TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of strong and variational-weak solutions for the multivalued stochastic differential equation was proved for strong solutions and remains open for variational weak solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the Volatility Impulse Response Function (VIRF) to quantify the impact of shocks on expected conditional volatility and find evidence of return and volatility spillovers between the German, the Dutch and the British forward electricity markets.
Abstract: Using daily data from March 2001 to June 2005, we estimate a VAR-BEKK model and find evidence of return and volatility spillovers between the German, the Dutch and the British forward electricity markets. We apply Hafner and Herwartz [2006, Journal of International Money and Finance 25, 719-740] Volatility Impulse Response Function (VIRF) to quantify the impact of shock on expected conditional volatility. We observe that a shock has a high positive impact only if its size is large compared to the current level of volatility. The impact of shocks are usually not persistent, which may be an indication of market efficiency. Finally, we estimate the density of the VIRF at different forecast horizon. These fitted distributions are asymmetric and show that extreme events are possible even if their probability is low. These results have interesting implications for market participants whose risk management policy is based on option prices which themselves depend on the volatility level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an agenda for the engagement of the social sciences with microbiome research and its implications for public policy and social change, based on existing multidisciplinary science-policy agenda-setting exercises.
Abstract: The human microbiome is an important emergent area of cross, multi and transdisciplinary study. The complexity of this topic leads to conflicting narratives and regulatory challenges. It raises questions about the benefits of its commercialisation and drives debates about alternative models for engaging with its publics, patients and other potential beneficiaries. The social sciences and the humanities have begun to explore the microbiome as an object of empirical study and as an opportunity for theoretical innovation. They can play an important role in facilitating the development of research that is socially relevant, that incorporates cultural norms and expectations around microbes and that investigates how social and biological lives intersect. This is a propitious moment to establish lines of collaboration in the study of the microbiome that incorporate the concerns and capabilities of the social sciences and the humanities together with those of the natural sciences and relevant stakeholders outside academia. This paper presents an agenda for the engagement of the social sciences with microbiome research and its implications for public policy and social change. Our methods were informed by existing multidisciplinary science-policy agenda-setting exercises. We recruited 36 academics and stakeholders and asked them to produce a list of important questions about the microbiome that were in need of further social science research. We refined this initial list into an agenda of 32 questions and organised them into eight themes that both complement and extend existing research trajectories. This agenda was further developed through a structured workshop where 21 of our participants refined the agenda and reflected on the challenges and the limitations of the exercise itself. The agenda identifies the need for research that addresses the implications of the human microbiome for human health, public health, public and private sector research and notions of self and identity. It also suggests new lines of research sensitive to the complexity and heterogeneity of human–microbiome relations, and how these intersect with questions of environmental governance, social and spatial inequality and public engagement with science.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that uniform convergence on the set of states is equivalent to uniform convergence of the values of the λ-discounted problem as λ tends to infinity.
Abstract: In an optimal control framework, we consider the value $V_T(x)$ of the problem starting from state $x$ with finite horizon $T$, as well as the value $W_\lambda(x)$ of the $\lambda$-discounted problem starting from $x$ We prove that uniform convergence (on the set of states) of the values $V_T(\cdot)$ as $T$ tends to infinity is equivalent to uniform convergence of the values $W_\lambda(\cdot)$ as $\lambda$ tends to 0, and that the limits are identical An example is also provided to show that the result does not hold for pointwise convergence This work is an extension, using similar techniques, of a related result by Lehrer and Sorin in a discrete-time framework

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for obtaining quantitative results in stochastic homogenization for linear elliptic equations in divergence form is introduced, which does not use concentration inequalities (such as Poincare or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in the probability space) and relies instead on a higher regularity theory for solutions of the heterogeneous equation, which is valid on length scales larger than a specified mesoscopic scale.
Abstract: We introduce a new method for obtaining quantitative results in stochastic homogenization for linear elliptic equations in divergence form. Unlike previous works on the topic, our method does not use concentration inequalities (such as Poincare or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in the probability space) and relies instead on a higher ($C^{k}$, $k \geq 1$) regularity theory for solutions of the heterogeneous equation, which is valid on length scales larger than a certain specified mesoscopic scale. This regularity theory, which is of independent interest, allows us to, in effect, localize the dependence of the solutions on the coefficients and thereby accelerate the rate of convergence of the expected energy of the cell problem by a bootstrap argument. The fluctuations of the energy are then tightly controlled using subadditivity. The convergence of the energy gives control of the scaling of the spatial averages of gradients and fluxes (that is, it quantifies the weak convergence of these quantities) which yields, by a new "multiscale" Poincare inequality, quantitative estimates on the sublinearity of the corrector.
