By using large deviation theory that deals with the decay of probabilities of rare events on an exponential scale, we study the longtime behaviors and establish action functionals for scaled Brownian motion and Levy processes with existing finite exponential moments. Based on extended contraction principle, Legendre transform and Levy symbols, we derive the action functionals for stochastic differential equations driven by Levy processes.

In this work we discuss a random Tug-of-War game in graphs where one of the players has the power to decide at each turn whether to play a round of classical random Tug-of-War, or let the other player choose the new game position in exchange of a fixed payoff. We prove that this game has a value using a discrete comparison principle and viscosity tools, as well as probabilistic arguments. This game is related to Jensen's extremal equations, which have a key role in Jensen's celebrated proof of uniqueness of infinity harmonic functions.

In this paper, we are concerned with the nonparametric estimation of an unknown density under censoring. Firstly, we propose a recursive kernel density estimators under censoring, based on a stochastic approximation algorithm. Then, we showed that our recursive estimator is consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. Moreover, we describe and investigate a data-driven bandwidth selection procedure based on normal pilot bandwidth reference distributions. We showed that the proposed recursive estimators can be better than the non-recursive in terms of estimation error and much better in terms of computational costs. We corroborated these theoretical results through a simulation study and on Malaria in Senegalese children dataset.

Using the spectral theorem we compute the Quantum Fourier Transform (or Vacuum Characteristic Function) $langle Phi, e^{itH}Phirangle$ of an observable $H$ defined as a self-adjoint sum of the generators of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, where $Phi$ is a unit vector in a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$. We show how Stone's formula for computing the spectral resolution of a Hilbert space self-adjoint operator, can serve as an alternative to the traditional reliance on splitting (or disentanglement) formulas for the operator exponential.

It is shown that any infinitely divisible distribution μ on R+ gives rise to a class of increasing additive processes we call C-additive processes, where C is a continuous semigroup of cumulant generating functions. The marginal and increment distributions of these pocesses are characterized in terms of their Lévy measure and their drift coefficient. Integral representations of C-additive processes in terms of a Poisson random measure are obtained. The limiting behavior (as t → ∞) of two subclasses of C-additive processes leads to new characterizations of C-selfdecomposable and C-stable distributions on R+.

In this work we extend the finite dimensional Radon transform [23] to the Gaussian measure. We develop an inversion formula for this GaussRadon transform by way of Fourier inversion formula. We then proceed to extend these results to the infinite dimensional setting.

The classical processes (Poisson, Bernoulli, negative binomial) are the most popular discrete counting processes; however, these rely on strict assumptions. We studied an inhomogeneous counting process (which is known as the inhomogeneous Panjer process IPP) that not only includes the classical processes as special cases, but also allows to describe counting processes to approximate data with overor under-dispersion. We present the most relevant properties of this process and establish the probability mass function and cumulative distribution function using intensity rates. This counting process will allow risk analysts who work modeling the counting processes where data dispersion exists in a more flexible and efficient way.
