Nonparametric Estimation of the Trend Function for Stochastic Processes Driven by Fractional Brownian Motion of the Second Kind

The present paper deals with the problem of nonparametric kernel density estimation of the trend function for stochastic processes driven by fractional Brownian motion of the second kind.The consistency,the rate of convergence,and the asymptotic normality of the kernel-type estimator are discussed.Besides,we prove that the rate of convergence of the kernel-type estimator depends on the smoothness of the trend of the nonperturbed system.

Influence of Brownian Motion, Thermophoresis and Magnetic Effects on a Fluid Containing Nanoparticles Flowing over a Stretchable Cylinder

The influence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on a fluid containing nanoparticles flowing over a stretchable cylinder is examined.The classical Navier-Stokes equations are considered in a porous frame.In addition,the Lorentz force is taken into account.The controlling coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of first order ordinary differential equations by means of a similarity transformation.The resulting system of equations is solved by employing a shooting approach properly implemented in MATLAB.The evolution of the boundary layer and the growing velocity is shown graphically together with the related profiles of concentration and temperature.The magnetic field has a different influence(in terms of trends)on velocity and concentration.

On a Compound Poisson Risk Model Perturbed by Brownian Motion with Variable Premium and Tail Dependence between Claims Amounts and Inter-Claim Time

This paper considers the compound Poisson risk model perturbed by Brownian motion with variable premium and dependence between claims amounts and inter-claim times via Spearman copula. It is assumed that the insurance company’s portfolio is governed by two classes of policyholders. On the one hand, the first class where the amount of claims is high, and on the other hand, the second class where the amount of claims is low, this difference in claim amounts has significant implications for the insurance company’s pricing and risk management strategies. When policyholders are in the first class, they pay an insurance premium of a constant amount c1 and when they are in the second class, the premium paid is a constant amount c2 such that c1 > c2. The nature of claims (low or high) is measured via random thresholds . The study in this work will focus on the determination of the integro-differential equations satisfied by Gerber-Shiu functions and their Laplace transforms in the risk model perturbed by Brownian motion with variable premium and dependence between claims amounts and inter-claim times via Spearman copula. .

HARNACK TYPE INEQUALITIES FOR SDES DRIVEN BY FRACTIONAL BROWNIAN MOTION WITH MARKOVIAN SWITCHING

In this paper, by constructing a coupling equation, we establish the Harnack type inequalities for stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion with Markovian switching. The Hurst parameter H is supposed to be in(1/2, 1). As a direct application, the strong Feller property is presented.

Polar Functions for Fractional Brownian Motion

Let X (t)(t∈R^N) be a d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion. A contiunous function f:R^N→R^d is called a polar function of X(t)(t∈R^N) if P{ t∈R^N\{0},X(t)=t(t)}=0. In this paper, the characteristies of the class of polar functions are studied. Our theorem 1 improves the previous results of Graversen and Legall. Theorem2 solves a problem of Legall (1987) on Brownian motion.

EXACT MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATOR FOR DRIFT FRACTIONAL BROWNIAN MOTION AT DISCRETE OBSERVATION

This paper deals with the problems of consistency and strong consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators of the mean and variance of the drift fractional Brownian motions observed at discrete time instants. Both the central limit theorem and the Berry-Ess′een bounds for these estimators are obtained by using the Stein’s method via Malliavin calculus.

On the sub-mixed fractional Brownian motion

Let {S t H, t ≥ 0） be a linear combination of a Brownian motion and an independent sub-fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index 0 〈 H 〈 1. Its main properties are studied. They suggest that SH lies between the sub-fractional Brownian motion and the mixed fractional Brownian motion. We also determine the values of H for which SH is not a semi-martingale.

LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATION FOR ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK PROCESSES DRIVEN BY THE WEIGHTED FRACTIONAL BROWNIAN MOTION

In this article, we study a least squares estimator （LSE） of θ for the Ornstein- Uhlenbeck process X0=0,dXt=θXtdt＋dBt^ab, t ≥ 0 driven by weighted fractional Brownian motion B^a,b with parameters a, b. We obtain the consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the LSE based on the observation {Xs, s∈[0,t]} as t tends to infinity.

Dynamics of stochastic non-Newtonian fluids driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H∈(1/4,1/2)

A two-dimensional （2D） stochastic incompressible non-Newtonian fluid driven by the genuine cylindrical fractional Brownian motion （FBM） is studied with the Hurst parameter ∈ （1/4,1/2） under the Dirichlet boundary condition. The existence and regularity of the stochastic convolution corresponding to the stochastic non-Newtonian fluids are obtained by the estimate on the and the identity of the infinite double series spectrum of the spatial differential operator in the analytic number theory. The existence of the mild solution and the random attractor of a random dynamical system are then obtained for the stochastic non-Newtonian systems with ∈ （1/2,1） without any additional restriction on the parameter H.

THE LONG TIME BEHAVIOR OF THE FRACTIONAL ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK PROCESS WITH LINEAR SELF-REPELLING DRIFT

Let B^(H) be a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index 1/2≤H<1.In this paper,we consider the equation(called the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with a linear self-repelling drift)dX_(t)^(H)=dB_(t)^(H)+σ X_(t)^(H)dt+vdt-θ(∫_(0)^(t)(X_(t)^(H)-X_(s)^(H))ds)dt,whereθ<0,σ,v∈ℝ.The process is an analogue of self-attracting diffusion(Cranston,Le Jan.Math Ann,1995,303:87–93).Our main aim is to study the large time behaviors of the process.We show that the solution X^(H)diverges to infinity as t tends to infinity,and obtain the speed at which the process X^(H)diverges to infinity.

Some limit results on supremum of Shepp statistics for fractional Brownian motion

Define the incremental fractional Brownian field ZH（τ, s） = BH（s＋τ） -BH（s）,where BH（s） is a standard fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H ∈ （0, 1）. Inthis paper, we first derive an exact asymptotic of distribution of the maximum MH（Tu） =supτ∈[0,1],s∈[0,xτu] ZH（τ, s）, which holds uniformly for x ∈ [A, B] with A, B two positive con-stants. We apply the findings to analyse the tail asymptotic and limit theorem of MH （τ） witha random index τ. In the end, we also prove an almost sure limit theorem for the maximum M1/2（τ） with non-random index T.
