This work concerns generalized backward stochastic differential equations, which are coupled with a family of reflecting diffusion processes. First of all, we establish the large deviation principle for forward stochastic differential equations with reflecting boundaries under weak monotonicity conditions. Then based on the obtained result and the contraction principle, the large deviation principle for the generalized backward stochastic differential equations is proved. As a by-product, we obtain a limit result about parabolic partial differential equations with the nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions., Comment: 17 pages

First of all, for general, fully coupled systems for multivalued stochastic differential equations of slow and fast motions with small noises in the slow components, we prove the strong convergence in the functional law of large numbers by the time discretization scheme. Then for those systems whose slow diffusion coefficients don't depend on the fast components, the large deviation principle is established by the weak convergence approach., Comment: 40 pages

In this paper, we are concerned with stochastic Volterra equations with singular kernels and H\"older continuous coefficients. We first establish the well-posedness of these equations by utilising the Yamada-Watanabe approach. Then, we aim to characterise the path-independence for additive functionals of these equations. The main challenge here is that the solutions of stochastic Volterra equations are not semimartingales nor Markov processes, thus the existing techniques for obtaining the path-independence of usual, semimartingale type stochastic differential equations are no longer applicable. To overcome this difficulty, we link the concerned stochastic Volterra equations to mild formulation of certain parabolic type stochastic partial differential equations, and further apply our previous results on the path-independence for stochastic evolution equations to get the desired result. Finally, as an important application, we consider a class of stochastic Volterra equations whose kernels are related with fractional Brownian motions and derive the path-independence of additive functionals for them., Comment: 26 pages

This work concerns the nonlinear filtering problem of multiscale McKean-Vlasov stochastic systems where the whole systems depend on distributions of fast components. First of all, we prove that the slow component of the original system converges to an average system in the $L^{2p}$ ($p\geqslant 1$) sense. Moreover, we obtain the strong convergence order for the $L^2$ case. Then, given an observation process which depends on the slow component and its distribution, we show that the nonlinear filtering of the slow component and its distribution also converges to that of the average system in the $L^{q}$ ($p\geq 8, 1\leq q\leq \frac{p}{8}$) sense., Comment: 25 pages

Moreover, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation for Onsager-Machlup action functional is derived and a example is given.

This work concerns a type of coupled McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (MVSDEs in short) with jumps. First, we prove superposition principles for these coupled MVSDEs with jumps and non-local space-distribution dependent Fokker-Planck equations. Since superposition principles are related to the well-posedness of weak solutions for coupled MVSDEs with jumps, then we give some conditions to assure it. After this, we construct space-distribution valued Markov processes associated with these coupled MVSDEs with jumps. Finally, the ergodicity of these coupled MVSDEs with jumps are investigated. As a by-product, we show the exponential ergodicity for a type of MVSDEs with jumps., Comment: Some results are similar to that in [21]

In the paper, we consider nonlinear filtering problems of multiscale systems in two cases-correlated sensor L\'evy noises and correlated L\'evy noises. First of all, we prove that the slow part of the origin system converges to the homogenized system in the uniform mean square sense. And then based on the convergence result, in the case of correlated sensor L\'evy noises, the nonlinear filtering of the slow part is shown to approximate that of the homogenized system in $L^1$ sense. However, in the case of correlated L\'evy noises, we prove that the nonlinear filtering of the slow part converges weakly to that of the homogenized system., Comment: 21 pages

Based on a recent result on characterising the path-independence of the Girsanov transformation for non-Lipschnitz stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with jumps on $R^d$, in this paper, we extend our consideration of characterising the path-indpendent property from finite-dimensional SDEs with jumps to stochastic evolution equations with jumps in Hilbert spaces. This is done via Galerkin type finite-dimensional approximations of the infinite-dimensional stochastic evolution equations with jumps in the manner that one could then link the characterisation of the path-independence for finite-dimensional jump type SDEs to that for the infinite-dimensional settings. Our result provides an intrinsic link of infinite-dimensional stochastic evolution equations with jumps to infinite-dimensional partial integro-differential equations., Comment: 19 pages

Finally, we give an example to explain our result., Comment: 24 pages

Vibrio cholerae is a globally distributed water-borne pathogen that causes severe diarrheal disease and mortality, with current outbreaks as part of the seventh pandemic. Further understanding of the role of environmental factors in potential pathogen distribution and corresponding V. cholerae disease transmission over time and space is urgently needed to target surveillance of cholera and other climate and water-sensitive diseases. We used an ecological niche model (ENM) to identify environmental variables associated with V. cholerae presence in marine environments, to project a global model of V. cholerae distribution in ocean waters under current and future climate scenarios. We generated an ENM using published reports of V. cholerae in seawater and freely available remotely sensed imagery. Models indicated that factors associated with V. cholerae presence included chlorophyll-a, pH, and sea surface temperature (SST), with chlorophyll-a demonstrating the greatest explanatory power from variables selected for model calibration. We identified specific geographic areas for potential V. cholerae distribution. Coastal Bangladesh, where cholera is endemic, was found to be environmentally similar to coastal areas in Latin America. In a conservative climate change scenario, we observed a predicted increase in areas with environmental conditions suitable for V. cholerae. Findings highlight the potential for vulnerability maps to inform cholera surveillance, early warning systems, and disease prevention and control., Comment: This manuscript was accepted by Acta Tropica.

After defining non-Gaussian L\'evy processes for two-sided time, stochastic differential equations with such L\'evy processes are considered. Solution paths for these stochastic differential equations have countable jump discontinuities in time. Topological equivalence (or conjugacy) for such an It\^o stochastic differential equation and its transformed random differential equation is established. Consequently, a stochastic Hartman-Grobman theorem is proved for the linearization of the It\^o stochastic differential equation. Furthermore, for Marcus stochastic differential equations,this topological equivalence is used to prove existence of global random attractors., Comment: 23 pages
