Let ℓ be Lebesgue measure and X=(Xt,t≥0;Pμ) be a supercritical, super-stable process corresponding to the operator −(−Δ)α/2u+βu−ηu2 on Rd with constants β,η>0 and α∈(0,2]. Put View the MathML source, which for each smallθ is an a.s. convergent complex-valued martingale with limit View the MathML...

The classical particle filter, introduced in 1993, approximates the normalized filter directly. It has two defiencies, over resampling and the inability to distinguish models, the former of which was overcome but the later is fundamental. Conversely, the weighted particle filter, motivated by the...

Herein, we propose generating CAPTCHAs through random field simulation and give a novel, effective and efficient algorithm to do so. Indeed, we demonstrate that sufficient information about word tests for easy human recognition is contained in the site marginal probabilities and the...

We address the missing analog of vague convergence in the weak-converge large-deviations analogy. Specifically, we introduce the weak Laplace principle and show it implies both the well-known weak LDP and the Laplace principle lower bound. Both the weak LDP and weak Laplace principle hold in...

Partially-observed microstructure models, containing stochastic volatility, dynamic trading noise and short term inertia, are introduced to address the following questions: (1) Do the observed prices exhibit statistically signicant inertia? (2) Is stochastic volatility (SV) still evident in the...

The equivalences to and the connections between the modulus-of-continuity condition, compact containment and tightness on DE[a, b] with a < b are studied. The results within are tools for establishing tightness for probability measures on DE[a, b] that generalize and simplify prevailing results...

A CAPTCHA is an automatically generated test designed to distinguish between humans and computer programs; specifically, they are designed to be easy for humans but difficult for computer programs to pass in order to prevent the abuse of resources by automated bots. They are commonly seen...
