Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The research area of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) has occupied one of the primary areas of numerical and applied mathematics for the last three decades providing new techniques for analyzing complex systems in mathematical physics, statistical mechanics, finance, biology, medicine, etc., whose evolution is subject to random perturbations. This Special Issue invites original contributions that cover recent advances in the theory and applications of stochastic differential equations. The focus will especially be on articles that examine important applications and those that include detailed case studies.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Stochastic differential and partial differential equations (SPDEs)
  • Backward stochastic differential equations
  • Numerical analysis of SDEs and SPDEs
  • Parameter and state estimation of SDEs
  • Random walk in random media
  • Markov processes
  • Stochastic networks
  • Population and evolutionary models
  • Stochastic analysis in finance
  • Stochastic analysis in biology and biomedicine
  • Stochastic differential games

A joint and unified vision of stochastic diffusion models associated with the family of hyperbolastic curves is presented. The motivation behind this approach stems from the fact that all hyperbolastic curves verify a linear differential equation of the Malthusian type. By virtue of this, and by adding a multiplicative noise to said ordinary differential equation, a diffusion process may be associated with each curve whose mean function is said curve. The inference in the resulting processes is presented jointly, as well as the strategies developed to obtain the initial solutions necessary for the numerical resolution of the system of equations resulting from the application of the maximum likelihood method. The common perspective presented is especially useful for the implementation of the necessary procedures for fitting the models to real data. Some examples based on simulated data support the suitability of the development described in the present paper. Full article

The paper is devoted to studying the exponential stability of a mild solution of stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion with an aperiodically intermittent control. The aperiodically intermittent control is added into the drift coefficients, when intermittent intervals and coefficients satisfy suitable conditions; by use of the G-Lyapunov function, the p-th exponential stability is obtained. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the availability of the obtained results. Full article

The growth and yield modeling of a forest stand has progressed rapidly, starting from the generalized nonlinear regression models of uneven/even-aged stands, and continuing to stochastic differential equation (SDE) models. We focus on the adaptation of the SDEs for the modeling of forest stand dynamics, and relate the tree and stand size variables to the age dimension (time). Two different types of diffusion processes are incorporated into a hybrid model in which the shortcomings of each variable types can be overcome to some extent. This paper presents the hybrid multivariate SDE regarding stand basal area and volume models in a forest stand. We estimate the fixed- and mixed-effect parameters for the multivariate hybrid stochastic differential equation using a maximum likelihood procedure. The results are illustrated using a dataset of measurements from Mountain pine tree (Pinus mugo Turra). Full article

This study proposes a general bivariate stochastic differential equation model of population growth which includes random forces governing the dynamics of the bivariate distribution of size variables. The dynamics of the bivariate probability density function of the size variables in a population are described by the mixed-effect parameters Vasicek, Gompertz, Bertalanffy, and the gamma-type bivariate stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The newly derived bivariate probability density function and its marginal univariate, as well as the conditional univariate function, can be applied for the modeling of population attributes such as the mean value, quantiles, and much more. The models presented here are the basis for further developments toward the tree diameter–height and height–diameter relationships for general purpose in forest management. The present study experimentally confirms the effectiveness of using bivariate SDEs to reconstruct diameter–height and height–diameter relationships by using measurements obtained from mountain pine tree (Pinus mugo Turra) species dataset in Lithuania.

In this paper, we propose an integral transform method for the numerical solution of random mean square parabolic models, that makes manageable the computational complexity due to the storage of intermediate information when one applies iterative methods. By applying the random Laplace transform method combined with the use of Monte Carlo and numerical integration of the Laplace transform inversion, an easy expression of the approximating stochastic process allows the manageable computation of the statistical moments of the approximation.
