Spectral Asymptotics for Kinetic Brownian Motion on Surfaces of Constant Curvature

Poleni Curves on Surfaces of Constant Curvature

In the euclidean plane, a regular curve can be defined through its intrinsic equation which relates its curvature k to the arc length s. Elastic plane curves were determined this way. If k(s) = 2α cosh(αs) , the curve is known by the name “la courbe des forçats”, introduced in 1729 by Giovanni Poleni in relation with the tractrix [9]. The above equation is yet meaningful on a surface if one int...

Hyperbolic Billiards on Surfaces of Constant Curvature

We establish sufficient conditions for the hyperbolicity of the billiard dynamics on surfaces of constant curvature. This extends known results for planar billiards. Using these conditions, we construct large classes of billiard tables with positive Lyapunov exponents on the sphere and on the hyperbolic plane.

On spectral simulation of fractional Brownian motion

This paper focuses on simulating fractional Brownian motion (fBm). Despite the availability of several exact simulation methods, attention has been paid to approximate simulation (i.e., the output is approximately fBm), particularly because of possible time savings. In this paper, we study the class of approximate methods that are based on the spectral properties of fBm’s stationary incremental...
