Full cross-diffusion limit in the stationary Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of coexistence steady-states of the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model as both cross-diffusion coefficients tend to infinity at the same rate. In the case when either one of two cross-diffusion coefficients tends to infinity, Lou and Ni [18] derived a couple of limiting systems, which characterize the asymptotic behavior of coexistence steady-states. Recently, a formal observation by Kan-on [10] implied the existence of a limiting system including the nonstationary problem as both cross-diffusion coefficients tend to infinity at the same rate. This paper gives a rigorous proof of his observation as far as the stationary problem. As a key ingredient of the proof, we establish a uniform $L^{\infty }$ estimate for all steady-states. Thanks to this a priori estimate, we show that the asymptotic profile of coexistence steady-states can be characterized by a solution of the limiting system.     

Non parametric estimation of the diffusion coefficients of a diffusion with jumps

In this article, we consider a jump diffusion process ${\left(X_t\right)}_{t\ge 0}$, with drift function $b$, diffusion coefficient $\sigma$ and jump coefficient ${\xi }^2$. This process is observed at discrete times $t=0,\Delta ,\dots ,n\Delta$. The sampling interval $\Delta$ tends to 0 and the time interval $n\Delta$ tends to infinity. We assume that ${\left(X_t\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ is ergodic, strictly stationary and exponentially $\beta$-mixing. We use a penalized least-square approach to compute adaptive estimators of the functions ${\sigma }^2+{\xi }^2$ and ${\sigma }^2$. We provide bounds for the risks of the two estimators.     

Anisotropy Effects and Observational Data on the Constraints of Evolution Dark Energy Models

We investigate cosmological dark energy models where the accelerated expansion of the universe is driven by a field with an anisotropic universe. The constraints on the parameters are obtained by maximum likelihood analysis using observational of 194 Type Ia supernovae(SNIa) and the most recent joint light-curve analysis(JLA) sample. In particular we reconstruct the dark energy equation of state parameter w(z) and the deceleration parameter q(z). We find that the best fit dynamical w(z) obtained from the 194 SNIa dataset does not cross the phantom divide line w(z) =-1 and remains above and close to w(z)≈-0.92 line for the whole redshift range 0 ≤ z ≤ 1.75 showing no evidence for phantom behavior. By applying the anisotropy effect on the ΛCDM model, the joint analysis indicates that ?_(σ0)= 0.0163 ± 0.03,with 194 SNIa, ?_(σ0)=-0.0032 ± 0.032 with 238 the SiFTO sample of JLA and ?_(σ0)= 0.011 ± 0.0117 with 1048 the SALT2 sample of Pantheon at 1σ′confidence interval. The analysis shows that by considering the anisotropy, it leads to more best fit parameters in all models with JLA SNe datasets. Furthermore, we use two statistical tests such as the usual χ_(min)~2/dof and p-test to compare two dark energy models with ΛCDM model. Finally we show that the presence of anisotropy is confirmed in mentioned models via SNIa dataset.
