Parameter estimation and singularity of laws on the path space for SDEs driven by Rosenblatt processes

In this paper, we study parameter identification for solutions to (possibly non-linear) SDEs driven by additive Rosenblatt process and singularity of the induced laws on the path space. We propose a joint estimator for the drift parameter, diffusion intensity, and Hurst index that can be computed from discrete-time observations with a bounded time horizon and we prove its strong consistency (as well as the speed of convergence) under in-fill asymptotics with a fixed time horizon. As a consequence of this strong consistency, singularity of measures generated by the solutions with different drifts is shown. This results in the invalidity of a Girsanov-type theorem for Rosenblatt processes.

$L^p$-valued stochastic convolution integral driven by Volterra noise

Space-time regularity of linear stochastic partial differential equations is studied. The solution is defined in the mild sense in the state space $L^p$. The corresponding regularity is obtained by showing that the stochastic convolution integrals are Hölder continuous in a suitable function space. In particular cases, this allows to show space-time Hölder continuity of the solution. The main tool used is a hypercontractivity result on Banach-space valued random variables in a finite Wiener chaos.

Stochastic integration with respect to fractional processes in Banach spaces

In the article, integration of temporal functions in (possibly non-UMD) Banach spaces with respect to (possibly non-Gaussian) fractional processes from a finite sum of Wiener chaoses is treated. The family of fractional processes that is considered includes, for example, fractional Brownian motions of any Hurst parameter or, more generally, fractionally filtered generalized Hermite processes. The class of Banach spaces that is considered includes a large variety of the most commonly used function spaces such as the Lebesgue spaces, Sobolev spaces, or, more generally, the Besov and Lizorkin-Triebel spaces. In the article, a characterization of the domains of the Wiener integrals on both bounded and unbounded intervals is given for both scalar and cylindrical fractional processes. In general, the integrand takes values in the space of $γ$-radonifying operators from a certain homogeneous Sobolev-Slobodeckii space into the considered Banach space. Moreover, an equivalent characterization in terms of a pointwise kernel of the integrand is also given if the considered Banach space is isomorphic with a subspace of a cartesian product of mixed Lebesgue spaces. The results are subsequently applied to stochastic convolution for which both necessary and sufficient conditions for measurability and sufficient conditions for continuity are found. As an application, space-time continuity of the solution to a parabolic equation of order $2m$ with distributed noise of low time regularity is shown as well as measurability of the solution to the heat equation with Neumann boundary noise of higher regularity.

Filtering of Gaussian processes in Hilbert spaces

Linear filtering problem for infinite-dimensional Gaussian processes is studied, the observation process being finite-dimensional. Integral equations for the filter and for covariance of the error are derived. General results are applied to linear SPDEs driven by Gauss-Volterra process observed at finitely many points of the domain.

Central Limit Theorems and Minimum-Contrast Estimators for Linear Stochastic Evolution Equations

Central limit theorems and asymptotic properties of the minimum-contrast estimators of the drift parameter in linear stochastic evolution equations driven by fractional Brownian motion are studied. Both singular ($H < \frac{1}{2})$ and regular ($H > \frac{1}{2})$ types of fractional Brownian motion are considered. Strong consistency is achieved by ergodicity of the stationary solution. The fundamental tool for the limit theorems and asymptotic normality (shown for Hurst parameter $H < \frac{3}{4}$) is the so-called $4^{th}$ moment theorem considered on the second Wiener chaos. This technique provides also the Berry-Esseen-type bounds for the speed of the convergence. The general results are illustrated for parabolic equations with distributed and pointwise fractional noises.

Stochastic affine evolution equations with multiplicative fractional noise

A stochastic affine evolution equation with bilinear noise term is studied where the driving process is a real-valued fractional Brownian motion. Stochastic integration is understood in the Skorokhod sense. Existence and uniqueness of weak solution is proved and some results on the large time dynamics are obtained

Stationary solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes system driven by stochastic forces

We study the long-time behavior of solutions to a stochastically driven Navier-Stokes system describing the motion of a compressible viscous fluid driven by a temporal multiplicative white noise perturbation. The existence of stationary solutions is established in the framework of Lebesgue--Sobolev spaces pertinent to the class of weak martingale solutions. The methods are based on new global-in-time estimates and a combination of deterministic and stochastic compactness arguments. In contrast with the deterministic case, where related results were obtained only under rather restrictive constitutive assumptions for the pressure, the stochastic case is tractable in the full range of constitutive relations allowed by the available existence theory. This can be seen as a kind of regularizing effect of the noise on the global-in-time solutions.

Sufficient Stochastic Maximum Principle for Discounted Control Problem

In this article, the sufficient Pontryagin's maximum principle for infinite horizon discounted stochastic control problem is established. The sufficiency is ensured by an additional assumption of concavity of the Hamiltonian function. Throughout the paper, it is assumed that the control domain U is a convex set and the control may enter the diffusion term of the state equation. The general results are applied to the controlled stochastic logistic equation of population dynamics.

Compressible fluid flows driven by stochastic forcing

We consider the Navier-Stokes system describing the motion of a compressible barotropic fluid driven by stochastic external forces. Our approach is semi-deterministic, based on solving the system for each fixed representative of the random variable and applying an abstract result on measurability of multi-valued maps. The class of admissible driving forces includes the (temporal) white noise and the random kicks, considered recently in the context of incompressible fluid models.

Equivalence of laws and null controllability for SPDEs driven by a fractional Brownian motion

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for equivalence of law for linear stochastic evolution equations driven by a general Gaussian noise by identifying the suitable space of controls for the corresponding deterministic control problem. This result is applied to semilinear (reaction-diffusion) equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion. We establish the equivalence of continuous dependence of laws of solutions to semilinear equations on the initial datum in the topology of pointwise convergence of measures and null controllability for the corresponding deterministic control problem.

The Ornstein Uhlenbeck Bridge and Applications to Markov Semigroups

For an arbitrary Hilbert space-valued Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process we construct the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Bridge connecting a starting point $x$ and an endpoint $y$ that belongs to a certain linear subspace of full measure. We derive also a stochastic evolution equation satisfied by the OU Bridge and study its basic properties. The OU Bridge is then used to investigate the Markov transition semigroup associated to a nonlinear stochastic evolution equation with additive noise. We provide an explicit formula for the transition density and study its regularity. Given the Strong Feller property and the existence of an invariant measure we show that the transition semigroup maps $L^p$ functions into continuous functions. We also show that transition operators are $q$-summing for some $q>p>1$, in particular of Hilbert-Schmidt type.

Uniform exponential ergodicity of stochastic dissipative systems

We study ergodic properties of stochastic dissipative systems with additive noise. We show that the system is uniformly exponentially ergodic provided the growth of nonlinearity at infinity is faster than linear. The abstract result is applied to the stochastic reaction diffusion equation in $\mathbb R^d$ with $d\le 3$.
