Consider $n$ independent Goldstein-Kac telegraph processes $X_1(t), \dots ,X_n(t), \; n\ge 2, \; t\ge 0,$ on the real line $\Bbb R$. Each the process $X_k(t), \; k=1,\dots,n,$ describes a stochastic motion at constant finite speed $c_k>0$ of a particle that, at the initial time instant $t=0$, starts from some initial point $x_k^0=X_k(0)\in\Bbb R$ and whose evolution is controlled by a homogeneous Poisson process $N_k(t)$ of rate $λ_k>0$. The governing Poisson processes $N_k(t), \; k=1,\dots,n,$ are supposed to be independent as well. Consider the linear form of the processes $X_1(t), \dots ,X_n(t), \; n\ge 2,$ defined by $$L(t) = \sum_{k=1}^n a_k X_k(t) ,$$ where $a_k, \; k=1,\dots,n,$ are arbitrary real non-zero constant coefficients. We obtain a hyperbolic system of first-order partial differential equations for the joint probability densities of the process $L(t)$ and of the directions of motions at arbitrary time $t>0$. From this system we derive a partial differential equation of order $2^n$ for the transition density of $L(t)$ in the form of a determinant of a block matrix whose elements are the differential operators with constant coefficients. The weak convergence of $L(t)$ to a homogeneous Wiener process, under Kac's scaling conditions, is proved. Initial-value problems for the transition densities of the sum and difference $S^{\pm}(t)=X_1(t) \pm X_2(t)$ of two independent telegraph processes with arbitrary parameters, are also posed.
We present the stochastic solution to a generalized fractional partial differential equation involving a regularized operator related to the so-called Prabhakar operator and admitting, amongst others, as specific cases the fractional diffusion equation and the fractional telegraph equation. The stochastic solution is expressed as a Lévy process time-changed with the inverse process to a linear combination of (possibly subordinated) independent stable subordinators of different indices. Furthermore a related SDE is derived and discussed.
We consider two independent Goldstein-Kac telegraph processes $X_1(t)$ and $X_2(t)$ on the real line $\Bbb R$, both developing with finite constant speed $c>0$, that, at the initial time instant $t=0$, simultaneously start from the origin $0\in\Bbb R$ and whose evolutions are controlled by two independent homogeneous Poisson processes of the same rate $λ>0$. Closed-form expressions for the transition density $p(x,t)$ and the probability distribution function $Φ(x,t)=\text{Pr} \{ S(t)<x \}, \; x\in\Bbb R, \; t>0,$ of the sum $S(t)=X_1(t)+X_2(t)$ of these processes at arbitrary time instant $t>0…
A stochastic telegraph equation is defined by adding a random inhomogeneity to the classical (second order linear hyperbolic) telegraph differential equation. The inhomogeneities we consider are proportional to the two-dimensional white noise, and solutions to our equation are two-dimensional random Gaussian fields. We show that such fields arise naturally as asymptotic fluctuations of the height function in a certain limit regime of the stochastic six vertex model in a quadrant. The corresponding law of large numbers -- the limit shape of the height function -- is described by the (determinis…
In this paper we consider a class of non-local in time telegraph equations. Recently, it has been proved that the fundamental solutions of such equations can be interpreted as the probability density function of a stochastic process. We study the asymptotic behavior of the variance of this process at large and short times. In this context, we develop a method to construct new examples such the variance has a slowly growth behavior, extending the earlier results. Finally, we show that our approach can be adapted to define new integro-differential operators which are interesting in sub-diffusion…
The paper develops a new class of financial market models. These models are based on generalized telegraph processes: Markov random flows with alternating velocities and jumps occurring when the velocities are switching. While such markets may admit an arbitrage opportunity, the model under consideration is arbitrage-free and complete if directions of jumps in stock prices are in a certain correspondence with their velocity and interest rate behaviour. An analog of the Black-Scholes fundamental differential equation is derived, but, in contrast with the Black-Scholes model, this equation is hy…
In this paper we consider the general fractional equation \sum_{j=1}^m λ_j \frac{\partial^{ν_j}}{\partial t^{ν_j}} w(x_1,..., x_n ; t) = -c^2 (-Δ)^βw(x_1,..., x_n ; t), for ν_j \in (0,1], β\in (0,1] with initial condition w(x_1,..., x_n ; 0)= \prod_{j=1}^n δ(x_j). The solution of the Cauchy problem above coincides with the distribution of the n-dimensional process \bm{S}_n^{2β} \mathcal{L} c^2 {L}^{ν_1,..., ν_m} (t) \r, t>0, where \bm{S}_n^{2β} is an isotropic stable process independent from {L}^{ν_1,..., ν_m}(t) which is the inverse of {H}^{ν_1,..., ν_m} (t) = \sum_{j=1}^m λ_j^{1/ν_j} H^{ν_j}…
In this paper we show that solutions of stochastic partial differential equations driven by Brownian motion can be approximated by stochastic partial differential equations forced by pure jump noise/random kicks. Applications to stochastic Burgers equations are discussed.
In the present study we examine non-Gaussian spreading of solutes subject to advection, dispersion and kinetic sorption (adsorption/desorption). We start considering the behavior of a single particle and apply a random walk to describe advection/dispersion plus a Markov chain to describe kinetic sorption. We show in a rigorous way that this model leads to a set of differential equations. For this combination of stochastic processes such a derivation is new. Then, to illustrate the mechanism that leads to non-Gaussian spreading we analyze this set of equations at first leaving out the Gaussian …
In this paper parabolic random partial differential equations and parabolic stochastic partial differential equations driven by a Wiener process are considered. A deterministic, tensorized evolution equation for the second moment and the covariance of the solutions of the parabolic stochastic partial differential equations is derived. Well-posedness of a space-time weak variational formulation of this tensorized equation is established.
In this paper, we generalize to Gaussian Volterra processes the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of non linear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) and we establish the relation between the non linear BSDE and the partial differential equation (PDE). A comparison theorem for the solution of the BSDE is proved and the continuity of its law is studied.
We establish a monotonicity property in the space variable for the solutions of an initial boundary value problem concerned with the parabolic partial differential equation connected with super-Brownian motion.
In this article, we study elliptic stochastic partial differential equations with two reflect- ing walls h1 and h2, driven by multiplicative noise. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions are established.

This paper deals with linear stochastic partial differential equations with variable coefficients driven by Lévy white noise. We first derive an existence theorem for integral transforms of Lévy white noise and prove the existence of generalized and mild solutions of second order elliptic partial differential equations. Furthermore, we discuss the generalized electric Schrödinger operator for different potential functions $V$.
We trace the evolution of the theory of stochastic partial differential equations from the foundation to its development, until the recent solution of long-standing problems on well-posedness of the KPZ equation and the stochastic quantization in dimension three.
In this paper, we establish the Freidlin-Wentzell's large deviations for quasilinear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative noise, which are neither monotone nor locally monotone. The proof is based on the weak convergence approach.
In this paper, we establish a central limit theorem (CLT) and the moderate deviation principles (MDP) for a class of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations driven by multiplicative noise on a bounded domain. The main results can be applied to stochastic partial differential equations of various types such as the stochastic Burgers equation and the reaction-diffusion equations perturbed by space-time white noise.
In this paper, we establish a small time large deviation principles for the quasilinear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative noise, which are neither monotone nor locally monotone.
We prove the large deviations principle (LDP) for the law of the solutions to a class of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations driven by multiplicative noise. Our proof is based on the weak convergence approach and significantly improves earlier methods.
We prove a priori estimates in $L_\infty$ for a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential equations. The estimates are obtained independently of the ellipticity constant $\varepsilon$ and thus imply analogous estimates for degenerate quasilinear stochastic partial differential equations, such as the stochastic porous medium equation.
We construct an unbiased estimator for function value evaluated at the solution of a partial differential equation with random coefficients. We show that the variance and expected computational cost of our estimator are finite and our estimator is unsensitive to the problem dimension so that it can be applied in problems across various disciplines. For the error analysis, we connect the parabolic partial differential equations with the expectations of stochastic differential equations and perform rough path estimation.
In this paper, we deal with a class of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs, in short) involving subdifferential operator of a convex function and driven by Teugels martingales associated with a Lévy process. We show the existence and uniqueness result by means of Yosida approximation. As an application, we give the existence of stochastic viscosity solution for a class of multivalued stochastic partial differential-integral equations (MSPIDEs, in short).
In this paper we study random flights in R^d with displacements possessing Dirichlet distributions of two different types and uniformly oriented. The randomization of the number of displacements has the form of a generalized Poisson process whose parameters depend on the dimension d. We prove that the distributions of the point X(t) and Y(t), t \geq 0, performing the random flights (with the first and second form of Dirichlet intertimes) are related to Klein-Gordon-type partial differential equations. Our analysis is based on McBride theory of integer powers of hyper-Bessel operators. A specia…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of semi-linear degenerate backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs in short) under general settings without technical assumptions on the coefficients. For the solution of semi-linear degenerate BSPDE, we first give a proof for its existence and uniqueness, as well as regularity. Then the connection between semi-linear degenerate BSPDEs and forward backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs in short) is established, which can be regarded as an extension of Feynman-Kac formula to non-Markov frame.
This paper is devoted to proving the strong averaging principle for slow-fast stochastic partial differential equations with locally monotone coefficients, where the slow component is a stochastic partial differential equations with locally monotone coefficients and the fast component is a stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with strongly monotone coefficients. The result is applicable to a large class of examples, such as the stochastic porous medium equation, the stochastic $p$-Laplace equation, the stochastic Burgers type equation and the stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equation, …
We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solution of a Neumann boundary problem for an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE for short) with a singular divergence term which can only be understood in a weak sense. A probabilistic approach is applied by studying the backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE for short) corresponding to the PDE.
This work is devoted to deriving the Onsager-Machlup action functional for stochastic partial differential equations with (non-Gaussian) Levy process as well as Gaussian Brownian motion. This is achieved by applying the Girsanov transformation for probability measures and then by a path representation. This enables the investigation of the most probable transition path for infinite dimensional stochastic dynamical systems modeled by stochastic partial differential equations, by minimizing the Onsager-Machlup action functional.
We prove an existence and uniqueness result for the obstacle problem for quasilinear stochastic integral-partial differential equations. Our method is based on the probabilistic interpretation of the solution using backward doubly SDEs with jumps.
In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for a type of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with locally monotone coefficients driven by Lévy noise. The weak convergence method plays an important role.
Stochastic partial differential equations of second order with two unknown parameters are studied. Based on ergodicity, two suitable families of minimum constrast estimators are introduced. Strong consistency and asymptotic normality of estimators are proved. The results are applied to hyperbolic equations perturbed by Brownian noise.
In this paper, we study a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) driven by space-time fractional noises. Our method consists in studying first the nonlocal SPDEs and showing then the convergence of the family of these equations and the limit gives the solution to the SPDE.
We propose a nonlinear forward Feynman-Kac type equation, which represents the solution of a non-conservative semilinear parabolic Partial Differential Equations (PDE). We show in particular existence and uniqueness. The solution of that type of equation can be approached via a weighted particle system.
By using the technique of the Zvonkin's transformation and the classical Khasminkii's time discretization method, we prove the averaging principle for slow-fast stochastic partial differential equations with bounded and Hölder continuous drift coefficients. An example is also provided to explain our result.
In this paper, we study backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions and Poisson process (BDSDEP in short) with non-Lipschitz coefficients on random time interval. The probabilistic interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential-integral equations (SPDIEs in short) is tthe solutionBDSDEP. Under non-Lipschitz conditions, the existence and uniqueness results for measurable solutions of BDSDEP are established via the smoothing technique. Then, the continuous dependence for solutions of BDSDEP is derived. Finally, the prob…
In this paper, we introduce a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with fractional time-derivatives, and study the $L_2$-theory of the equations. This class of SPDEs can be used to describe random effects on transport of particles in medium with thermal memory or particles subject to sticking and trapping.
This article introduces the splitting method to systems responding to rough paths as external stimuli. The focus is on nonlinear partial differential equations with rough noise but we also cover rough differential equations. Applications to stochastic partial differential equations arising in control theory and nonlinear filtering are given.
In this Note, we present a Calderón-type uniqueness theorem on the Cauchy problem of stochastic partial differential equations. To this aim, we introduce the concept of stochastic pseudo-differential operators, and establish their boundedness and other fundamental properties. The proof of our uniqueness theorem is based on a new Carleman-type estimate.
Under general conditions we show that the solution of a stochastic parabolic partial differential equation of the form \[ \partial_t u = \mathrm{div} (A \nabla u) + f(t,x, u) + g_i (t,x,u) \dot{w}^i_t \] is almost surely Hölder continuous in both space and time variables.
Backward stochastic partial differential equations of parabolic type with variable coefficients are considered in smooth domains. Existence and uniqueness results are given in weighted Sobolev spaces allowing the derivatives of the solutions to blow up near the boundary.
In this paper, we prove existence, uniqueness and regularity for a class of stochastic partial differential equations with a fractional Laplacian driven by a space-time white noise in dimension one. The equation we consider may also include a reaction term.
In this article, we study the ergodicity of neutral retarded stochastic functional differential equations driven by $α$-regular Volterra process. Based on the equivalence between neutral retarded stochastic functional differential equations and the stochastic evolution equation, we get the ergodicity of neutral retarded stochastic functional differential equations.
We study the "periodic homogenization" for a class of nonlocal partial differential equations of parabolic-type with rapidly oscillating coefficients, related to stochastic differential equations driven by multiplicative isotropic $α$-stable Lévy noise ($1<α<2$) which is nonlinear in the noise component. Our homogenization method is probabilistic. It turns out that, under suitable regularity assumptions, the limit of the solutions satisfies a nonlocal partial differential equation with constant coefficients, which are associated to a symmetric $α$-stable Lévy process.
A large deviation principle is derived for stochastic partial differential equations with slow-fast components. The result shows that the rate function is exactly that of the averaged equation plus the fluctuating deviation which is a stochastic partial differential equation with small Gaussian perturbation. This also confirms the effectiveness of the approximation of the averaged equation plus the fluctuating deviation to the slow-fast stochastic partial differential equations.
Random invariant manifolds are geometric objects useful for understanding complex dynamics under stochastic influences. Under a nonuniform hyperbolicity or a nonuniform exponential dichotomy condition, the existence of random pseudo-stable and pseudo-unstable manifolds for a class of \emph{random} partial differential equations and \emph{stochastic} partial differential equations is shown. Unlike the invariant manifold theory for stochastic \emph{ordinary} differential equations, random norms are not used. The result is then applied to a nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation with …
We construct global-in-time solutions for semilinear parabolic rough partial differential equations. We work on a scale of Banach spaces tailored to the controlled rough path approach and derive suitable a-priori estimates of the solution which do not contain quadratic terms.
We explore Ito stochastic differential equations where the drift term possibly depends on the infinite past. Assuming the existence of a Lyapunov function, we prove the existence of a stationary solution assuming only minimal continuity of the coefficients. Uniqueness of the stationary solution is proven if the dependence on the past decays sufficiently fast. The results of this paper are then applied to stochastically forced dissipative partial differential equations such as the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation and stochastic Ginsburg-Landau equation.
