  1. J. M. Tölle (with E. Hausenblas). The stochastic Klausmeier system and a stochastic Schauder-Tychonoff type theorem. Preprint, submitted (2019), 27 pp., arXiv:1912.00996.

    Abstract.

    show abstract

    We investigate the existence of a pair of nonnegative solutions to the stochastic system of advection-diffusion equations proposed by Klausmeier with Gaussian multiplicative noise. The proof of existence is based upon a stochastic version of the Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem, which is also proved here.

  2. J. M. Tölle (with P. Beissner). A compact topology for σ-algebra convergence. Preprint, submitted (2018), 23 pp., arXiv:1802.05920.

    Abstract.

    show abstract

    We propose a sequential topology on the space of sub-σ-algebras of a separable probability space (Ω, ℱ, ℙ) by linking conditional expectations on L2 along sequences of sub-σ-algebras. The varying index of measurability is captured by a bundle space construction. As a consequence, we establish the compactness of the space of sub-σ-algebras. The proposed topology preserves independence and is compatible with join and meet operations.
