Most physical systems are modelled by an ordinary or a partial differential equation, like the n-body problem in celestial mechanics. In some cases, for example when studying the long term behaviour of the solar system or for complex systems, there exist elements which can influence the dynamics of the system which are not well modelled or even known. One way to take these problems into account consists of looking at the dynamics of the system on a larger class of objects, that are eventually stochastic. In this paper, we develop a theory for the stochastic embedding of ordinary differential equations. We apply this method to Lagrangian systems. In this particular case, we extend many results of classical mechanics namely, the least action principle, the Euler-Lagrange equations, and Noether's theorem. We also obtain a Hamiltonian formulation for our stochastic Lagrangian systems. Many applications are discussed at the end of the paper.
Existence of random dynamical systems for a class of coalescing stochastic flows on $\mathbb{R}$ is proved. A new state space for coalescing flows is built. As particular cases coalescing flows of solutions to stochastic differential equations independent before meeting time and coalescing Harris flows are considered.
We use the mean exit time to quantify macroscopic dynamical behaviors of stochastic dynamical systems driven by tempered Lévy fluctuations, which are solutions of nonlocal elliptic equations. Firstly, we construct a new numerical scheme to compute and solve the mean exit time associated with the one dimensional stochastic system. Secondly, we extend the analytical and numerical results to two dimensional case: horizontal-vertical and isotropic case. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the presented schemes with numerical experiments in several examples.
Fokker-Planck equations describe time evolution of probability densities of stochastic dynamical systems and play an important role in quantifying propagation and evolution of uncertainty. Although Fokker-Planck equations can be written explicitly for nonlinear dynamical systems excited by Gaussian white noise, they are not available in general for nonlinear dynamical systems excited by multiplicative non-Gaussian white noise. Marcus stochastic differential equations are often appropriate models in engineering and physics for stochastic dynamical systems excited by non-Gaussian white noise. In…
Building on results obtained in [GVRS], we prove Local Stable and Unstable Manifold Theorems for nonlinear, singular stochastic delay differential equations. The main tools are rough paths theory and a semi-invertible Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem for cocycles acting on measurable fields of Banach spaces obtained in [GVR].
We show that singular stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) induce cocycle maps on a field of Banach spaces. A general Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem on fields of Banach spaces is proved and applied to linear SDDEs. In Part II of this article, we use our results to prove a stable manifold theorem for non-linear singular SDDEs.
We present a new construction of a Skorohod embedding, namely, given a probability measure mu with zero expectation and finite variance, we construct an integrable stopping time T adapted to a filtration F_t, such that W_t has the law mu, where W_t is a standard Wiener process adapted to the same filtration. We find several sufficient conditions for the stopping time T to be bounded or to have a sub-exponential tail. In particular, our embedding seems rather natural for the case that mu is a log-concave measure and the tail behaviour of $T$ admits some tight bounds in that case. Our embedding …
The work is about multiscale stochastic dynamical systems driven by Lévy processes. First, we prove that these systems can approximate low-dimensional systems on random invariant manifolds. Second, we establish that nonlinear filterings of multiscale stochastic dynamical systems also approximate that of reduced low-dimensional systems. Finally, we investigate the reduction for $\e=0$ and obtain that these reduced systems does not approximate these multiscale stochastic dynamical systems.
We investigate the bifurcation phenomena for stochastic systems with multiplicative Gaussian noise, by examining qualitative changes in mean phase portraits. Starting from the Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density function of solution processes, we compute the mean orbits and mean equilibrium states. A change in the number or stability type, when a parameter varies, indicates a stochastic bifurcation. Specifically, we study stochastic bifurcation for three prototypical dynamical systems (i.e., saddle-node, transcritical, and pitchfork systems) under multiplicative Gaussian noise, …
In this paper we consider a diffusion process obtained as a small random perturbation of a dynamical system attracted to a stable equilibrium point. The drift and the diffusive perturbation are assumed to evolve slowly in time. We describe the asymptotics of the time it takes the process to exit a given domain and the limiting distribution of the exit point.
In this paper we introduce a procedure that, given a solution to the Yang-Baxter equation as input, produces a stochastic (or Markovian) solution to (a possibly dynamical version of) the Yang-Baxter equation. We then apply this "stochasticization procedure" to obtain three new, stochastic solutions to several different forms of the Yang-Baxter equation. The first is a stochastic, elliptic solution to the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation; the second is a stochastic, higher rank solution to the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation; and the third is a stochastic solution to a dynamical variant of the tet…
We introduce a new family of integrable stochastic processes, called \textit{dynamical stochastic higher spin vertex models}, arising from fused representations of Felder's elliptic quantum group $E_{τ, η} (\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. These models simultaneously generalize the stochastic higher spin vertex models, studied by Corwin-Petrov and Borodin-Petrov, and are dynamical in the sense of Borodin's recent stochastic interaction round-a-face models. We provide explicit contour integral identities for observables of these models (when run under specific types of initial data) that characterize the dis…
