Boundary regularity conjecture for Hawkes-process resolvent functions

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let A>0A>0, let β>1\beta>1, and suppose that the functions h0\boldsymbol{h}^0 belong to Cβ([0,A])C^\beta([0,A]). For (l,j,k)∈[K]3(l,j,k)\in[K]^3, r∈{1,…,⌊β⌋}r\in\{1,\ldots,\lfloor\beta\rfloor\}, i∈{0,…,r−1}i\in\{0,\ldots,r-1\}, and c≥0c\geq 0, define

pr,k[2](x,s,l,j):=E0(x,s,l,j)[1λAk(fk0)r],p^{[2]}_{r,k}(x,s,l,j):=\mathbb{E}^{(x,s,l,j)}_0\left[\frac{1}{\lambda_A^k(f_k^0)^r}\right],

and

pr,i,c,k![2](x,s,l,j):=E0(x,s,l,j)[1λAk(fk0,!(s,j))r−i(λAk(fk0,!(s,j))+c)i+1].p^{![2]}_{r,i,c,k}(x,s,l,j):=\mathbb{E}^{(x,s,l,j)}_0\left[\frac{1}{\lambda_A^k(f_k^0,!(s,j))^{r-i}\bigl(\lambda_A^k(f_k^0,!(s,j))+c\bigr)^{i+1}}\right].

Here ∥⋅∥Cβ\|\cdot\|_{C^\beta} denotes the usual Hölder norm on [0,A][0,A].

Boundary regularity conjecture. For every x∈[0,A]x\in[0,A], there exists a version of s↦pr,i,c,k![2](x,s,l,j)s\mapsto p^{![2]}_{r,i,c,k}(x,s,l,j) that is continuous at 00 and at AA. Moreover, there exist versions of x↦pr,i,c,k![2](x,A,l,j)x\mapsto p^{![2]}_{r,i,c,k}(x,A,l,j) and x↦pr,i,c,k![2](x,0,l,j)x\mapsto p^{![2]}_{r,i,c,k}(x,0,l,j) belonging to Cβ([0,A])C^\beta([0,A]), and

∫0A∥pr,k[2](⋅,s,l,j)∥Cβ ds<+∞.\int_0^A\left\|p^{[2]}_{r,k}(\cdot,s,l,j)\right\|_{C^\beta}\,ds<+\infty.

These regularity properties are conjectured uniformly over the displayed choices of indices and parameter cc; they provide the boundary and Hölder regularity needed for semiparametric analysis of multivariate Hawkes processes. The source does not give evidence that this conjecture has been resolved.
