Conditions for absorption
Let $X$ be a Markov chain with countable state space $S$ and transition kernel $P$, and let $h \colon S \to [0,1]$ be a sub-harmonic or super-harmonic function. Assume that for all $\varepsilon >0$ ...

Convergence of SDEs
Suppose that $\{a_n(x)\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of real-valued Lipschitz functions with domain $\mathbb{R}^d$, which converges $m$-a.e. to a Lipschitz function $a$. Suppose that $b$ is a ...

Submartingales bounded in $L^p$, $p>1$
Let $p>1$ be a real number. It is known that if $(X_n)_{n\geq 0}$ is a martingale bounded in $L^p$ (i.e. $\sup\{\mathbb{E}(|X_n|^p), n\geq 0\} < +\infty$ ), then $(X_n)_{n\geq 0}$ converges a....

Convergence of an implicitly defined sequence of random variables
Let $\{X_n\}_{n\ge 1}$ be a sequence of independent identically distributed Poisson random variables with mean $\lambda^*$. Consider a sequence of random variables $\{\hat{\lambda}_{n}\}_{n\ge 1}$ ...

Berry-Esseen bound for martingale sequence with varying and dependent variances
Let $(X_{1},\ldots,X_{k},\ldots)$ be a martingale difference sequence, i.e.
$$
E[X_{k}|\mathcal{F}_{k-1}] = 0
$$
where $\mathcal{F}_{k-1}$ is the $\sigma$-algebra filtration at $k-1$.
Let $\sigma_{...

Pointwise convergence of ergodic averages of unconventional conditional expectations
Let $(X_i,Y_i)_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ be a finite-valued stationary process whose $\sigma$-algebra of tail events is trivial. Let $\mathcal{F}_n^m$ be the $\sigma$-algebra generated by $X_n,\dots,X_m$ ($n,...

Does martingale convergence hold for arbitrary time?
Let $\{\mathcal B_i:i\in I\}$ be a family of $\sigma$-algebras (over the same set $\Omega$) which are totally ordered by inclusion, in the sense that for any $i,j\in I$ either $\mathcal B_i\subset\...

When is the limit of Martingales a Martingale?
I have a sequence of continuous time random variables $X_n(t)$ where $t \in [0,1]$. Suppose that there is a filtration $F_t$ such that for each $n$, $X_n$ is a martingale with respect to this ...
