Measure-Valued Differentiation for Stochastic Processes: The Finite Horizon Case
This paper addresses the problem of sensitivity analysis for finite horizon performance measures of general Markov chains. We derive closed form expressions and associated unbiased gradient estimators for derivatives of finite products of Markov kernels by measure-valued differentiation (MVD). In the MVD setting, derivatives of Markov kernels, called D-derivatives, are defined with respect to a...
متن کاملRandom Measures and Measure-Valued Processes
The question of “levels of selection” has received a great deal of attention and controversy in the biological literature but relatively little attention in the mathematical literature. In this lecture we brie y review some background and formulate some models of multitype populations undergoing mutation and selection including multilevel selection. The main tool is a related dual processes whi...
متن کاملComparisons for Measure Valued Processes with Interactions
This paper considers some measure-valued processes {Xt : t ∈ [0, T ]} based on an underlying critical branching particle structure with random branching rates. In the case of constant branching these processes are Dawson-Watanabe processes. Sufficient conditions on functionals Φ of the process are given that imply that the expectations E(Φ(XT )) are comparable to the constant branching case. Ap...
متن کاملMeasure Valued Solutions for Stochastic Evolution Equations on Hilbert Space and Their Feedback Control
In this paper, we consider a class of semilinear stochastic evolution equations on Hilbert space driven by a stochastic vector measure. The nonlinear terms are assumed to be merely continuous and bounded on bounded sets. We prove the existence of measure valued solutions generalizing some earlier results of the author. As a corollary, an existence result of a measure solution for a forward Kolm...
متن کاملStochastic differential equations and geometric flows
In previous years, curve evolution, applied to a single contour or to the level sets of an image via partial differential equations, has emerged as an important tool in image processing and computer vision. Curve evolution techniques have been utilized in problems such as image smoothing, segmentation, and shape analysis. We give a local stochastic interpretation of the basic curve smoothing eq...
