Ornstein Uhlenbeck process with discontinuous drift

If you consider the process $Y_t=|X_t|,$ Ito's formula gives $$ dY_t=\sqrt{2}dB_t+\frac{dt}{Y_t}-l(\theta_t)Y_t\,dt, $$ where $\theta_t$ is an argument of $X_t$, $l(\theta_t)\in \{1,2,3\}$ is given b …

PDE for the probability of Brownian motion staying in an area (reference request)

The easiest way to show this is to check that if $\hat{u}$ is a bounded solution to your boundary value problem, then $\hat{u}(t-s,B_{s\wedge\tau}+x)$ is a martingale, where $\tau$ is the minimum of t …

Are the paths of the Brownian motion contained in a suitable RKHS?

(I will work with the Brownian bridge instead). This is to explain why there is no such RKHS of the form $$ W=\left\{f(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \hat{f}_k\sin(\pi k x):\sum_{k=1}^\infty w_k\hat{f}^2_k<\inf …

Sign of error in the central limit theorem

There are several very different cases here. The first case is when $\mathbb{E}(X_i)=\mathbb{E}(Y_i)=0$, which in your case means that the variables are symmetric. In this case, $P(\sum_{i=0}^{kn} X_i …

Recurrence of Drifted Brownian Motion Conditioned to not hit Moving Barrier

It is transient. Consider the process $Y_t=R_t-X_t$; it is a Brownian motion on the positive half-line with a constant negative drift $\nu-\mu$. The probability that it does not hit the origin up to t …

Full version of Cameron Martin theorem for Brownian motion

Let $\varphi$ be a smooth function such that $\varphi(x)=0$ for $x\leq 0$ and $\varphi(x)=1$ for $x\geq 1$, and $0\leq\varphi(x)\leq 1$ else. If $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ are is the first times $B_t$ hits …

Alternate proof of Levy’s characterisation of Brownian motion

Fix $A>0$; we will be proving that $X_t\stackrel{\mathcal D}= B_t$ on $[0;A].$ Let $T^{(m)}$ be an a.s. increasing sequence of stopping times such that $T^{(m)}\to\infty$ almost surely, and for each $ …

Asymptotic expansion of the renewal function for an exponential growing population

For any $\theta>0$, if you substitute $M(t)=e^{\theta t}N(t),$ then the equation becomes $$ N(t)=\int_0^\infty N(t-\tau)ae^{-\theta\tau}f(\tau)d\tau. $$ If $a>1$, then there is, by continuity, exactl …

Abstract Wiener spaces for pinned processes (e.g., Brownian Bridge)

A Gaussian process can be thought of as a "standard Gaussian" on its Cameron-Martin space $\mathcal{M}$. That is, given an orthonormal basis $\psi_1,\psi_2, \dots$ of the Cameron-Martin space, the pro …

How to construct a Poisson process not based on Lebesgue measure?

Another construction, which does not use the structure of $\mathbb{R}$ and works for a sigma-finite measure $\nu$ on arbitrary measurable space $\Omega$, is as follows: let $\Omega=\bigcup_i E_i$ with …

Particularities about the honeycomb lattice for the computation of connectivity constant

What fails for other lattices is that there seems to be no parafermionic observable with properties as nice as for hexagonal lattice; specifically, there is no analog of Lemma 1. In the definition of …

On the "uniform continuity" of Brownian motion under expectation

For $n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ and $0\leq i< 2^n$, denote $$ X_{n,i}=\sup_{t\in[i2^{-n}, (i+1)2^{-n}]}{|W_t-W_{i2^n}|}. $$ Let $n$ be such that $2^{-{n}}<|\Delta t|\leq 2^{-{n+1}}$. Then, $$\sup_{s,t\i …

Schwartz regularity for the density of a stochastic process

Using the representation in terms of i. i. d. Gaussians $\xi_1,\xi_2,\dots,$ $$ B_t=\sqrt{2}\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^{n+1}\xi_n\frac{\sin \pi \left(n-\frac12\right)t}{\pi \left(n-\frac12\right)}, $$ we …

Stochastic processes with convergent fi-di distributions but no tightness

How about $\min\{n\cdot \mathrm{dist}(t,X),1\}$, where $X$ is your favorite point process, say, the Poisson process? For an example with Markov property, consider a continuous time Markov chain with …

Exponential or sub-exponential ergodicity?

The rate is exponential. First, let me show that $|X(t)|$ (which is a reflected BM with constant drift towards the origin) has exponential rate of convergence. I do it by a coupling argument: you run …
