چکیده

Consider a continuous time, finite state Markov chain X = {Xt, t ∈ [0, T ]}. We identify the states of this process with the unit vectors ei in R N , where N is the number of states of the chain. We consider stochastic processes defined on the filtered probability space (Ω, F , {Ft}, P), where {Ft} is the completed natural filtration generated by the σ-fields Ft = σ({Xu, u ≤ t}, F ∈ FT : P(F ) = 0), and F = FT . Note that, as X is right-continuous, this filtration is right-continuous. If At denotes the rate matrix for X at time t, then this chain has the representation

Feynman-kac Formulas, Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Markov Processes

In this paper we explain the notion of stochastic backward differential equations and its relationship with classical (backward) parabolic differential equations of second order. The paper contains a mixture of stochastic processes like Markov processes and martingale theory and semi-linear partial differential equations of parabolic type. Some emphasis is put on the fact that the whole theory ...

Stability of two classes of improved backward Euler methods for stochastic delay differential equations of neutral type

This paper examines stability analysis of two classes of improved backward Euler methods, namely split-step $(theta, lambda)$-backward Euler (SSBE) and semi-implicit $(theta,lambda)$-Euler (SIE) methods, for nonlinear neutral stochastic delay differential equations (NSDDEs). It is proved that the SSBE method with $theta, lambdain(0,1]$ can recover the exponential mean-square stability with some...

Backward and Forward equations for Diffusion processes

This section is devoted to the discussion of two fundamental (partial) differential equations, that arise in the context of Markov diffusion processes. After giving a brief introduction of continuous-time continuous state Markov processes, we introduce the forward and backward equation, and provide a heuristic derivation of these equations for diffusion processes. We also discuss some examples ...

Stochastic Dynamic Programming with Markov Chains for Optimal Sustainable Control of the Forest Sector with Continuous Cover Forestry

We present a stochastic dynamic programming approach with Markov chains for optimal control of the forest sector. The forest is managed via continuous cover forestry and the complete system is sustainable. Forest industry production, logistic solutions and harvest levels are optimized based on the sequentially revealed states of the markets. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for co...

Continuous dependence on coefficients for stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Levy Noise and monotone nonlinearity

Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative L'evy noise are considered‎. ‎The drift term is assumed to be monotone nonlinear and with linear growth‎. ‎Unlike other similar works‎, ‎we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients‎. ‎We establish the continuous dependence of the mild solution with respect to initial conditions and also on coefficients. ‎As corollaries of ...
