摘要：Let S be a compact metric space, let theta greater-than-or-equal-to 0, and let nu0 be a Borel probability measure on S. An explicit formula is found for the transition function of the Fleming-Viot process with type space S and mutation operator (Af)(x) = (1/2)theta integral(S)(f(xi) - f(x))nu0(dxi).

摘要：A Cameron-Martin-Girsanov-Maruyama type formula for symmetric diffusions on infinite dimensional state space is proved. In particular, relaxations of the usual assumptions which still imply absolute continuity (but possibly no longer equivalence) of the path space measures are discussed. In addition a converse result is proved, that is, we show that absolute continuity of the path space measures enables us to identify the underlying Dirichlet form.

摘要：Let f be a square-integrable function on the unit square. Assume that the singular numbers (a(i))i is-an-element-of N of the Hilbert-Schmidt operator associated with f admit some 0 < alpha < 1/3 such that SIGMA(i = 1)infinity \alpha(i)\alpha < infinity. We present a purely stochastic method to investigate the occupation densities of the Skorohod integral process U induced by f. It allows us to show that U possesses continuous square-integrable occupation densities and obviously generalizes bey...

摘要：If L generates a transient diffusion, then the corresponding exterior Dirichlet problem (EP) has in general many bounded solutions. We consider perturbations of L by a first-order term and assume that EP can be solved uniquely for each perturbed operator. Then as the perturbation tends to 0, the sequence of perturbed solutions may converge to a solution of the original EP. Using a skew-product representation of diffusions, we give an integral criterion for the uniqueness of this limit and show...

摘要：We consider the problem of when the bootstrap sample mean, appropriately normalized and centered, converges in distribution along almost every sample path. We allow the normalizing sequence to be an arbitrary sequence of positive random variables. It is proved that the only possible normalizing sequence is essentially (SIGMA(i=1)n X(i)2)1/2. Furthermore, if the bootstrap sample mean converges along almost every sample path, then either the variance is finite or else the distribution of X is ex...

摘要：Let (X(i))i is-an-element-of Z(+)d be an array of zero-mean independent identically distributed random vectors with values in R(k) with finite variance, and let J be a class of Borel subsets of [0, 1]d. If, for the usual metric, J is totally bounded and has a convergent entropy integral, we obtain a strong invariance principle for an appropriately smoothed version of the partial-sum process {SIGMA(i is-an-element-of nu S)X(i): S is-an-element-of J} with an error term depending only on J and on...

摘要：In this paper, we shall develop certain inequalities to bound the difference between distributions in terms of their Stieltjes transforms. Using these inequalities, convergence rates of expected spectral distributions of large dimensional Wigner and sample covariance matrices are established. The paper is organized into two parts. This is the first part, which is devoted to establishing the basic inequalities and a convergence rate for Wigner matrices.

摘要：Let (X(k))k is-an-element-of N be a nonstationary sequence of random variables. Sufficient conditions are found for the existence of an independent sequence (X(k)}k is-an-element-of N such that sup(x is-an-element-of R)\P(M(n) less-than-or-equal-to x)\ - P(M(n) less-than-or-equal-to x)\ --> 0 as n --> infinity, where M(n) and M(n) are nth partial maxima for (X(k)) and {X(k)}, respectively.

摘要：Let (X, B) be a compact metric space with B the sigma-field of Borel sets. Suppose this is the state space of a discrete parameter Markov process. Let C be a closed convex set of probability measures on X. Known results on the asymptotic behavior of the probability that the empirical distributions P(n) belong to C and new results on the Markov process distribution of omega0,..., omega(n-1) under the condition P(n) is-an-element-of C are obtained simultaneously through a large deviations estima...

摘要：Let X be a semimartingale, and S its Snell envelope. Under the assumption that X and S are continuous semimartingales in H-1, this article obtains a new, maximal, characterisation of S, and gives an application to the optimal stopping of functions of diffusions. We present a counterexample to the standard assertion that S is just ''a martingale on the go-region and X on the stop-region.''
