Estimation of the invariant measure of a multidimensional diffusion from noisy observations

We introduce a new approach for estimating the invariant density of a multidimensional diffusion when dealing with high-frequency observations blurred by independent noise. We consider the intermediate regime, where observations occur at discrete time instances $kΔ_n$ for $k=0,\dots,n$, under the conditions $Δ_n\to 0$ and $nΔ_n\to\infty$. We construct a kernel density estimator based on preaveraged observations to reduce the effect of the noise and involves a two-step bias-correction procedure to appropriately account for the bias introduced by the pre-averaging. The rate of convergence of our estimator depends on both the anisotropic regularity of the density and the intensity of the noise. We establish conditions on the intensity of the noise that ensure the recovery of convergence rates similar to those achievable without any noise. Furthermore, we prove a Bernstein concentration inequality for our estimator, from which we derive an adaptive procedure for the kernel bandwidth selection.

On the long-time behavior of mean field game systems with a common noise

In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of mean field game (MFG) systems influenced by a common noise. While classical results establish the convergence of deterministic MFG towards stationary solutions under suitable monotonicity conditions, the introduction of a common stochastic perturbation significantly complicates the analysis. We consider a standard MFG model with infinitely many players whose dynamics are subject to both idiosyncratic and common noise. The central goal is to characterize the asymptotic properties as the horizon goes to infinity. By employing quantitative methods that replace classical compactness arguments unavailable in the stochastic context, we prove that solutions exhibit exponential convergence toward a stationary regime. Specifically, we identify a deterministic ergodic constant and demonstrate the existence of stationary random processes capturing the limiting behavior. Further, we establish almost sure long-time results thanks to a detailed analysis of the ergodic master equation, which is the long-time limit of the master equation. Our results extend known deterministic convergence phenomena to the stochastic setting, relying on novel backward stochastic PDE estimates.

Ergodicity of some stochastic Fokker-Planck equations with additive common noise

In this paper we consider stochastic Fokker-Planck Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), obtained as the mean-field limit of weakly interacting particle systems subjected to both independent (or idiosyncratic) and common Brownian noises. We provide sufficient conditions under which the deterministic counterpart of the Fokker-Planck equation, which corresponds to particle systems that are just subjected to independent noises, has several invariant measures, but for which the stochastic version admits a unique invariant measure under the presence of the additive common noise. The very difficulty comes from the fact that the common noise is just of finite dimension while the state variable, which should be seen as the conditional marginal law of the system given the common noise, lives in a space of infinite dimension. In this context, our result holds true if, in addition to standard confining properties, the mean field interaction term forces the system to be attracted by its conditional mean given the common noise and the intensity of the idiosyncratic noise is small.
