We give a new proof of the celebrated Bichteler–Dellacherie theorem, which states that a process S is a good integrator if and only if it is the sum of a local martingale and a finite-variation process. As a corollary, we obtain a characterization of semimartingales along the lines of...

In this paper we discuss existence and uniqueness results for BSDEs driven by centered Gaussian processes. Compared to the existing literature on Gaussian BSDEs, which mainly treats fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H1/2, our main contributions are: (i) Our results cover a wide...

In this paper, we show that central order statistics from strictly stationary and ergodic sequences are strongly consistent estimators of population quantiles provided that the quantiles are unique. We generalize this result to strictly stationary but not necessarily ergodic sequences. We also...

We investigate the problem of embedding infinite binary sequences into Bernoulli site percolation on Zd with parameter p. In 1995, I. Benjamini and H. Kesten proved that, for d⩾10 and p=1/2, all sequences can be embedded, almost surely. They conjectured that the same should hold for d⩾3....

In this paper the loop-erased random walk on the finite pre-Sierpiński gasket is studied. It is proved that the scaling limit exists and is a continuous process. It is also shown that the path of the limiting process is almost surely self-avoiding, while having Hausdorff dimension strictly...

In this paper, we consider a large class of subordinate Brownian motions X via subordinators with Laplace exponents which are complete Bernstein functions satisfying some mild scaling conditions at zero and at infinity. We first discuss how such conditions govern the behavior of the subordinator...

Over the past few years quadratic Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) have been a popular field of research. However there are only very few examples where explicit solutions for these equations are known. In this paper we consider a class of quadratic BSDEs involving affine...

In this paper, a characterization of the solution of impulse control problems in terms of superharmonic functions is given. In a general Markovian framework, the value function of the impulse control problem is shown to be the minimal function in a convex set of superharmonic functions. This...

In some recent papers, some procedures based on some weighted empirical measures related to decreasing-step Euler schemes have been investigated to approximate the stationary regime of a diffusion (possibly with jumps) for a class of functionals of the process. This method is efficient but needs...

Let {Xk:k≥1} be a linear process with values in the separable Hilbert space L2(μ) given by Xk=∑j=0∞(j+1)−Dεk−j for each k≥1, where D is defined by Df={d(s)f(s):s∈S} for each f∈L2(μ) with d:S→R and {εk:k∈Z} are independent and identically distributed L2(μ)-valued random...
