Suppose that ${u(t,, x)}_{t >0, x inmathbb{R}^d}$ is the solution to a $d$-dimensional stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise that is white in time and has a spatially homogeneous covariance that satisfies Dalangs condition. The purpose of this paper is to establish quantitative central limit theorems for spatial averages of the form $N^{-d} int_{[0,N]^d} g(u(t,,x)), mathrm{d} x$, as $Nrightarrowinfty$, where $g$ is a Lipschitz-continuous function or belongs to a class of locally-Lipschitz functions, using a combination of the Malliavin calculus and Steins method for normal approximations. Our results include a central limit theorem for the {it Hopf-Cole} solution to KPZ equation. We also establish a functional central limit theorem for these spatial averages.
We obtain explicit error bounds for the $d$-dimensional normal approximation on hyperrectangles for a random vector that has a Stein kernel, or admits an exchangeable pair coupling, or is a non-linear statistic of independent random variables or a sum of $n$ locally dependent random vectors. We assume the approximating normal distribution has a non-singular covariance matrix. The error bounds vanish even when the dimension $d$ is much larger than the sample size $n$. We prove our main results using the approach of Gotze (1991) in Steins method, together with modifications of an estimate of Anderson, Hall and Titterington (1998) and a smoothing inequality of Bhattacharya and Rao (1976). For sums of $n$ independent and identically distributed isotropic random vectors having a log-concave density, we obtain an error bound that is optimal up to a $log n$ factor. We also discuss an application to multiple Wiener-It^{o} integrals.
We study limit theorems for time-dependent averages of the form $X_t:=frac{1}{2L(t)}int_{-L(t)}^{L(t)} u(t, x) , dx$, as $tto infty$, where $L(t)=exp(lambda t)$ and $u(t, x)$ is the solution to a stochastic heat equation on $mathbb{R}_+times mathbb{R}$ driven by space-time white noise with $u_0(x)=1$ for all $xin mathbb{R}$. We show that for $X_t$ (i) the weak law of large numbers holds when $lambda>lambda_1$, (ii) the strong law of large numbers holds when $lambda>lambda_2$, (iii) the central limit theorem holds when $lambda>lambda_3$, but fails when $lambda <lambda_4leq lambda_3$, (iv) the quantitative central limit theorem holds when $lambda>lambda_5$, where $lambda_i$s are positive constants depending on the moment Lyapunov exponents of $u(t, x)$.
We combine Steins method with Malliavin calculus in order to obtain explicit bounds in the multidimensional normal approximation (in the Wasserstein distance) of functionals of Gaussian fields. Our results generalize and refine the main findings by Peccati and Tudor (2005), Nualart and Ortiz-Latorre (2007), Peccati (2007) and Nourdin and Peccati (2007b, 2008); in particular, they apply to approximations by means of Gaussian vectors with an arbitrary, positive definite covariance matrix. Among several examples, we provide an application to a functional version of the Breuer-Major CLT for fields subordinated to a fractional Brownian motion.
Let ${u(t,,x)}_{tge 0, xin mathbb{R}^d}$ denote the solution of a $d$-dimensional nonlinear stochastic heat equation that is driven by a Gaussian noise, white in time with a homogeneous spatial covariance that is a finite Borel measure $f$ and satisfies Dalangs condition. We prove two general functional central limit theorems for occupation fields of the form $N^{-d} int_{mathbb{R}^d} g(u(t,,x)) psi(x/N), mathrm{d} x$ as $Nrightarrow infty$, where $g$ runs over the class of Lipschitz functions on $mathbb{R}^d$ and $psiin L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$. The proof uses Poincare-type inequalities, Malliavin calculus, compactness arguments, and Paul Levys classical characterization of Brownian motion as the only mean zero, continuous Levy process. Our result generalizes central limit theorems of Huang et al cite{HuangNualartViitasaari2018,HuangNualartViitasaariZheng2019} valid when $g(u)=u$ and $psi = mathbf{1}_{[0,1]^d}$.
We define a multi-group version of the mean-field or Curie-Weiss spin model. For this model, we show how, analogously to the classical (single-group) model, the three temperature regimes are defined. Then we use the method of moments to determine for each regime how the vector of the group magnetisations behaves asymptotically. Some possible applications to social or political sciences are discussed.
