These diffusions are solutions to stochastic differential equations: \\[\\mathrm{d}X_t=\\mathrm{d}B_t-g(t)\\nabla V(X_t-\\bar{\\mu}_t)\\,\\mathrm{d}t,\\] where $\\bar{\\mu}_t$ is the empirical mean of the process $X$, $V$ is an asymptotically strictly convex potential and $g$ is a given function. We study the ergodic behaviour of $X$ and prove that it is strongly related to $g$. Actually, we show that $X$ is ergodic (in the limit quotient sense) if and only if $\\bar{\\mu}_t$ converges a.s. We also give some conditions (on $g$ and $V$) for the almost sure convergence of $X$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-01-04T12:33:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "sure convergence", "ergodic behaviour", "self-interacting diffusions", "stochastic differential equations", "limit quotient sense" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0707.2908C" } } }
