In this note we prove an existence and uniqueness result for the solution of multidimensional stochastic delay differential equations with normal reflection. The equations are driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>1/2$. The stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is a pathwise Riemann--Stieltjes integral.
In this article, we analyze a system modeling bacteriophage treatments for infections in a noisy context. In the small noise regime, we show that after a reasonable amount of time the system is close to a sane equilibrium (which is a relevant biologic information) with high probability. Mathematically speaking, our study hinges on concentration techniques for delayed stochastic differential equations.
In this note we prove an existence and uniqueness result of solution for stochastic Volterra integral equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 1/2, showing also that the solution has finite moments. The stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is a pathwise Riemann-Stieltjes integral.
In this note, we take up the study of weak convergence for stochastic differential equations driven by a (Liouville) fractional Brownian motion $B$ with Hurst parameter $H\in(1/3,1/2)$. In the current paper, we approximate the $d$-dimensional fBm by the convolution of a rescaled random walk with Liouville's kernel. We then show that the corresponding differential equation converges in law to a fractional SDE driven by $B$.
In this note, a diffusion approximation result is shown for stochastic differential equations driven by a (Liouville) fractional Brownian motion B with Hurst parameter H in (1/3,1/2). More precisely, we resort to the Kac-Stroock type approximation using a Poisson process studied in Bardina, Jolis and Tudor (2003) and Delgado and Jolis (2000), and our method of proof relies on the algebraic integration theory introduced by Gubinelli (2004).
We show an It\^ o's formula for nondegenerate Brownian martingales $X_t=\int_0^t u_s dW_s$ and functions $F(x,t)$ with locally integrable derivatives in $t$ and $x$. We prove that one can express the additional term in Itô's s formula as an integral over space and time with respect to local time.
In this article, we try to give a rather complete picture of the behavior of the free energy for a model of directed polymer in a random environment, in which the polymer is a simple symmetric random walk on the lattice $\Z^d$, and the environment is a collection $\{W(t,x);t\ge 0, x\in \Z^d\}$ of i.i.d. Brownian motions.
Bardina and Jolis [Stochastic process. Appl. 69 (1997) 83--109] prove an extension of Itô's formula for $F(X_t,t)$, where $F(x,t)$ has a locally square-integrable derivative in $x$ that satisfies a mild continuity condition in $t$ and $X$ is a one-dimensional diffusion process such that the law of $X_t$ has a density satisfying certain properties. This formula was expressed using quadratic covariation. Following the ideas of Eisenbaum [Potential Anal. 13 (2000) 303--328] concerning Brownian motion, we show that one can re-express this formula using integration over space and time with respect to local times in place of quadratic covariation. We also show that when the function $F$ has a locally integrable derivative in $t$, we can avoid the mild continuity condition in $t$ for the derivative of $F$ in $x$.
This note is concerned with a diluted version of the perceptron model. We establish a replica symmetric formula at high temperature, which is achieved by studying the asymptotic behavior of a given spin magnetization. Our main task will be to identify the order parameter of the system.
In this paper, we introduce a model of Brownian polymer in a continuous random environment. The asymptotic behavior of the partition function associated to this polymer measure is studied, and we are able to separate a weak and strong disorder regime under some reasonable assumptions on the spatial covariance of the environment. Some further developments, concerning some concentration inequalities for the partition function, are given for the weak disorder regime.
