Concentration inequalities via Malliavin calculus with applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the Malliavin calculus to prove a new abstract concentration inequality result for zero mean, Malliavin differentiable random variables which admit densities. We demonstrate the applicability of the result by deriving two new concrete concentration inequalities, one relating to an integral functional of a fractional Brownian motion process, and the other relating to the centered maximum of a finite sum of Normal random variables. These concentration inequalities are, to the best of our knowledge, largely unattainable via existing methods other than those which are the subject of this paper.

Density formula and concentration inequalities with Malliavin calculus
We show how to use the Malliavin calculus to obtain a new exact formula for the density ρ of the law of any random variable Z which is measurable and di erentiable with respect to a given isonormal Gaussian process. The main advantage of this formula is that it does not refer to the divergence operator (dual of the Malliavin derivative). In particular, density lower bounds can be obtained in so...
متن کاملDensity estimates and concentration inequalities with Malliavin calculus
We show how to use the Malliavin calculus to obtain density estimates of the law of general centered random variables. In particular, under a non-degeneracy condition, we prove and use a new formula for the density ρ of a random variable Z which is measurable and di erentiable with respect to a given isonormal Gaussian process. Among other results, we apply our techniques to bound the density o...
متن کاملSecond order Poincaré inequalities and CLTs on Wiener space
We prove in nite-dimensional second order Poincaré inequalities on Wiener space, thus closing a circle of ideas linking limit theorems for functionals of Gaussian elds, Stein's method and Malliavin calculus. We provide two applications: (i) to a new second order characterization of CLTs on a xed Wiener chaos, and (ii) to linear functionals of Gaussian-subordinated elds.
متن کاملMalliavin Calculus and Decoupling Inequalities in Banach Spaces
We develop a theory of Malliavin calculus for Banach space valued random variables. Using radonifying operators instead of symmetric tensor products we extend the Wiener-Itô isometry to Banach spaces. In the white noise case we obtain two sided L-estimates for multiple stochastic integrals in arbitrary Banach spaces. It is shown that the Malliavin derivative is bounded on vector-valued Wiener-I...
متن کاملStochastic Differential Games in Insider Markets via Malliavin Calculus
In this paper we use techniques of Malliavin calculus and forward integration to present a general stochastic maximum principle for anticipating stochastic differential equations driven by a Lévy type of noise. We apply our result to study a general stochastic differential game problem of an insider. MSC2010 : 60G51, 60H40, 60H10, 60HXX, 93E20
