Testing the Irreversibility of a Gibbsian Process via Hitting and Return times (running Title: Entropy Production via Hitting and Return Times)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce estimators for the entropy production of a Gibbsian process based on the observation of a single or two typical trajectories. These estimators are built with adequate hitting and return times. We then study their convergence and fluctuation properties. This provides statis-ticals test for the irreversibility of Gibbsian processes.

Entropy Estimation and Fluctuations of Hitting and Recurrence times for Gibbsian Sources
Motivated by entropy estimation from chaotic time series, we provide a comprehensive analysis of hitting times of cylinder sets in the setting of Gibbsian sources. We prove two strong approximation results from which we easily deduce pointwise convergence to entropy, lognormal fluctuations, precise large deviation estimates and an explicit formula for the hitting-time multifractal spectrum. It ...
متن کاملCorrelation Decay and Recurrence Asymptotics for Some Robust Nonuniformly Hyperbolic Maps
Abstract. We study decay of correlations, the asymptotic distribution of hitting times and fluctuations of the return times for a robust class of multidimensional non-uniformly hyperbolic transformations. Oliveira and Viana [15] proved that there is a unique equilibrium state μ for a large class of nonuniformly expanding transformations and Hölder continuous potentials with small variation. For...

This letter echoes the article by T.C. Halsey and M.H. Jensen published in this journal [5]. To say it in a nutshell, the authors evoke various methods use to determine multifractal properties of strange attractors of dynamical systems, in particular from experimental data. They draw their attention on a method based on recurrence times used by S. Gratrix and J.N. Elgin [4] to estimate the poin...
متن کاملFluctuations Analysis of Finite Discrete Birth and Death Chains with Emphasis on Moran Models with Mutations
The Moran model is a discrete-time birth and death Markov chain describing the evolution of the number of type 1 alleles in an haploid population with two alleles whose total size N is preserved during the course of evolution. Bias mechanisms such as mutations or selection can affect its neutral dynamics. For the ergodic Moran model with mutations, we get interested into the fixation probabilit...
متن کاملAnalysis of Production Decisions under Budget Limitations
The issue of when to intervene in the evolution of a production system is the focus of this study. The interventions take the form of changes to production depending on the current value of the products. Each change incurs a charge representing costs such as physical expansion, overtime or new hiring when production increases and costs such as severance or shut down when production decreases. T...
