Brownian Couplings, Convexity, and Shy-ness

Benjamini, Burdzy, and Chen (2007) introduced the notion of a shy coupling: a coupling of a Markov process such that, for suitable starting points, there is a positive chance of the two component processes of the coupling staying at least a given positive distance away from each other for all time. Among other results, they showed that no shy couplings could exist for reflected Brownian motions...

Rubber Bands, Pursuit Games and Shy Couplings

In this paper, we consider pursuit-evasion and probabilistic consequences of some geometric notions for bounded and suitably regular domains in Euclidean space that are CAT(κ) for some κ > 0. These geometric notions are useful for analyzing the related problems of (a) existence/nonexistence of successful evasion strategies for the Man in Lion and Man problems, and (b) existence/nonexistence of ...

Se p 20 05 SHY COUPLINGS

A pair (X, Y) of Markov processes is called a Markov coupling if X and Y have the same transition probabilities and (X, Y) is a Markov process. We say that a coupling is " shy " if there exists a (random) ε > 0 such that dist(X t , Y t) > ε for all t ≥ 0. We investigate whether shy couplings exist for several classes of Markov processes.

Neumann Eigenfunctions and Brownian Couplings

This is a review of research on geometric properties of Neumann eigenfunctions related to the “hot spots” conjecture of Jeff Rauch. The paper also presents, in an informal way, some probabilistic techniques used in the proofs.

Shy Couplings, Cat(0) Spaces, and the Lion and Man

Two random processes X and Y on a metric space are said to be ε-shy coupled if there is positive probability of them staying at least a positive distance ε apart from each other forever. Interest in the literature centres on nonexistence results subject to topological and geometric conditions; motivation arises from the desire to gain a better understanding of probabilistic coupling. Previous n...
