Sensitivity analysis using Itô--Malliavin calculus and martingales, and application to stochastic optimal control

E Gobet, R Munos - SIAM Journal on control and optimization, 2005 - SIAM
We consider a multidimensional diffusion process (X^\alpha_t)_0≦t≦T whose dynamics
depends on a parameter α. Our first purpose is to write as an expectation the sensitivity …

Lagrangian Navier–Stokes diffusions on manifolds: variational principle and stability

M Arnaudon, AB Cruzeiro - Bulletin des Sciences Mathématiques, 2012 - Elsevier
We prove a variational principle for stochastic flows on manifolds. It extends VI Arnoldʼs
description of Lagrangian Euler flows, which are geodesics for the L 2 metric on the …

Horizontal Diffusion in C 1 Path Space

M Arnaudon, KA Coulibaly, A Thalmaier - Séminaire de Probabilités XLIII, 2011 - Springer
We define horizontal diffusion in C 1 path space over a Riemannian manifold and prove its
existence. If the metric on the manifold is developing under the forward Ricci flow, horizontal …

Non‐geometric rough paths on manifolds

J Armstrong, D Brigo, T Cass… - Journal of the London …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
We provide a theory of manifold‐valued rough paths of bounded 3> p 3>p‐variation, which
we do not assume to be geometric. Rough paths are defined in charts, relying on the vector …

Brownian motion with respect to time-changing Riemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flow

KA Coulibaly-Pasquier - Annales de l'IHP Probabilités et statistiques, 2011 - numdam.org
We generalize Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold to the case of a family of metrics
which depends on time. Such questions are natural for equations like the heat equation with …

A Bismut type formula for the Hessian of heat semigroups

M Arnaudon, H Plank, A Thalmaier - Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2003 - numdam.org
Résumé On écrit une formule de Bismut intrinsèque pour la hessienne d'un semigroupe de
la chaleur ou d'une fonction harmonique sur une variété, en calculant des dérivées …

Reflected Brownian motion: selection, approximation and linearization

M Arnaudon, XM Li - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
We construct a family of SDEs with smooth coefficients whose solutions select a reflected
Brownian flow as well as a corresponding stochastic damped transport process (W_t), the …

A probabilistic approach to the Yang–Mills heat equation

M Arnaudon, RO Bauer, A Thalmaier - Journal de mathématiques pures et …, 2002 - Elsevier
We construct a parallel transport U in a vector bundle E, along the paths of a Brownian
motion in the underlying manifold, with respect to a time dependent covariant derivative∇ …

The differentiation of hypoelliptic diffusion semigroups

M Arnaudon, A Thalmaier - Illinois Journal of Mathematics, 2010 - projecteuclid.org
Basic derivative formulas are presented for hypoelliptic heat semigroups and harmonic
functions extending earlier work in the elliptic case. According to our approach, special …

Complete lifts of connections and stochastic Jacobi fields

M Arnaudon, A Thalmaier - Journal de mathématiques pures et appliquées, 1998 - Elsevier
Differentiable families of∇-martingales on manifolds are investigated: their infinitesimal
variation provides a notion of stochastic Jacobi fields. Such objects are known [2] to be …
