Bismut Formula for Lions Derivative of Distribution-Path Dependent SDEs

To characterize the regularity of distribution-path dependent SDEs in the initial distribution which varies in the class of probability measures on the path space, we introduce the intrinsic and Lions derivatives for probability measures on Banach spaces, and prove the chain rule of the Lions derivative for the distribution of Banach-valued random variables. By using Malliavin calculus, we establish the Bismut type formula for the Lions derivatives of functional solutions to SDEs with distribution-path dependent drifts. When the noise term is also path dependent so that the Bismut formula is invalid, we establish the asymptotic Bismut formula. Both non-degenerate and degenerate noises are considered. The main results of this paper generalize and improve the corresponding ones derived recently in the literature for the classical SDEs with memory and McKean-Vlasov SDEs without memory.

Coupling approach for exponential ergodicity of stochastic Hamiltonian systems with Lévy noises

We establish exponential ergodicity for the stochastic Hamiltonian system $(X_t, V_t)_{t\ge0}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$ with Lévy noises \begin{align*} \begin{cases} \mathrm{d} X_t=\big(a X_t+bV_t\big)\,\mathrm{d} t,\\ \mathrm{d} V_t=U(X_t,V_t)\,\mathrm{d} t+\mathrm{d} L_t, \end{cases} \end{align*} where $a\ge 0$, $b> 0$, $U:\mathbb{R}^{2d}\to\mathbb{R}^d$ and $(L_t)_{t\ge0}$ is an $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued pure jump Lévy process. The approach is based on a new refined basic coupling for Lévy processes and a Lyapunov function for stochastic Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we can handle the case that $U(x,v)=-v-\nabla U_0(x)$ with double well potential $U_0$ which is super-linear growth at infinity such as $U_0(x)=c_1(1+|x|^2)^l-c_2|x|^2$ with $l>1$ or $U_0(x) = c_1\mathrm{e}^{(1+|x|^2)^l} - c_2|x|^2$ with $l>0$ for any $c_1,c_2>0$, and also deal with the case that the Lévy measure $ν$ of $(L_t)_{t\ge0}$ is degenerate in the sense that $$ν(\mathrm{d} z)\ge \frac{c}{|z|^{d+θ_0}} \mathbb{I}_{\{0 0$ and $θ_0\in (0,2)$, where $z_1$ is the first component of the vector $z\in \mathbb{R}^d$.

First order convergence of Milstein schemes for McKean-Vlasov equations and interacting particle systems

In this paper, we derive fully implementable first order time-stepping schemes for McKean--Vlasov stochastic differential equations (McKean--Vlasov SDEs), allowing for a drift term with super-linear growth in the state component. We propose Milstein schemes for a time-discretised interacting particle system associated with the McKean--Vlasov equation and prove strong convergence of order 1 and moment stability, taming the drift if only a one-sided Lipschitz condition holds. To derive our main results on strong convergence rates, we make use of calculus on the space of probability measures with finite second order moments. In addition, numerical examples are presented which support our theoretical findings.

Convergence rate of EM algorithm for SDEs under integrability condition

In this paper, by employing Gaussian type estimate of heat kernel, we establish Krylov's estimate and Khasminskill's estimate for EM algorithm. As applications, by taking Zvonkin's transformation into account, we investigate convergence rate of EM algorithm for a class of multidimensional SDEs under integrability conditions, where the drifts need not to be piecewise Lipschitz and are much more singular in some sense.

Coupling methods and exponential ergodicity for two-factor affine processes

In this paper, by invoking the coupling approach, we establish exponential ergodicity under the $L^1 $-Wasserstein distance for two-factor affine processes. The method employed herein is universal in a certain sense so that it is applicable to general two-factor affine processes, which allow that the first component solves a general CIR process, and that there are interactions in the second component, as well as that the Brownian noises are correlated; and even to some models beyond two-factor processes.

Permanence and extinction of regime-switching predator-prey models

In this work we study the permanence and extinction of a regime-switching predator-prey model with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The switching process is used to describe the random changing of corresponding parameters such as birth and death rates of a species in different environments. Our criteria can justify whether a prey die out or not when it will die out in some environments and will not in others. Our criteria are rather sharp, and they cover the known on-off type results on permanence of predator-prey models without switching. Our method relies on the recent study of ergodicity of regime-switching diffusion processes.

Approximations of Mckean-Vlasov SDEs with Irregular Coefficients

The goal of this paper is to approximate several kinds of {\it Mckean-Vlasov SDEs} with {\it irregular coefficients} via weakly interacting particle systems. More precisely, propagation of chaos and convergence rate of Euler-Maruyama scheme associated with the consequent weakly interacting particle systems are investigated for Mckean-Vlasov SDEs, where (i) the diffusion terms are Hölder continuous by taking advantage of Yamada-Watanabe's approximation approach and (ii) the drifts are Hölder continuous by freezing distributions followed by invoking Zvonkin's transformation trick.

Asymptotic Behavior of SIRS Models in State-dependent Random Environments

The extinction and persistence of infective individuals are closely related to the random change of the environment. In this paper, via the random/stochastic SIRS models, we analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the impact caused by the random change of the environment. Our contributions consist in (i) giving some sufficient conditions on extinction (persistence) of the infectious individuals even though they are persistent (resp. extinct) in certain fixed environments; (ii) revealing the influence of random switching of incidence functions on extinction for the infectious individuals, which has not been studied before; (iii) establishing a criterion to judge extinction of the infectious individuals for a range of random/stochastic SIRS models with state-dependent switching via a stochastic comparison for functionals of jump processes. Moreover, some examples are set to illustrate the applications of our theory.

Weak convergence of path-dependent SDEs with irregular coefficients

In this paper we develop via Girsanov's transformation a perturbation argument to investigate weak convergence of Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme for path-dependent SDEs with Hölder continuous drifts. This approach is available to other scenarios, e.g., truncated EM schemes for non-degenerate SDEs with finite memory or infinite memory. Also, such trick can be applied to study weak convergence of truncated EM scheme for a range of stochastic Hamiltonian systems with irregular coefficients and with memory, which are typical degenerate dynamical systems. Moreover, the weak convergence of path-dependent SDEs under integrability condition is investigated by establishing, via the dimension-free Harnack inequality, exponential integrability of irregular drifts w.r.t. the invariant probability measure constructed explicitly in advance.

Asymptotic Log-Harnack Inequality and Applications for Stochastic Systems of Infinite Memory

The asymptotic log-Harnack inequality is established for several different models of stochastic differential systems with infinite memory: non-degenerate SDEs, Neutral SDEs, semi-linear SPDEs, and stochastic Hamiltonian systems. As applications, the following properties are derived for the associated segment Markov semigroups: asymptotic heat kernel estimate; uniqueness of the invariant probability measure; asymptotic gradient estimate and hence, asymptotically strong Feller property; and asymptotic irreducibilty.

In this paper, the weak Harris theorem developed in \cite{HMS11} is illustrated by using a straightforward Wasserstein coupling, which implies the exponential ergodicity of the functional solutions to a range of neutral type SDEs with infinite length of memory. A concrete example is presented to illustrate the main result.

Invariant Measures for Path-Dependent Random Diffusions

In this work, we are concerned with existence and uniqueness of invariant measures for path-dependent random diffusions and their time discretizations. The random diffusion here means a diffusion process living in a random environment characterized by a continuous time Markov chain. Under certain ergodic conditions, we show that the path-dependent random diffusion enjoys a unique invariant probability measure and converges exponentially to its equilibrium under the Wasserstein distance. Also, we demonstrate that the time discretization of the path-dependent random diffusion involved admits a unique invariant probability measure and shares the corresponding ergodic property when the stepsize is sufficiently small. During this procedure, the difficulty arose from the time-discretization of continuous time Markov chain has to be deal with, for which an estimate on its exponential functional is presented.

Two-time-scale stochastic partial differential equations driven by $α$-stable noises: Averaging principles

This paper focuses on stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) under two-time-scale formulation. Distinct from the work in the existing literature, the systems are driven by $α$-stable processes with $α\in(1,2)$. In addition, the SPDEs are either modulated by a continuous-time Markov chain with a finite state space or have an addition fast jump component. The inclusion of the Markov chain is for the needs of treating random environment, whereas the addition of the fast jump process enables the consideration of discontinuity in the sample paths of the fast processes. Assuming either a fast changing Markov switching or an additional fast-varying jump process, this work aims to obtain the averaging principles for such systems. There are several distinct difficulties. First, the noise is not square integrable. Second, in our setup, for the underlying SPDE, there is only a unique mild solution and as a result, there is only mild Itô's formula that can be used. Moreover, another new aspect is the addition of the fast regime switching and the addition of the fast varying jump processes in the formulation, which enlarges the applicability of the underlying systems. To overcome these difficulties, a semigroup approach is taken. Under suitable conditions, it is proved that the $p$th moment convergence takes place with $p\in(1,α)$, which is stronger than the usual weak convergence approaches.

Convergence Rate of Euler-Maruyama Scheme for SDEs with Rough Coefficients

In this paper, we are concerned with convergence rate of Euler-Maruyama scheme for stochastic differential equations with rough coefficients. The key contributions lie in (i), by means of regularity of non-degenerate Kolmogrov equation, we investigate convergence rate of Euler-Maruyama scheme for a class of stochastic differential equations, which allow the drifts to be Dini-continuous and unbounded; (ii) by the aid of regularization properties of degenerate Kolmogrov equation, we discuss convergence rate of Euler-Maruyama scheme for a range of degenerate stochastic differential equations, where the drift is locally Hölder-Dini continuous of order $\frac{2}{3}$ with respect to the first component, and is merely Dini-continuous concerning the second component.

Convergence of EM Scheme for Neutral Stochastic Differential Delay Equations

In this paper, we are concerned with convergence rate of Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme for stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs) of neutral type, where the neutral term, the drift term and the diffusion term are allowed to be of polynomial growth. More precisely, for SDDEs of neutral type driven by Brownian motions, we reveal that the convergence rate of the corresponding EM scheme is one half; Whereas for SDDEs of neutral type driven by jump processes, we show that the best convergence rate of the associated EM scheme is close to one half.

Hypercontractivity for Functional Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

Explicit sufficient conditions on the hypercontractivity are presented for two classes of functional stochastic partial differential equations driven by, respectively, non-degenerate and degenerate Gaussian noises. Consequently, these conditions imply that the associated Markov semigroup is $L^2$-compact and exponentially convergent to the stationary distribution in entropy, variance and total variational norm. As the log-Sobolev inequality is invalid under the framework, we apply a criterion presented in the recent paper \cite{Wang14} using Harnack inequality, coupling property and Gaussian concentration property of the stationary distribution. To verify the concentration property, we prove a Fernique type inequality for infinite-dimensional Gaussian processes which might be interesting by itself.
