Invariant manifolds for stochastic wave equations

In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic wave equations with nonlinear multiplicative noise. We first show that these stochastic wave equations generate random dynamical systems (or stochastic flows) by transforming the stochastic wave equations to random wave equations through a stationary random homeomorphism. Then, we establish the existence of random invariant manifolds for the random wave equations. Due to the temperedness of the nonlinearity, we obtain only local invariant manifolds no matter how large the spectral gap is unlike the deterministic cases. Based on these random dynamical systems, we prove the existence of random invariant manifolds in a tempered neighborhood of an equilibrium. Finally, we show that the images of these invariant manifolds under the inverse stationary transformation give invariant manifolds for the stochastic wave equations.

Exponentially Stable Stationary Solutions for Stochastic Evolution Equations and Their Perturbation

We consider the exponential stability of stochastic evolution equations with Lipschitz continuous non-linearities when zero is not a solution for these equations. We prove the existence of a non-trivial stationary solution which is exponentially stable, where the stationary solution is generated by the composition of a random variable and the Wiener shift. We also construct stationary solutions with the stronger property of attracting bounded sets uniformly. The existence of these stationary solutions follows from the theory of random dynamical systems and their attractors. In addition, we prove some perturbation results and formulate conditions for the existence of stationary solutions for semilinear stochastic partial differential equations with Lipschitz continuous non-linearities.     

Stochastic Relations of Random Variables and Processes

This paper generalizes the notion of stochastic order to a relation between probability measures over arbitrary measurable spaces. This generalization is motivated by the observation that for the stochastic ordering of two stationary Markov processes, it suffices that the generators of the processes preserve some, not necessarily reflexive or transitive, subrelation of the order relation. The main contributions of the paper are: a functional characterization of stochastic relations, necessary and sufficient conditions for the preservation of stochastic relations, and an algorithm for finding subrelations preserved by probability kernels. The theory is illustrated with applications to hidden Markov processes, population processes, and queueing systems.     

The stable manifold theorem for non-linear stochastic systems with memory: II. The local stable manifold theorem

We state and prove a Local Stable Manifold Theorem (Theorem 4.1) for non-linear stochastic differential systems with finite memory (viz. stochastic functional differential equations (sfde's)). We introduce the notion of hyperbolicity for stationary trajectories of sfde's. We then establish the existence of smooth stable and unstable manifolds in a neighborhood of a hyperbolic stationary trajectory. The stable and unstable manifolds are stationary and asymptotically invariant under the stochastic semiflow. The proof uses infinite-dimensional multiplicative ergodic theory techniques developed by D. Ruelle, together with interpolation arguments.     

Scenarios for Multistage Stochastic Programs

A major issue in any application of multistage stochastic programming is the representation of the underlying random data process. We discuss the case when enough data paths can be generated according to an accepted parametric or nonparametric stochastic model. No assumptions on convexity with respect to the random parameters are required. We emphasize the notion of representative scenarios (or a representative scenario tree) relative to the problem being modeled.     

A generalized stochastic goal programming model

In this paper we show how one can get stochastic solutions of Stochastic Multi-objective Problem (SMOP) using goal programming models. In literature it is well known that one can reduce a SMOP to deterministic equivalent problems and reduce the analysis of a stochastic problem to a collection of deterministic problems. The first sections of this paper will be devoted to the introduction of deterministic equivalent problems when the feasible set is a random set and we show how to solve them using goal programming technique. In the second part we try to go more in depth on notion of SMOP solution and we suppose that it has to be a random variable. We will present stochastic goal programming model for finding stochastic solutions of SMOP. Our approach requires more computational time than the one based on deterministic equivalent problems due to the fact that several optimization programs (which depend on the number of experiments to be run) needed to be solved. On the other hand, since in our approach we suppose that a SMOP solution is a random variable, according to the Central Limit Theorem the larger will be the sample size and the more precise will be the estimation of the statistical moments of a SMOP solution. The developed model will be illustrated through numerical examples.     

Stationary and multi-self-similar random fields with stochastic volatility

This paper introduces stationary and multi-self-similar random fields which account for stochastic volatility and have type G marginal law. The stationary random fields are constructed using volatility modulated mixed moving average (MA) fields and their probabilistic properties are discussed. Also, two methods for parameterizing the weight functions in the MA representation are presented: one method is based on Fourier techniques and aims at reproducing a given correlation structure, the other method is based on ideas from stochastic partial differential equations. Moreover, using a generalized Lamperti transform we construct volatility modulated multi-self-similar random fields which have type G distribution.     

Dynamical Analysis for a General Jerky Equation with Random Excitation

A general jerky equation with random excitation is investigated in this paper. Before introducing the random excitation term, the equation is reduced to a two-dimensional model when undergoing a Hopf bifurcation. Then the model with the parametric excitation and external excitation is converted to a stochastic differential equation with singularity based on the stochastic average theory. For the equation, its dynamical behaviors are analyzed in different parameters'' spaces, including the stability, stochastic bifurcation and stationary solution. Besides, numerical simulations are given to show the asymptotic behavior of the stationary solution.     

The Pathwise Numerical Approximation of Stationary Solutions of Semilinear Stochastic Evolution Equations

Under a one-sided dissipative Lipschitz condition on its drift, a stochastic evolution equation with additive noise of the reaction-diffusion type is shown to have a unique stochastic stationary solution which pathwise attracts all other solutions. A similar situation holds for each Galerkin approximation and each implicit Euler scheme applied to these Galerkin approximations. Moreover, the stationary solution of the Euler scheme converges pathwise to that of the Galerkin system as the stepsize tends to zero and the stationary solutions of the Galerkin systems converge pathwise to that of the evolution equation as the dimension increases. The analysis is carried out on random partial and ordinary differential equations obtained from their stochastic counterparts by subtraction of appropriate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stationary solutions.     

Stochastic inertial manifold

A nonlinear stochastic evolution equation in Hilbert space with generalized additive white noise is considered. A concept of stochastic mertial manifold is introduced, defined as a random manifold depending on time, which is finite dimensional, invariant for the dynamic, and attracts exponentially fast all the trajectories as t → ∞. Under the classical spectral gap condition of the deterministic theory, the existence of a stochastic inertial manifold is proved. It is obtained as the solution of a stochastic partial differential equation of degenerate parabolic type, studied by a variant of Bernstein method. A result of existence and uniqueness of a stationary inertial manifold is also proved; the stationary inertial manifold contains the random attractor, introduced in previous works.     

Towards mesoscopic ergodic theory Dedicated with Admiration to the Memory of Professor Shantao Liao

The present paper is devoted to a preliminary study towards the establishment of an ergodic theory for stochastic differential equations(SDEs) with less regular coefficients and degenerate noises. These equations are often derived as mesoscopic limits of complex or huge microscopic systems. By studying the associated Fokker-Planck equation(FPE), we prove the convergence of the time average of globally defined weak solutions of such an SDE to the set of stationary measures of the FPE under Lyapunov conditions. In the case where the set of stationary measures consists of a single element, the unique stationary measure is shown to be physical.Similar convergence results for the solutions of the FPE are established as well. Some of our convergence results, while being special cases of those contained in Ji et al.(2019) for SDEs with periodic coefficients, have weaken the required Lyapunov conditions and are of much simplified proofs. Applications to stochastic damping Hamiltonian systems and stochastic slow-fast systems are given.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions: An application to stochastic NLP

In this article we study the consistency of optimal and stationary (KKT) points of a stochastic non-linear optimization problem involving expectation functionals, when the underlying probability distribution associated with the random variable is weakly approximated by a sequence of random probability measures. The optimization model includes constraints with expectation functionals those are not captured in direct application of the previous results on optimality conditions exist in the literature. We first study the consistency of stationary points of a general NLP problem with convex and locally Lipschitz data and then apply those results to the stochastic NLP problem and stochastic minimax problem. Moreover, we derive an exponential bound for such approximations using a large deviation principle.

     

Spatially homogeneous random evolutions

Spatially homogeneous random evolutions arise in the study of the growth of a population in a spatially homogeneous random environment. The random evolution is obtained as the solution of a bilinear stochastic evolution equation. The main results are concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the solution for large times. In particular, conditions for the existence of a stationary random field are established. Furthermore space-time renormalization limit theorems are obtained which lead to either Gaussian or non-Gaussian generalized processes depending on the case under consideration.

Stationary Conjugation of Flows for Parabolic SPDEs with Multiplicative Noise and Some Applications

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to transform a nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation of parabolic type with multiplicative noise into a random partial differential equation by using a bijective random process. A stationary conjugation is constructed, which is of interest for asymptotic problems. The conjugation is used here to prove the existence of the stochastic flow, the perfect cocycle property and the existence of the random attractor, all nontrivial properties in the case of multiplicative noise.
