Limit Theorems and Regenerative Processes

Speaker: Ju-yi Yen from University of Cincinnati Date and Time: 10/29/19, 4-5pm Abstract:In this talk, we present limit theorems related to integrals of functions taken at the values of Brownian motion. These limit theorems involve regenerative processes and the local time of the Brownian motion.

The Inverse First Passage Time Problem for killed Brownian motion

Speaker: Alex Hening from Tufts Date and Time: 10/08/19, 4-5pm Abstract: The inverse firat passage time problem asks whether, for a Brownian motion B and a nonnegative random variable ζ, there exists a time-varying barrier b such that P{B s > b(s), 0 ≤ s ≤ t} = P{ζ > t}. We study a ”smoothed” version […]
