  • asymptotic log Harnack Inequality and applications for stochastic systems of infinite memory
    Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2019
    Co-Authors: Feng-yu Wang, Jianhai Bao, Chenggui Yuan
    Abstract:

    Abstract The asymptotic log-Harnack Inequality is established for several kinds of models on stochastic differential systems with infinite memory: non-degenerate SDEs, neutral SDEs, semi-linear SPDEs, and stochastic Hamiltonian systems. As applications, the following properties are derived for the associated segment Markov semigroups: asymptotic heat kernel estimate, uniqueness of the invariant probability measure, asymptotic gradient estimate (hence, asymptotically strong Feller property), as well as asymptotic irreducibility.

  • Coupling by Change of Measure, Harnack Inequality and Hypercontractivity
    Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and Related Fields, 2018
    Co-Authors: Feng-yu Wang
    Abstract:

    The coupling method is a powerful tool in analysis of stochastic processes. To make the coupling successful before a given time, it is essential that two marginal processes are constructed under different probability measures. We explain the main idea of establishing Harnack inequalities for Markov semigroups using these new type couplings, and apply the coupling and Harnack Inequality to the study of hypercontractivity of Markov semigroups.

  • asymptotic log Harnack Inequality and applications for stochastic systems of infinite memory
    arXiv: Probability, 2017

    Abstract:

    The asymptotic log-Harnack Inequality is established for several different models of stochastic differential systems with infinite memory: non-degenerate SDEs, Neutral SDEs, semi-linear SPDEs, and stochastic Hamiltonian systems. As applications, the following properties are derived for the associated segment Markov semigroups: asymptotic heat kernel estimate; uniqueness of the invariant probability measure; asymptotic gradient estimate and hence, asymptotically strong Feller property; and asymptotic irreducibilty.

  • Harnack Inequality and applications for infinite dimensional gem processes
    arXiv: Probability, 2014
    Co-Authors: Shui Feng, Feng-yu Wang
    Abstract:

    The dimension-free Harnack Inequality and uniform heat kernel upper/lower bounds are derived for a class of infinite-dimensional GEM processes, which was introduced in \cite{FW} to simulate the two-parameter GEM distributions. In particular, the associated Dirichlet form satisfies the super log-Sobolev Inequality which strengthens the log-Sobolev Inequality derived in \cite{FW}. To prove the main results, explicit Harnack Inequality and super Poincar\'e Inequality are established for the one-dimensional Wright-Fisher diffusion processes. The main tool of the study is the coupling by change of measures.

  • log Harnack Inequality for mild solutions of spdes with multiplicative noise
    Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2014
    Co-Authors: Feng-yu Wang, Tusheng Zhang
    Abstract:

    Due to technical reasons, existing results concerning Harnack type inequalities for SPDEs with multiplicative noise apply only to the case where the coefficient in the noise term is a Hilbert–Schmidt perturbation of a constant bounded operator. In this paper we obtained gradient estimates, log-Harnack Inequality for mild solutions of general SPDEs with multiplicative noise whose coefficient is even allowed to be unbounded which cannot be Hilbert–Schmidt. Applications to stochastic reaction–diffusion equations driven by space–time white noise are presented.

  • Parabolic Harnack Inequality of viscosity solutions on Riemannian manifolds
    Journal of Functional Analysis, 2014
    Co-Authors: Soojung Kim, Ki-ahm Lee
    Abstract:

    Abstract We consider viscosity solutions to nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations in nondivergence form on a Riemannian manifold M with the sectional curvature bounded from below by − κ for κ ≥ 0 . In the elliptic case, Wang and Zhang [24] recently extended the results of [5] to nonlinear elliptic equations in nondivergence form on such M , where they obtained the Harnack Inequality for classical solutions. We establish the Harnack Inequality for nonnegative viscosity solutions to nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations in nondivergence form on M . The Harnack Inequality of nonnegative viscosity solutions to the elliptic equations is also proved.

  • Parabolic Harnack Inequality of viscosity solutions on Riemannian manifolds
    arXiv: Analysis of PDEs, 2013
    Co-Authors: Soojung Kim, Ki-ahm Lee
    Abstract:

    We consider viscosity solutions to nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations in nondivergence form on a Riemannian manifold $M$, with the sectional curvature bounded from below by $-\kappa$ for $\kappa\geq 0$. In the elliptic case, Wang and Zhang \cite{WZ} recently extended the results of \cite{Ca} to nonlinear elliptic equations in nondivergence form on such $M$, where they obtained the Harnack Inequality for classical solutions. We establish the Harnack Inequality for nonnegative {\it viscosity solutions} to nonlinear uniformly {\it parabolic equations} in nondivergence form on $M$. The Harnack Inequality of nonnegative viscosity solutions to the elliptic equations is also proved.

  • Harnack Inequality for nondivergent parabolic operators on Riemannian manifolds
    Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2013
    Co-Authors: Seick Kim, Soojung Kim, Ki-ahm Lee
    Abstract:

    We consider second-order linear parabolic operators in non-divergence form that are intrinsically defined on Riemannian manifolds. In the elliptic case, Cabre proved a global Krylov-Safonov Harnack Inequality under the assumption that the sectional curvature of the underlying manifold is nonnegative. Later, Kim improved Cabre’s result by replacing the curvature condition by a certain condition on the distance function. Assuming essentially the same condition introduced by Kim, we establish Krylov-Safonov Harnack Inequality for nonnegative solutions of the non-divergent parabolic equation. This, in particular, gives a new proof for Li-Yau Harnack Inequality for positive solutions to the heat equation in a manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

  • A Harnack Inequality for the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation
    Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Mihai Băileşteanu
    Abstract:

    We prove a differential Harnack Inequality for the solution of the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation \( \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}=\triangle f-(f^3-f)\) on a closed n-dimensional manifold. As a corollary, we find a classical Harnack Inequality. We also formally compare the standing wave solution to a gradient estimate of Modica from the 1980s for the elliptic equation.
