摘要：We introduce a new kind of percolation on finite graphs called jigsaw percolation. This model attempts to capture networks of people who innovate by merging ideas and who solve problems by piecing together solutions. Each person in a social network has a unique piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Acquainted people with compatible puzzle pieces merge their puzzle pieces. More generally, groups of people with merged puzzle pieces merge if the groups know one another and have a pair of compatible puzzle pi...

摘要：We propose a new probabilistic numerical scheme for fully nonlinear equation of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) type associated to stochastic control problem, which is based on the Feynman Kac representation in [Kharroubi and Pham (2014)] by means of control randomization and backward stochastic differential equation with nonpositive jumps. We study a discrete time approximation for the minimal solution to this class of BSDE when the time step goes to zero, which provides both an approximation f...

摘要：We consider Brownian motions with one-sided collisions, meaning that each particle is reflected at its right neighbour. For a finite number of particles a SchUtz-type formula is derived for the transition probability. We investigate an infinite system with periodic initial configuration, that is, particles are located at the integer lattice at time zero. The joint distribution of the positions of a finite subset of particles is expressed as a Fredholm determinant with a kernel defining a signe...

摘要：We investigate the maximal domain of the moment generating function of affine processes in the sense of Duffle, Filipovie and Schachermayer [Ann. AppL Probab. 13 (2003) 984-1053], and we show the validity of the affine transform formula that connects exponential moments with the solution of a generalized Riccati differential equation. Our result extends and unifies those preceding it (e.g., Glasserman and Kim [Math. Finance 20 (2010) 1-33], Filipovie and Mayerhofer [Radon Ser. Comput. Appl. Ma...

摘要：We consider Bernoulli bond percolation on a large scale-free tree in the supercritical regime, meaning informally that there exists a giant cluster with high probability. We obtain a weak limit theorem for the sizes of the next largest clusters, extending a recent result in Bertoin [Random Structures Algorithms 44 (2014) 29-44] for large random recursive trees. The approach relies on the analysis of the asymptotic behavior of branching processes subject to rare neutral mutations, which may be ...

摘要：This paper studies rescaled images, under exp(mu)(-1) of the sample Frechet means of i.i.d. random variables {X-k vertical bar k >= 1} with Frechet mean mu on a Riemannian manifold. We show that, with appropriate scaling, these images converge weakly to a diffusion process. Similar to the Euclidean case, this limiting diffusion is a Brownian motion up to a linear transformation. However, in addition to the covariance structure of exp(mu)(-1) (X-1), this linear transformation also depends on th...

摘要：We consider a nondominated model of a discrete-time financial market where stocks are traded dynamically, and options are available for static hedging. In a general measure-theoretic setting, we show that absence of arbitrage in a quasi-sure sense is equivalent to the existence of a suitable family of martingale measures. In the arbitrage-free case, we show that optimal superhedging strategies exist for general contingent claims, and that the minimal superhedging price is given by the supremum...

摘要：We consider the 3D spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for (true) hard and moderately soft potentials. We assume that the initial condition is a probability measure with finite energy and is not a Dirac mass. For hard potentials, we prove that any reasonable weak solution immediately belongs to some Besov space. For moderately soft potentials, we assume additionally that the initial condition has a moment of sufficiently high order (8 is enough) and prove the existence of a solution that ...
