The Compact Law of the Iterated Logarithm for Multivariate Stochastic Approximation Algorithms

Abstract

We consider a sequence (Z _n ) _n≥1 defined by a general multivariate stochastic approximation algorithm and assume that (Z _n ) converges to a solution z* almost surely. We establish the compact law of the iterated logarithm for Z _n by proving that, with probability one, the limit set of the sequence (Z _n  ? z*) suitably normalized is an ellipsoid. We also give the law of the iterated logarithm for the l ^p norms, p ∈ [1, ∞], of (Z _n  ? z*).     

Anticipating Stochastic Differential Equations of Stratonovich Type

We prove the existence and uniqueness of Stratonovich stochastic differential equations where the coefficients and the initial condition may depend on the whole path of the driving Wiener process. Our main hypothesis is that the diffusion coefficient satisfies the Frobenius condition. The solution is given in terms of solutions of ordinary differential equations and the Wiener process. We use this representation to study properties of the solution. Accepted 3 April 1996     

Two-Stage Stochastic Runge-Kutta Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations

In this paper we discuss two-stage diagonally implicit stochastic Runge-Kutta methods with strong order 1.0 for strong solutions of Stratonovich stochastic differential equations. Five stochastic Runge-Kutta methods are presented in this paper. They are an explicit method with a large MS-stability region, a semi-implicit method with minimum principal error coefficients, a semi-implicit method with a large MS-stability region, an implicit method with minimum principal error coefficients and another implicit method. We also consider composite stochastic Runge-Kutta methods which are the combination of semi-implicit Runge-Kutta methods and implicit Runge-Kutta methods. Two composite methods are presented in this paper. Numerical results are reported to compare the convergence properties and stability properties of these stochastic Runge-Kutta methods.

Continuity of the Explosion Time in Stochastic Differential Equations

Abstract

Stochastic ordinary differential equations may have solutions that explode in finite time. In this article we prove the continuity of the explosion time with respect to the different parameters appearing in the equation, such as the initial datum, the drift, and the diffusion.

On Weak Solutions of Stochastic Differential Equations

A new proof of existence of weak solutions to stochastic differential equations with continuous coefficients based on ideas from infinite-dimensional stochastic analysis is presented. The proof is fairly elementary, in particular, neither theorems on representation of martingales by stochastic integrals nor results on almost sure representation for tight sequences of random variables are needed.     

Backward Doubly Stochastic Differential Equations with Jumps and Stochastic Partial Differential-Integral Equations

Backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions and Poisson process(BDSDEP) with non-Lipschitz coeffcients on random time interval are studied.The probabilistic interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential-integral equations(SPDIEs) is treated with BDSDEP.Under non-Lipschitz conditions,the existence and uniqueness results for measurable solutions to BDSDEP are established via the smoothing technique.Then,the continuous dependence for solutions to BDSDEP is derived.Finally,the probabilistic interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear SPDIEs is given.     

On Weak Solutions of Stochastic Differential Equations II

In the first part of this article a new method of proving existence of weak solutions to stochastic differential equations with continuous coefficients having at most linear growth was developed. In this second part, we show that the same method may be used even if the linear growth hypothesis is replaced with a suitable Lyapunov condition.     

Stochastic Partial Differential Equations on Manifolds~II. Nonlinear Filtering

The existence of the conditional density with respect to a given measure on is shown under fairly general conditions, and the analytical properties of this density are characterized in terms of the Sobolev spaces used in the first part of this series.     

On the Law of The Iterated Logarithm for Rapidly Increasing Subsequences

The usual law of the iterated logarithm states that the partial sums S_n of independent and identically distributed random variables can be normalized by the sequence a_n = √nlog log n, such that limsup_n→∞ S_n/a_n = √2 a.s. As has been pointed out by Gut (1986) the law fails if one considers the limsup along subsequences which increase faster than exponentially. In particular, for very rapidly increasing subsequences {n_k≥1} one has limsup_k→∞ S_nk/a_nk = 0 a.s. In these cases the normalizing constants a_nk have to be replaced by √nk log k to obtain a non-trivial limiting behaviour: limsup_k→∞ S_nk/ √nk log k = √2 a.s. We will present an intelligible argument for this structural change and apply it to related results.
