Abstract

This paper aims to explore non-Markovian dynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems subjected to fractional Gaussian noise (FGN) and Gaussian white noise (GWN). A novel memory-dependent Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (memFPK) equation is developed to characterize the probability structure in such non-Markovian systems. The main challenge in this research comes from the long-memory characteristics of FGN. These features make it impossible to model the FGN-excited nonlinear dynamical systems as finite dimensional GWN-driven Markovian augmented filtering systems, so the classical FPK equation is no longer applicable. To solve this problem, based on fractional Wick-Itô-Skorohod integral theory, this study first derives the fractional Itô formula. Then, a memory kernel function is constructed to reflect the long-memory characteristics from FGN. By using fractional Itô formula and integration by parts, the memFPK equation is established. {Importantly, the proposed memFPK equation is not limited to specific forms of drift and diffusion terms, making it broadly applicable to a wide class of nonlinear dynamical systems subjected to FGN and GWN.} Due to the historical dependence of the memory kernel function, a Volterra adjustable decoupling approximation is used to reconstruct the memory kernel dependence term. This approximation method can effectively solve the memFPK equation, thereby obtaining probabilistic responses of nonlinear dynamical systems subjected to FGN and GWN excitations. Finally, some numerical examples verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Distribution-uniform strong laws of large numbers

We revisit the question of whether the strong law of large numbers (SLLN) holds uniformly in a rich family of distributions, culminating in a distribution-uniform generalization of the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund SLLN. These results can be viewed as extensions of Chung's distribution-uniform SLLN to random variables with uniformly integrable $q^\text{th}$ absolute central moments for $0 < q < 2$. Furthermore, we show that uniform integrability of the $q^\text{th}$ moment is both sufficient and necessary for the SLLN to hold uniformly at the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund rate of $n^{1/q - 1}$. These proofs centrally rely on novel distribution-uniform analogues of some familiar almost sure convergence results including the Khintchine-Kolmogorov convergence theorem, Kolmogorov's three-series theorem, a stochastic generalization of Kronecker's lemma, and the Borel-Cantelli lemmas. We also consider the non-identically distributed case.

Malliavin Calculus for rough stochastic differential equations

In this work we show that rough stochastic differential equations (RSDEs), as introduced by Friz, Hocquet, and Lê (2021), are Malliavin differentiable. We use this to prove existence of a density when the diffusion coefficients satisfies standard ellipticity assumptions. Moreover, when the coefficients are smooth and the diffusion coefficients satisfies a Hörmander condition, the density is shown to be smooth. The key ingredient is to develop a comprehensive theory of linear rough stochastic differential equations, which could be of independent interest.

Nonasymptotic and distribution-uniform Komlós-Major-Tusnády approximation

We present nonasymptotic concentration inequalities for sums of independent and identically distributed random variables that yield asymptotic strong Gaussian approximations of Komlós, Major, and Tusnády (KMT) [1975,1976]. The constants appearing in our inequalities are either universal or explicit, and thus as corollaries, they imply distribution-uniform generalizations of the aforementioned KMT approximations. In particular, it is shown that uniform integrability of a random variable's $q^{\text{th}}$ moment is both necessary and sufficient for the KMT approximations to hold uniformly at the rate of $o(n^{1/q})$ for $q > 2$ and that having a uniformly lower bounded Sakhanenko parameter -- equivalently, a uniformly upper-bounded Bernstein parameter -- is both necessary and sufficient for the KMT approximations to hold uniformly at the rate of $O(\log n)$. Instantiating these uniform results for a single probability space yields the analogous results of KMT exactly.
