Discrete-time trawl processes

We introduce a class of discrete time stationary trawl processes taking real or integer values and written as sums of past values of independent ‘seed’ processes on shrinking intervals (‘trawl heights’). Related trawl processes in continuous time were studied in Barndorff-Nielsen et al. (2011, 2014).In the case when the trawl function decays as a power function of the lag with exponent $1<\alpha <2$, the trawl process exhibits long memory and its covariance function is non-summable. We show that under general conditions on generic seed process, the normalized partial sums of such trawl process may tend either to a fractional Brownian motion or to an $\alpha$-stable Lévy process. Moreover if the trawl function admits a faster decay rate, then the classical Donsker’s invariance principle holds true.     

Toward the Calculation of Higher-Dimensional Stable Manifolds and Stable Sets for Noninvertible and Piecewise-Smooth Maps

This paper presents a new numerical method for computing global stable manifolds and global stable sets of nonlinear discrete dynamical systems. For a given map f:ℝ ^d →ℝ ^d , the proposed method is capable of yielding large parts of stable manifolds and sets within a certain compact region M⊂ℝ ^d . The algorithm divides the region M in sets and uses an adaptive subdivision technique to approximate an outer covering of the manifolds. In contrast to similar approaches, the method requires neither the system’s inverse nor its Jacobian. Hence, it can also be applied to noninvertible and piecewise-smooth maps. The successful application of the method is illustrated by computation of one- and two-dimensional stable manifolds and global stable sets.     

Compositional models and conditional independence in evidence theory

The goal of the paper is twofold. The first is to show that some of the ideas for representation of multidimensional distributions in probability and possibility theories can be transferred into evidence theory. Namely, we show that multidimensional basic assignments can be rather efficiently represented in a form of so-called compositional models. These models are based on the iterative application of the operator of composition, whose definition for basic assignments as well as its properties are presented. We also prove that the operator of composition in evidence theory is in a sense generalization of its probabilistic counterpart.The second goal of the paper is to introduce a new definition of conditional independence in evidence theory and to show in what sense it is superior to that formerly introduced by other authors.     

Fragmentation associated with Lévy processes using snake

We consider the height process of a Lévy process with no negative jumps, and its associated continuous tree representation. Using Lévy snake tools developed by Le Gall-Le Jan and Duquesne-Le Gall, with an underlying Poisson process, we construct a fragmentation process, which in the stable case corresponds to the self-similar fragmentation described by Miermont. For the general fragmentation process we compute a family of dislocation measures as well as the law of the size of a tagged fragment. We also give a special Markov property for the snake which is of its own interest.      

齐次、可加及线性g-估价

彭实戈通过倒向随机微分方程介绍了g-估价的概念.一般来说,给定一个生成元g,对应的条件g-估价系统通常不是齐次,可加或线性的,那么我们自然要问:满足什么样条件的生成元g才能使得这些性质成立,本文回答了这一问题.     

沪深股市收益率的尾部相关函数

尾部相关性是相关性分析中重要的一类,利用度量尾部相关性的指标χ,χ-以及尾部相关函数ρ(θ)来分析尾部相关性,并给出ρ(θ)的一种非参数估计方法.通过这两种方法研究上证综合指数和深证成分指数日收盘指数对数收益率在损失情况下的尾部相关性,结果表明两市指数日对数收益率具有很强的尾部相关性.     

Behavior near hyperbolic stationary solutions for partial functional differential equations with infinite delay

The aim of this work is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions near hyperbolic stationary solutions for partial functional differential equations with infinite delay. We suppose that the linear part satisfies the Hille–Yosida condition on a Banach space and it is not necessarily densely defined. Firstly, we establish a new variation of constants formula for the nonhomogeneous linear equations. Secondly, we use this formula and the spectral decomposition of the phase space to show the existence of stable and unstable manifolds. The estimations of solutions on these manifolds are obtained. For illustration, we propose to study the stability of stationary solutions for the Lotka–Volterra model with diffusion.
