We give a generalization to a continuous setting of the classic Markov chain tree Theorem. In particular, we consider an irreducible diffusion process on a metric graph. The unique invariant measure has an atomic component on the vertices and an absolutely continuous part on the edges. We show that the corresponding density at $x$ can be represented by a normalized superposition of the weights associated to metric arborescences oriented toward the point $x$. The weight of each oriented metric arborescence is obtained by the exponential of integrals of the form $intfrac{b}{sigma^2}$ along the oriented edges time a weight for each node determined by the local orientation of the arborescence around the node time the inverse of the diffusion coefficient at $x$. The metric arborescences are obtained cutting the original metric graph along some edges.
We study a class of Markov chains that model the evolution of a quantum system subject to repeated measurements. Each Markov chain in this class is defined by a measure on the space of matrices. It is then given by a random product of correlated matrices taken from the support of the defining measure. We give natural conditions on this support that imply that the Markov chain admits a unique invariant probability measure. We moreover prove the geometric convergence towards this invariant measure in the Wasserstein metric. Standard techniques from the theory of products of random matrices cannot be applied under our assumptions, and new techniques are developed, such as maximum likelihood-type estimations.
This paper proves the strong parabolic Harnack inequality for local weak solutions to the heat equation associated with time-dependent (nonsymmetric) bilinear forms. The underlying metric measure Dirichlet space is assumed to satisfy the volume doubling condition, the strong Poincare inequality, and a cutoff Sobolev inequality. The metric is not required to be geodesic. Further results include a weighted Poincare inequality, as well as upper and lower bounds for non-symmetric heat kernels.
We show that the lift zonoid concept for a probability measure on R^d, introduced in (Koshevoy and Mosler, 1997), leads naturally to a one-to one representation of any interior point of the convex hull of the support of a continuous measure as the barycenter w.r.t. to this measure of either of a half-space, or the whole space. We prove the infinite-dimensional generalization of this representation, which is based on the extension of the lift-zonoid concept for a cylindrical probability measure.
We develop the theory of strong stationary duality for diffusion processes on compact intervals. We analytically derive the generator and boundary behavior of the dual process and recover a central tenet of the classical Markov chain theory in the diffusion setting by linking the separation distance in the primal diffusion to the absorption time in the dual diffusion. We also exhibit our strong stationary dual as the natural limiting process of the strong stationary dual sequence of a well chosen sequence of approximating birth-and-death Markov chains, allowing for simultaneous numerical simulations of our primal and dual diffusion processes. Lastly, we show how our new definition of diffusion duality allows the spectral theory of cutoff phenomena to extend naturally from birth-and-death Markov chains to the present diffusion context.
We consider a real-valued diffusion process with a linear jump term driven by a Poisson point process and we assume that the jump amplitudes have a centered density with finite moments. We show upper and lower estimates for the density of the solution in the case that the jump amplitudes follow a Gaussian or Laplacian law. The proof of the lower bound uses a general expression for the density of the solution in terms of the convolution of the density of the continuous part and the jump amplitude density. The upper bound uses an upper tail estimate in terms of the jump amplitude distribution and techniques of the Malliavin calculus in order to bound the density by the tails of the solution. We also extend the lower bounds to the multidimensional case.
