Iterative procedures for solutions of random operator equations in Banach spaces

We construct random iterative processes for weakly contractive and asymptotically nonexpansive random operators and study necessary conditions for the convergence of these processes. It is shown that they converge to the random fixed points of these operators in the setting of Banach spaces. We also proved that an implicit random iterative process converges to the common random fixed point of a finite family of asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive random operators in uniformly convex Banach spaces.

Supermodular Comparison of Time-to-Ruin Random Vectors

This paper studies time-to-ruin random vectors for multivariate risk processes. Two cases are considered: risk processes with independent increments and risk processes evolving in a common random environment (e.g., because they share the same economic conditions). As expected, increasing the dependence between the risk processes increases the dependence between their respective time-to-ruin random variables. This article is dedicated to the memory of our beloved friend Benjamin Zeev Levikson who passed away on July 16, 2005.     

Gaussian and sparse processes are limits of generalized Poisson processes

The theory of sparse stochastic processes offers a broad class of statistical models to study signals, far beyond the more classical class of Gaussian processes. In this framework, signals are represented as realizations of random processes that are solution of linear stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy white noises. Among these processes, generalized Poisson processes based on compound-Poisson noises admit an interpretation as random L-splines with random knots and weights. We demonstrate that every generalized Lévy process—from Gaussian to sparse—can be understood as the limit in law of a sequence of generalized Poisson processes. This enables a new conceptual understanding of sparse processes and suggests simple algorithms for the numerical generation of such objects.     

On finiteness and continuity of shot noise processes

For a rather general class of stochastic processes induced by time-stationary and by event-stationary random marked point processes, respectively, conditions are given for the almost sure finiteness of these processes and for their continuous dependence on the underlying random marked point process.     

Random sets. A survey of results and applications

A survey of current directions in the theory of random closed sets is presented; these include: the central limit theorem, the law of large numbers for Minkowski sums and unions of random sets, semi-Markov random closed sets, Boolean models and statistical estimation of their parameters, specification of distributions and associated problems of capacity theory. Weak convergence of random closed sets is defined and its application to limit theorems for graphs and epi-graphs of random processes and problems of stochastic optimization is described. Other connections with the theory of random processes (level sets, multivalued and controllable random processes) are also discussed.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 12, pp. 1587–1599, December, 1991.

Pseudo-Poissonian processes with stochastic intensity and a class of processes generalizing the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process

The definition of pseudo-Poissonian processes is given in the famous monograph of William Feller (1971, Vol. II, Chapter X). The contemporary development of the theory of information flows generates new interest in the detailed analysis of behavior and characteristics of pseudo-Poissonian processes. Formally, a pseudo-Poissonian process is a Poissonian subordination of the mathematical time of an independent random sequence (the time randomization of a random sequence). We consider a sequence consisting of independent identically distributed random variables with second moments. In this case, pseudo-Poissonian processes do not have independent increments, but it is possible to calculate the autocovariance function, and it turns out that it exponentially decreases. Appropriately normed sums of independent copies of such pseudo-Poissonian processes tend to the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. A generalization of driving Poissonian processes to the case where the intensity is random is considered and it is shown that, under this generalization, the autocovariance function of the corresponding pseudo-Poissonian process is the Laplace transform of the distribution of that random intensity. Stochastic choice principles for the distribution of the random intensity are shortly discussed and they are illustrated by two detailed examples.     

Precise Large Deviations for Long-Tailed Distributions

In this paper, we investigate the precise large deviations for sums of independent identically distributed random variables with heavy-tailed distributions. We prove asymptotic relations for non-random sums and for random sums of random variables with long-tailed distributions. We apply the results on two useful counting processes, namely, renewal and compound-renewal processes.

On convergence of random walks generated by compound Cox processes to Lévy processes

A functional limit theorem is proved establishing weak convergence of random walks generated by compound doubly stochastic Poisson processes to Lévy processes in the Skorokhod space. As corollaries, theorems are proved on convergence of random walks with jumps having finite variances to Lévy processes with mixed normal distributions, and in particular, to stable Lévy processes.     

A kriging procedure for processes indexed by graphs

We provide a new kriging procedure of processes on graphs. Based on the construction of Gaussian random processes indexed by graphs, we extend to this framework the usual linear prediction method for spatial random fields, known as kriging. We provide the expression of the estimator of such a random field at unobserved locations as well as a control for the prediction error.     

Random capacities and their distributions

Summary We formalize the notion of an increasing and outer continuous random process, indexed by a class of compact sets, that maps the empty set on zero. Existence and convergence theorems for distributions of such processes are proved. These results generalize or are similar to those known in the special cases of random measures, random (closed) sets and random (upper) semicontinuous functions. For the latter processes infinite divisibility under the maximum is introduced and characterized. Our result generalizes known characterizations of infinite divisibility for random sets and max-infinite divisibility for random vectors. Also discussed is the convergence in distribution of the row-vise maxima of a null-array of random semicontinuous functions.Research supported by the Swedish Natural Science Research Council

Convergence of random step lines to Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-type processes

The paper deals with random step-line processes defined by sums of independent identically distributed random variables multiplied by independent indicators. These processes describe some models in which random variables are replaced with other ones. We prove the convergence in distribution of such processes to the weighted Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.

Positive dependence orderings and stopping times

We study the positive dependence of pairs of stochastic processes and examine its relation with the properties of certain stopping times. Some special cases, such as dependent random walks, Gaussian processes and exchangeable sequences of elliptically contoured random variables, are taken into account.     

Super-Tree Random Measures

We use supercritical branching processes with random walk steps of geometrically decreasing size to construct random measures. Special cases of our construction give close relatives of the super-(spherically symmetric stable) processes. However, other cases can produce measures with very smooth densities in any dimension.     

Large Deviations Approximations to Distributions of the Total Distance of Compound Random Walks with von Mises Directions

This article considers the planar random walk where the direction taken by each consecutive step follows the von Mises distribution and where the number of steps of the random walk is determined by the class of inhomogeneous birth processes. Saddlepoint approximations to the distribution of the total distance covered by the random walk, i.e. of the length of the resultant vector of the individual steps, are proposed. Specific formulae are derived for the inhomogeneous Poisson process and for processes with linear contagion, which are the binomial and the negative binomial processes. A numerical example confirms the high accuracy of the proposed saddlepoint approximations.
