This paper is a further investigation of the generalized $N$-urn Ehrenfest model introduced in cite{Xue2020}. A moderate deviation principle from the hydrodynamic limit of the model is derived. The proof of this main result follows a routine procedur
e introduced in cite{Kipnis1989}, where a replacement lemma plays the key role. To prove the replacement lemma, the large deviation principle of the model given in cite{Xue2020} is utilized.
In this paper we are concerned with a generalized $N$-urn Ehrenfest model, where balls keeps independent random walks between $N$ boxes uniformly laid on $[0, 1]$. After a proper scaling of the transition rates function of the aforesaid random walk,
we derive the hydrodynamic limit of the model, i.e., the law of large numbers which the empirical measure of the model follows, under an assumption where the initial number of balls in each box independently follows a Poisson distribution. We show that the empirical measure of the model converges weakly to a deterministic measure with density driven by an integral equation. Furthermore, we derive non-equilibrium fluctuation of the model, i.e, the central limit theorem from the above hydrodynamic limit. We show that the non-equilibrium fluctuation of the model is driven by a measure-valued time-inhomogeneous generalized O-U process. At last, we prove a large deviation principle from the hydrodynamic limit under an assumption where the transition rates function from $[0, 1]times [0, 1]$ to $[0, +infty)$ of the aforesaid random walk is a product of two marginal functions from $[0, 1]$ to $[0, +infty)$.
This paper is a further investigation of the problem studied in cite{xue2020hydrodynamics}, where the authors proved a law of large numbers for the empirical measure of the weakly asymmetric normalized binary contact path process on $mathbb{Z}^d,, d
geq 3$, and then conjectured that a central limit theorem should hold under a non-equilibrium initial condition. We prove that the aforesaid conjecture is true when the dimension $d$ of the underlying lattice and the infection rate $lambda$ of the process are sufficiently large.
In this paper, we are concerned with the stochastic susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model on the complete graph with $n$ vertices. This model has two parameters, which are the infection rate and the recovery rate. By utilizing the t
heory of density-dependent Markov chains, we give consistent estimations of the above two parameters as $n$ grows to infinity according to the sample path of the model in a finite time interval. Furthermore, we establish the central limit theorem (CLT) and the moderate deviation principle (MDP) of our estimations. As an application of our CLT, reject regions of hypothesis testings of two parameters are given. As an application of our MDP, confidence intervals with lengths converging to $0$ while confidence levels converging to $1$ are given as $n$ grows to infinity.
We consider the one dimensional symmetric simple exclusion process with a slow bond. In this model, particles cross each bond at rate $N^2$, except one particular bond, the slow bond, where the rate is $N$. Above, $N$ is the scaling parameter. This m
odel has been considered in the context of hydrodynamic limits, fluctuations and large deviations. We investigate moderate deviations from hydrodynamics and obtain a moderate deviation principle.
In this paper, we are concerned with SIR epidemics in a random environment on complete graphs, where every edges are assigned with i.i.d. weights. Our main results give large and moderate deviation principles of sample paths of this model.
Privacy amplification (PA) is the art of distilling a highly secret key from a partially secure string by public discussion. It is a vital procedure in quantum key distribution (QKD) to produce a theoretically unconditional secure key. The throughput
of PA has become a bottleneck of the high-speed discrete variable QKD (DV-QKD) system. In this paper, a high-speed modular arithmetic hash PA scheme with GNU multiple precision (GMP) arithmetic library is presented. This scheme is implemented on two different central processing unit (CPU) platforms. The experimental results demon-strate that the throughput of this scheme achieves 260Mbps on the block size of 10^6 and 140Mbps on the block size of 10^8. This is the highest-speed recorded PA scheme on CPU platform to the authors knowledge.
The density-dependent Markov chain (DDMC) introduced in cite{Kurtz1978} is a continuous time Markov process applied in fields such as epidemics, chemical reactions and so on. In this paper, we give moderate deviation principles of paths of DDMC under
some generally satisfied assumptions. The proofs for the lower and upper bounds of our main result utilize an exponential martingale and a generalized version of Girsanovs theorem. The exponential martingale is defined according to the generator of DDMC.
In this paper we are concerned with the binary contact path process introduced in cite{Gri1983} on the lattice $mathbb{Z}^d$ with $dgeq 3$. Our main result gives a hydrodynamic limit of the process, which is the solution to a heat equation. The proof
of our result follows the strategy introduced in cite{kipnis+landim99} to give hydrodynamic limit of the SEP model with some details modified since the states of all vertices are not uniformly bounded for the binary contact path process. In the modifications, the theory of the linear system introduced in cite{Lig1985} is utilized.
In this paper we are concerned with the two-stage contact process introduced in cite{Krone1999} on a high-dimensional lattice. By comparing this process with an auxiliary model which is a linear system, we obtain two limit theorems for this process a
s the dimension of the lattice grows to infinity. The first theorem is about the upper invariant measure of the process. The second theorem is about asymptotic behavior of the critical value of the process. These two theorems can be considered as extensions of their counterparts for the basic contact processes proved in cite{Grif1983} and cite{Schonmann1986}.
