How is Kolmogorov forward equation derived from the theory of semigroup of operators?
In Lamperti's Stochastic Processes, given
a time-homogeneous Markov process $X(t), t\geq 0$ with Markov transition kernel $p_t(x,E)$ and state space being a measurable space $(S, \mathcal{F})$,
a ...

Smoothness of resolvent of the infinitesimal generator of an Ito diffusion acting on bounded continuous function
Let $dX_t=\sigma(X_t)\,dW_t+\mu(X_t)\,dt$ be an Ito diffusion with Lipschitz coefficients and $\sigma(x)>0$. Let $f(x)$ be a continuous and bounded and non decreasing function. Can we prove that ...

Feynman-Kac formula for lattice heat equation with non-diagonal potential
Suppose that $X$ is the continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on the lattice $\mathbb Z^d$ (i.e., a simple symmetric random walk with i.i.d. exponential jump times), and let
$$u(t,x):=\mathbf E\...

Stochastic Approximation in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space
Consider an iterative algorithm with incremental updates
\begin{align}
x_{t+1} = x_t + \alpha_t \cdot [ h(x_t) + M_{t+1}],
\end{align}
where $\{x_t \}_{t \geq 0}$ is in a reproducing kernel Hilbert ...

Approximation of function in general measure space
Let $\mu$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure on $R^n$ ($n\geq 1$) and $(E,d)$ be a complete metric space. For any measurable function $f: R^n\to E$ with
$$
\int_{R^n}d(f(x),f(x_0))\mu(dx)<\infty,\quad \...
