In silico modelling of CD8 T cell immune response links genetic regulation to population dynamics
The CD8 T cell immune response operates at multiple temporal and spatial scales, including all the early complex biochemical and biomechanical processes, up to long term cell population behavior.In order to model this response, we devised a multiscale ...

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

ABSTRACT This study develops a novel multivariate stochastic framework for assessing systemic risks, such as climate and nature‐related shocks, within production or financial networks. By embedding a linear stochastic fluid network, interpretable as a generalized vector Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, into the production network of interdependent ...

Debiasing piecewise deterministic Markov process samplers using couplings
International audienceAbstract Monte Carlo methods—such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP) samplers—provide asymptotically exact estimators of expectations under a target distribution.

Viscosity solutions of two classes of coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations
This paper studies viscosity solutions of two sets of linearly coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations (one for finite horizon and the other one for infinite horizon) which arise in the optimal control of nonlinear piecewise deterministic ...

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Monotone Densities
ABSTRACT We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian approach of imposing a prior that satisfies the monotonicity restriction, we place a prior on the step heights via binning and a Dirichlet distribution. The resulting posterior distribution

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Construction of Lyapunov functions for piecewise-deterministic Markov processes [PDF]
The purpose of this contribution is twofold: 1) to present for the first time a Lyapunov function that proves exponential ergodicity of a process studied by the authors in [1], where the problem of controlling the probability density of a swarm of robotic agents was solved; 2) to introduce alongside the method used to construct this Lyapunov function ...

Nonparametric Estimation for a Class of Piecewise-Deterministic Markov Processes [PDF]
In this paper we study nonparametric estimation problems for a class of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs). Borovkov and Last (2008) proved a version of Rice's formula for PDMPs, which explains the relation between the stationary density and the level crossing intensity.
