Stochastic particle transport by deep-water irregular breaking waves

Correct prediction of particle transport by surface waves is crucial in many practical applications such as search and rescue or salvage operations and pollution tracking and clean-up efforts. Recent results by Deike et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 829, 2017, ...

Probabilistic and Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification of deterministic and stochastic differential equations

Giacomo Garegnani

In this thesis we explore uncertainty quantification of forward and inverse problems involving differential equations. Differential equations are widely employed for modeling natural and social phenomena, with applications in engineering, chemistry, meteor ...

Content Based Status Updates

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser, Elie Najm

Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: high priority or ordinary (low priority). These updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. However, the transmission policy of each pack ...

Gaussian and sparse processes are limits of generalized Poisson processes

Michaël Unser, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Julien René Pierre Fageot

The theory of sparse stochastic processes offers a broad class of statistical models to study signals, far beyond the more classical class of Gaussian processes. In this framework, signals are represented as realizations of random processes that are soluti ...

Generating Sparse Stochastic Processes Using Matched Splines

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad, Leello Tadesse Dadi

We provide an algorithm to generate trajectories of sparse stochastic processes that are solutions of linear ordinary differential equations driven by Levy white noises. A recent paper showed that these processes are limits in law of generalized compound-P ...

Wavelet analysis of the Besov regularity of Levy white noise

Julien René Pierre Fageot, Shayan Aziznejad

We characterize the local smoothness and the asymptotic growth rate of the Levy white noise. We do so by characterizing the weighted Besov spaces in which it is located. We extend known results in two ways. First, we obtain new bounds for the local smoothn ...

On Jump-Diffusive Driving Noise Sources: Some Explicit Results and Applications

Max-Olivier Hongler, Roger Filliger

We study some linear and nonlinear shot noise models where the jumps are drawn from a compound Poisson process with jump sizes following an Erlang-m distribution. We show that the associated Master equation can be written as a spatial mth order partial dif ...

Bits through Time

Elie Najm

In any communication system, there exist two dimensions through which the information at the source becomes distorted before reaching the destination: the noisy channel and time. Messages transmitted through a noisy channel are susceptible to modification ...

The time-dependent expected reward and deviation matrix of a finite QBD process

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

Deriving the time-dependent expected reward function associated with a continuous-time Markov chain involves the computation of its transient deviation matrix. In this paper we focus on the special case of a finite quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) process, moti ...

The mean-field behavior of processor sharing systems with general job lengths under the SQ(d) policy

Arpan Mukhopadhyay

This paper addresses the mean-field behavior of large-scale systems of parallel servers with a processor sharing service discipline when arrivals are Poisson and jobs have general service time distributions when an SQ(d) routing policy is used. Under this ...

Gaussian versus Sparse Stochastic Processes : Construction, Regularity, Compressibility

Julien René Pierre Fageot

Although our work lies in the field of random processes, this thesis was originally motivated by signal processing applications, mainly the stochastic modeling of sparse signals. We develop a mathematical study of the innovation model, under which a signal ...

Bayesian uncertainty management in temporal dependence of extremes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Thomas Lugrin, Jonathan A. Tawn

Both marginal and dependence features must be described when modelling the extremes of a stationary time series. There are standard approaches to marginal modelling, but long-and short-range dependence of extremes may both appear. In applications, an assum ...

Max-stable processes and stationary systems of Levy particles

Sebastian Engelke

We study stationary max-stable processes {n(t): t is an element of R} admitting a representation of the form n(t) = max(i is an element of N) (U-i +Y-i(t)), where Sigma(infinity)(i=1) delta U-i is a Poisson point process on R with intensity e(-u)du, and Y1 ...

A Multi Level Monte Carlo Method with Control Variate for elliptic PDEs with log-normal coefficients

Fabio Nobile, Francesco Tesei

We consider the numerical approximation of the stochastic Darcy problem with log-normal permeability field and propose a novel Multi Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) approach with a control variate variance reduction technique on each level. We model the log-perme ...

Queue Profile Estimation in Congested Urban Networks with Probe Data

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohsen Ramezani Ghalenoei

Queues at signalized intersections are the main cause of traffic delays and travel time variability in urban networks. In this article, we propose a method to estimate queue profiles that are traffic shockwave polygons in the time-space plane describing th ...

Invariant manifolds with boundary for jump-diffusions

Damir Filipovic

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for stochastic invariance of finite dimensional submanifolds with boundary in Hilbert spaces for stochastic partial differential equations driven by Wiener processes and Poisson random measures. ...

Stochastic dynamics of snow avalanche occurrence by superposition of Poisson processes

Benoît Crouzy, Paolo Perona

We study the dynamics of systems with deterministic trajectories randomly forced by instantaneous discontinuous jumps occurring according to two different compound Poisson processes. One process, with constant frequency, causes instantaneous positive rando ...

The Analog Formulation of Sparsity Implies Infinite Divisibility and Rules Out Bernoulli-Gaussian Priors

Michaël Unser, Ulugbek Kamilov, Arash Amini

Motivated by the analog nature of real-world signals, we investigate continuous-time random processes. For this purpose, we consider the stochastic processes that can be whitened by linear transformations and we show that the distribution of their samples ...

Bayesian Denoising Of Generalized Poisson Processes With Finite Rate Of Innovation

Michaël Unser, Ulugbek Kamilov, Arash Amini

We investigate the problem of the optimal reconstruction of a generalized Poisson process from its noisy samples. The process is known to have a finite rate of innovation since it is generated by a random stream of Diracs with a finite average number of im ...

The Contact Process : Competition Models and Boolean Networks

Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

This work is a study of three interacting particle systems that are modified versions of the contact process. The contact process is a spin system defined on a graph and is commonly taken as a model for the spread of an infection in a population; transmiss ...
