some classes of Markov chains and Phi-mixing processes, with constants independent of the size of the sample, that extend the inequalities for product measures of Talagrand. The method is based on information inequalities put forward by Marton in case of contracting Markov chains. Using a simple duality argument on entropy, our results also include the family of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for convex functions. Applications to bounds on supremum of ...

摘要：Consider the stochastic partial differential equation u(t) = u(xx) + u(gamma)(W)over dot, where x epsilon I equivalent to [0, J], (W)over dot = (W)over dot(t, x) is 2-parameter white noise, and we assume that the initial function u(0, x) is nonnegative and not identically 0. We impose Dirichlet boundary conditions on u in the interval I. We say that u blows up in finite time, with positive probability, if there is a random time T < infinity such that P(lim(t up arrowT) sup(x) u( t, x) = infini...

摘要：We prove a central limit theorem for strongly mixing sequences under a sharp sufficient condition which combines the rate of the strong mixing coefficient with the quantile function. The result improves on all earlier central limit theorems for this type of dependence and answers a conjecture raised by Bradley in 1997. Moreover, we derive the corresponding functional central limit theorem.

摘要：A functional law of the iterated logarithm is obtained for symmetric stable processes with stationary independent increments. This extends the classical liminf results of Chung for Brownian motion, and of Taylor for such remaining processes. It also extends an earlier result of Wichura on Brownian motion. Proofs depend on small ball probability estimates and yield the small ball probabilities of the weighted sup-norm for these processes.

摘要：We show that a sequence of voter models, suitably rescaled in space and time, converges weakly to super-Brownian motion. The result includes both nearest neighbor and longer range voter models and complements a limit theorem of Mueller and Tribe in one dimension.

摘要：where b is smooth except possibly along the hyperplane x(1) = 0, we shall consider the large deviation principle for the law of the solution diffusion process and its occupation time as epsilon --> 0. In other words, we consider P(\\X-epsilon - phi\\ < delta, \\u(epsilon) - psi\\ < delta) where u(epsilon)(t) and psi(t) are the occupation times of XE and cp in the positive half space {x epsilon R-d: x(1) > 0}, respectively. As a consequence, an unified approach of the lower level large deviatio...

摘要：The distribution of the integral of the absolute value of the Brownian bridge was expressed by Cifarelli and independently by Johnson and Killeen in the form of a series. Rice obtained the corresponding probability density by numerical integration. Here we determine the exact tail asymptotics of this distribution, as well as the exact asymptotics of its density function for the large values of the argument.
