The aim of this paper is to establish a global asymptotic equivalence between the experiments generated by the discrete (high frequency) or continuous observation of a path of a L{é}vy process and a Gaussian white noise experiment observed up to a time T, with T tending to $\infty$. These approximations are given in the sense of the Le Cam distance, under some smoothness conditions on the unknown L{é}vy density. All the asymptotic equivalences are established by constructing explicit Markov kernels that can be used to reproduce one experiment from the other.
We prove the global asymptotic equivalence between the experiments generated by the discrete (high frequency) or continuous observation of a path of a time inhomogeneous jump-diffusion process and a Gaussian white noise experiment. Here, the considered parameter is the drift function, and we suppose that the observation time $T$ tends to $\infty$. The approximation is given in the sense of the Le Cam $Δ$-distance, under smoothness conditions on the unknown drift function. These asymptotic equivalences are established by constructing explicit Markov kernels that can be used to reproduce one exp…
In the present paper, we obtain limit theorems for a catogary of Hull-White models with Hawkes jumps including law of large numbers, central limit theorem, and large deviations. In the field of interest rate modeling, it is meaningful in characterizing a long-term rate of return.
We study the notions of mild solution and generalized solution to a linear stochastic partial differential equation driven by a pure jump symmetric Lévy white noise. We identify conditions for existence for these two kinds of solutions, and we identify conditions under which they are essentially equivalent. We establish a necessary condition for the existence of a random field solution to a linear SPDE, and we apply this result to the linear stochastic heat, wave and Poisson equations driven by a symmetric $α$-stable noise.
We establish the global asymptotic equivalence between a pure jumps Lévy process $\{X_t\}$ on the time interval $[0,T]$ with unknown Lévy measure $ν$ belonging to a non-parametric class and the observation of $2m^2$ Poisson independent random variables with parameters linked with the Lévy measure $ν$. The equivalence result is asymptotic as $m$ tends to infinity. The time $T$ is kept fixed and the sample path is continuously observed. This result justifies the idea that, from a statistical point of view, knowing how many jumps fall into a grid of intervals gives asymptotically the same amount …
We study the convergence of $N-$particle systems described by SDEs driven by Brownian motion and Poisson random measure, where the coefficients depend on the empirical measure of the system. Every particle jumps with a jump rate depending on its position and on the empirical measure of the system. Jumps are simultaneous, that is, at each jump time, all particles of the system are affected by this jump and receive a random jump height that is centred and scaled in $N^{-1/2}.$ This particular scaling implies that the limit of the empirical measures of the system is random, describing the conditi…
The aim of this paper is to present an extension of the well-known as-ymptotic equivalence between density estimation experiments and a Gaussian white noise model. Our extension consists in enlarging the nonparametric class of the admissible densities. More precisely, we propose a way to allow densities defined on any subinterval of R, and also some discontinuous or unbounded densities are considered (so long as the discontinuity and unboundedness patterns are somehow known a priori). The concept of equivalence that we shall adopt is in the sense of the Le Cam distance between statistical mode…
Consider a random walker on the nonnegative lattice, moving in continuous time, whose positive transition intensity is proportional to the time the walker spends at the origin. In this way, the walker is a jump process with a stochastic and adapted jump intensity. We show that, upon Brownian scaling, the sequence of such processes converges to Brownian motion with inert drift (BMID). BMID was introduced by Frank Knight in 2001 and generalized by White in 2007. This confirms a conjecture of Burdzy and White in 2008 in the one-dimensional setting.
We study some jumping SDE and the corresponding Fokker-Planck (or Kolmogorov forward) equation, which is a non-local PDE. We assume only some measurability and growth conditions on the coefficients. We prove that for any weak solution $(f_t)_{t\in [0,T]}$ of the PDE, there exists a weak solution to the SDE of which the time marginals are given by $(f_t)_{t\in[0,T]}$. As a corollary, we deduce that for any given initial condition, existence for the PDE is equivalent to weak existence for the SDE and uniqueness in law for the SDE implies uniqueness for the PDE. This extends some ideas of Figalli…
We provide explicit sufficient conditions for absolute continuity and equivalence between the distributions of two jump-diffusion processes that can explode and be killed by a potential.
It is proved the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution to the system of stochastic differential equations describing a non-autonomous stochastic predator-prey model with a modified version of Leslie-Gower and Holling-type II functional response disturbed by white noise, centered and non-centered Poisson noises. We obtain sufficient conditions of stochastic ultimate boundedness, stochastic permanence, non-persistence in the mean, weak persistence in the mean, and extinction of the solution to the considered system.
After defining non-Gaussian Lévy processes for two-sided time, stochastic differential equations with such Lévy processes are considered. Solution paths for these stochastic differential equations have countable jump discontinuities in time. Topological equivalence (or conjugacy) for such an Itô stochastic differential equation and its transformed random differential equation is established. Consequently, a stochastic Hartman-Grobman theorem is proved for the linearization of the Itô stochastic differential equation. Furthermore, for Marcus stochastic differential equations,this topological eq…
The existence and uniqueness of a global positive solution is proven for the system of stochastic differential equations describing a nonautonomous stochastic density dependent predator-prey model with Holling-type II functional response disturbed by white noise, centered and non-centered Poisson noises. Sufficient conditions are obtained for stochastic ultimate boundedness, stochastic permanence, non-persistence in the mean, weak persistence in the mean and extinction of a population densities in the considered stochastic predator-prey model.
The existence and uniqueness are proved for the global positive solution to the system of stochastic differential equations describing a two-species mutualism model disturbed by the white noise, the centered and non-centered Poisson noises. We obtain sufficient conditions for stochastic ultimate boundedness, stochastic permanence, nonpersistence in the mean, strong persistence in the mean and extinction of the solution to the considered system.
In this paper we develop a white noise framework for the study of stochastic partial differential equations driven by a d-parameter (pure jump) Levy white noise. As an example we use this theory to solve the stochastic Poisson equation with respect to Levy white noise for any dimension d. The solution is a stochastic distribution process given explicitly. We also show that if d\leq 3, then this solution can be represented as a classical random field in L2(μ), where μis the probability law of the Levy process. The starting point of our theory is a chaos expansion in terms of generalized Charlie…
We demonstrate that two Ornstein--Uhlenbeck processes, that is, solutions to certain stochastic differential equations that are driven by a Lévy process L have equivalent laws as long as the eigenvalues of the covariance operator associated to the Wiener part of L are strictly positive. Moreover, we show that in the case where the underlying Lévy process is a purely jump process, which means that neither it has a Wiener part nor the drift, the absolute continuity of the law of one solution with respect to another forces equality of the solutions almost surely.
In this paper, based on the white noise analysis of square integrable pure-jump Levy process given by [1], we define the formal derivative of fractional Levy process defined by the square integrable pure-jump Levy process as the fractional Levy noises by considering fractional Levy process as the generalized functional of Levy process, and then we define the Skorohod integral with respect to the fractional Levy process. Moreover, we propose a class of stochastic Volterra equations driven by fractional Levy noises and investigate the existence and uniqueness of their solutions; In addition, we …
We consider a white noise perturbation of dynamics in the neighborhood of a heteroclinic network. We show that under the logarithmic time rescaling the diffusion converges in distributon in a special topology to a piecewise constant process that jumps between saddle points along the heteroclinic orbits of the network. We also obtain precise asymptotics for the exit measure for a domain containing the starting point of the diffusion.
We develop a stochastic calculus for processes which are built by convoluting a pure jump, zero expectation Lévy process with a Volterra-type kernel. This class of processes contains, for example, fractional Lévy processes as studied by Marquardt [Bernoulli 12 (2006) 1090--1126.] The integral which we introduce is a Skorokhod integral. Nonetheless, we avoid the technicalities from Malliavin calculus and white noise analysis and give an elementary definition based on expectations under change of measure. As a main result, we derive an Itô formula which separates the different contributions from…
We consider a two-node fluid network with batch arrivals of random size having a heavy-tailed distribution. We are interested in the tail asymptotics for the stationary distribution of a two-dimensional queue-length process. The tail asymptotics have been well studied for two-dimensional reflecting processes where jumps have either a bounded or an unbounded light-tailed distribution. However, presence of heavy tails totally changes the asymptotics. Here we focus on the case of strong stability where both nodes release fluid with sufficiently high speeds to minimise their mutual influence. We s…
We analyze the spatial asymptotic properties of the solution to the stochastic heat equation driven by an additive Lévy space-time white noise. For fixed time $t > 0$ and space $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$ we determine the exact tail behavior of the solution both for light-tailed and for heavy-tailed Lévy jump measures. Based on these asymptotics we determine for any fixed time $t> 0$ the almost-sure growth rate of the solution as $|x| \to \infty$.
