摘要:Stochastic approximation algorithms have been the subject of an enormous body of literature, both theoretical and applied. Recently, Laruelle and Pages [Ann. Appl. Probab. 23 (2013) 1409-1436] presented a link between the stochastic approximation and response-adaptive designs in clinical trials based on randomized urn models investigated in Bai and Hu [Stochastic Process. Appl. 80 (1999) 87-101; Ann. Appl. Probab. 15 (2005) 914-940], and derived the asymptotic normality or central limit theore...

摘要:We introduce a discretization/approximation scheme for reflected stochastic partial differential equations driven by space time white noise through systems of reflecting stochastic differential equations. To establish the convergence of the scheme, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of Skorohod-type deterministic systems on time-dependent domains. We also need to establish the convergence of an approximation scheme for deterministic parabolic obstacle problems. Both are of inde...

摘要:We describe the asymptotic properties of the edge-triangle exponential random graph model as the natural parameters diverge along straight lines. We show that as we continuously vary the slopes of these lines, a typical graph drawn from this model exhibits quantized behavior, jumping from one complete multipartite graph to another, and the jumps happen precisely at the normal lines of a polyhedral set with infinitely many facets. As a result, we provide a complete description of all asymptotic...

摘要:We consider the following two-player game on a graph. A token is located at a vertex, and the players take turns to move it along an edge to a vertex that has not been visited before. A player who cannot move loses. We analyze outcomes with optimal play on percolation clusters of Euclidean lattices. On Z(2) with two different percolation parameters for odd and even sites, we prove that the game has no draws provided closed sites of one parity are sufficiently rare compared with those of the ot...

摘要:We consider sample covariance matrices of the form Q = (Sigma X-1/2)((EX)-X-1/2)*, where the sample X is an M x N random matrix whose entries are real independent random variables with variance 1/N and where Sigma is an M x M positive-definite deterministic matrix. We analyze the asymptotic fluctuations of the largest resealed eigenvalue of Q when both M and N tend to infinity with N/M -> d is an element of (0, infinity). For a large class of populations Sigma in the sub-critical regime, we sh...

摘要:We consider a system of N disordered mean-field interacting diffusions within spatial constraints: each particle theta(i) is attached to one site x(i) of a periodic lattice and the interaction between particles theta(i) and theta(j) decreases as vertical bar x(i) - x(j)vertical bar(-alpha) for alpha is an element of [0, 1). In a previous work [Ann. Appl. Probab. 24 (2014) 1946-1993], it was shown that the empirical measure of the particles converges in large population to the solution of a non...

摘要:Consider an urn model where at each step one of q colors is sampled according to some probability distribution and a ball of that color is placed in an urn. The distribution of assigning balls to urns may depend on the color of the ball. Collisions occur when a ball is placed in an urn which already contains a ball of different color. Equivalently, this can be viewed as sequentially coloring a complete q-partite graph wherein a collision corresponds to the appearance of a monochromatic edge. U...

摘要:Let W-infinity (beta) be the limit of the Biggins martingale W-n(beta) associated to a supercritical branching random walk with mean number of offspring m. We prove a functional central limit theorem stating that as n -> infinity the process D-n(u) := m(1/2n) (W-infinity(u/root n) - W-n(u/root n)) converges weakly, on a suitable space of analytic functions, to a Gaussian random analytic function with random variance. Using this result, we prove central limit theorems for the total path length ...

摘要:We consider a financial market where stocks are available for dynamic trading, and European and American options are available for static trading (semi-static trading strategies). We assume that the American options are infinitely divisible, and can only be bought but not sold. In the first part of the paper, we work within the framework without model ambiguity. We first get the fundamental theorem of asset pricing (FLAP). Using the FTAP, we get the dualities for the hedging prices of European...

摘要:The goal of this paper is to prove rigorous results for the behavior of genealogies in a one-dimensional long range biased voter model introduced by Hallatschek and Nelson [Thew: Pop. Biol. 73 (2008) 158-170]. The first step, which is easily accomplished using results of Mueller and Tribe [Probab. Theory Related Fields 102 (1995) 519-545], is to show that when space and time are resealed correctly, our biased voter model converges to a Wright-Fisher SPDE. A simple extension of a result of Durr...
