Activity directions and main results

 

Main directions of activity in 2003 was stochastic analysis and its applications:

·        large and moderate deviations for stochastic processes;

·        large deviations and quasi classical approximations;

·        large deviations for invariant measures;

·        large and moderate deviations for stochastic graph;

·        large and moderate deviations in statistical estimations;

·        diffusion approximation for two scaled diffusion;

·        diffusion approximation for stochastic differential equations with non smooth

 coefficients;

·        mixing in stochastic equations;

·        existence uniqueness and regularity for parabolic stochastic equations with

          smooth boundary conditions;

·        regularity of invariant measure and smoothness of Markov chain generator;

·        estimation control, control theory and data processing.

 

A. Veretennikov studied problems of diffusion approximation and large deviations for two-scaled diffusion with fast and slow components. The mixing theory for stochastic differential equations is developed. Connection between the smoothness of invariant measure and generator of Markov chain are established. New results on diffusion approximation of Poisson equation are obtained.

R. Liptser and A. Veretennikov studied moderate deviations for smooth processes.

Large deviation results for stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions are known. However in some problems of mathematical physics it is more natural to consider equations with smooth random perturbations. A large deviation principle are established for a family of vector-valued smooth random processes defined by a system of ordinary differential equations with perturbations defined by smooth vector function of vector-valued ergodic diffusion.

R. Liptser obtained new results on large and moderate deviations for statistical estimation problems and filtration theory. He studied the problem of diffusion approximation for stochastic differential equations with non-smooth coefficients.

A. Puhalskii obtained new results on the connection between large deviation principles for trajectories of stochastic processes and the associated invariant measures. The large deviation accumulation point of a sequence of invariant measures is identified as invariant measure of the limit idempotent processes. Application to diffusion and queuing processes are provided. New approach based on the theory of stochastic processes is developed to studying of random graphs. With the help of this tools new results on normal moderate and large deviations are obtained.

S. Lototsky obtained new results on existence uniqueness and regularity for parabolic stochastic equations with smooth boundary conditions. Asymptotic properties of two-dimensional projection based parameter estimator for stochastic parabolic equations are studied.

O. Gulinsky continued studying non-standard problems of the large deviation theory.

The motivation is coming from some problems of quantum mechanics. Developed tools make it possible to handle non-commutative asymptotic problems as one would handle classical large deviations and consider infinite dimension the Laplace method and stationary phase method from the general point of view. The approach is applied to analysis of mean-field quantum crystal model.

F. Grigoriev obtained new results on estimation control, control theory and data processing. These results are applied to some problem of chemical kinetic processes.
