Stochastic Stability and Potential Theory of Markov Processes

 

Stochastic Stability and Potential Theory of Markov Processes is an installation research project financed by the Croatian Science Foundation (grant no. UIP-2017-05-8958), and co-financed by the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science. Project duration is 60 months, from May 1 2018 to April 30 2023.

 

Aims of the Project 

The focus of research of this project are two fundamental problems in the theory and applications of Markov processes: (i) stochastic stability, and (ii) potential theory of Markov processes. Both proposed topics belong to the classical direction in the analysis of Markov processes and are motivated by the current direction of research in the theory and applications of stochastic processes. Stochastically stable Markov processes naturally arise as mathematical models in a number of phenomena arising in nature and engineering, such as problems related to population dynamics and homogenization of heterogeneous structures. Potential theory originates from mathematical physics as a basic tool in studying electrostatic and gravitational problems. The goal of this project is to improve and advance existing methods, models and approaches and to develop new ones with aim of better understanding the nature of Markov processes through their stochastic stability and potential theoretical properties. For this purpose, approaches and tools from various mathematical disciplines, such as probability theory, theory of stochastic processes, mathematical analysis, and theory of differential equations will be combined.
