Exponential Convergence for One Dimensional Contact Processes * )

چکیده

The complete convergence theorem implies that starting from any initial distribution the one dimensional contact process converges to a limit as t--,-oo. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial distribution for the convergence to occur with exponential rapidity.

Exponential convergence to quasi-stationary distribution and Q-process

For general, almost surely absorbed Markov processes, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential convergence to a unique quasi-stationary distribution in the total variation norm. These conditions also ensure the existence and exponential ergodicity of the Q-process (the process conditioned to never be absorbed). We apply these results to one-dimensional birth and death proce...

Numerical Solution of Multidimensional Exponential Levy Equation by Block Pulse Function

The multidimensional exponential Levy equations are used to describe many stochastic phenomena such as market fluctuations. Unfortunately in practice an exact solution does not exist for these equations. This motivates us to propose a numerical solution for n-dimensional exponential Levy equations by block pulse functions. We compute the jump integral of each block pulse function and present a ...

N ov 2 00 6 ONE DIMENSIONAL CONFORMAL METRIC FLOWS

In this paper we continue our studies of the one dimensional conformal metric flows, which were introduced in [9]. We prove the global existence and convergence of the flows, as well as the exponential convergence of the metrics under these flows.

Comparison Theorems for the Spectral Gap of Diffusions Processes and Schrödinger Operators on an Interval

We compare the spectral gaps and thus the exponential rates of convergence to equilibrium for ergodic one-dimensional diffusions on an interval. One of the results may be thought of as the diffusion analog of a recent result for the spectral gap of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators. We also discuss the similarities and differences between spectral gap results for diffusions and for Schrödin...

Exponential Convergence for the Stochastically Forced Navier-Stokes Equations and Other Partially Dissipative Dynamics

We prove that the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations possesses an exponentially attracting invariant measure. This result is in fact the consequence of a more general “Harris-like” ergodic theorem applicable to many dissipative stochastic PDEs and stochastic processes with memory. A simple iterated map example is also presented to help build intuition and showcase the central ideas in a le...
