We investigate the diffusion limited aggregation of particles executing persistent random walks. The scaling properties of both random walks and large aggregates are presented. The aggregates exhibit a crossover between ballistic and…
Random operators constitute fundamental building blocks of models of complex systems yet are far from fully understood. Here, we explain an asymmetry emerging upon repeating identical isotropic (uniformly random) operations. Specifically,…
We study the asymptotic behavior of a family of functionals which penalize a short-range interaction of convolution type between a finite perimeter set and its complement. We first compute the pointwise limit and we obtain a lower estimate…
An often-cited fact regarding mixing or mixture distributions is that their density functions are able to approximate the density function of any unknown distribution to arbitrary degrees of accuracy, provided that the mixing or mixture…
We apply a probabilistic approach to study the computational complexity of analog computers which solve linear programming problems. We analyze numerically various ensembles of linear programming problems and obtain, for each of these…
In some cases, solutions to nonlinear PDEs happen to be asymptotically (for large $x$ and/or $t$) invariant under a group $G$ which is not a symmetry of the equation. After recalling the geometrical meaning of symmetries of differential…
The eigenvalue spacing of a uniformly chosen random finite unipotent matrix in its permutation action on lines is studied. We obtain bounds for the mean number of eigenvalues lying in a fixed arc of the unit circle and offer an approach…
In this article we investigate the asymptotic behavior of a new class of multi-dimensional diffusions in random environment. We introduce cut times in the spirit of the work done by Bolthausen, Sznitman and Zeitouni, see [4], in the…
Much is known about asymptotic expansions for asymptotically normal distributions if these distributions are either absolutely continuous or pure lattice distributions. In this paper we begin an investigation of the discrete but non-lattice…
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of sums of terms which are a test function f evaluated at successive increments of a discretely sampled semimartingale. Typically the test function is a power function (when the power is…
An approach to modelling random sets with locally finite perimeter as random elements in the corresponding subspace of $L^1$ functions is suggested. A Crofton formula for flat sections of the perimeter is shown. Finally, random processes of…
We investigate in this paper the distribution of the discrepancy of various lattice counting functions. In particular, we prove that the number of lattice points contained in certain domains defined by products of linear forms satisfies a…
In this thesis we show that the partial sums of the Maclaurin series for a certain class of entire functions possess scaling limits in various directions in the complex plane. In doing so we obtain information about the zeros of the partial…
Motivated by some problems in genome assembling, we investigate properties of spacings from absolutely continuous distributions. Several results on the asymptotic behavior of the maximal uniform and non-uniform $k$-spacings are presented.…
We study the volume distribution of nodal domains of random band-limited functions on generic manifolds, and find that in the high energy limit a typical instance obeys a deterministic universal law, independent of the manifold. Some of the…
We establish the asymptotic expansion in $\beta$ matrix models with a confining, off-critical potential, in the regime where the support of the equilibrium measure is a union of segments. We first address the case where the filling…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the Random-Walk Metropolis algorithm on probability densities with two different `scales', where most of the probability mass is distributed along certain key directions with the…
We consider a random walk model in a one-dimensional environment, formed by several zones of finite width with the fixed transition probabilities. It is also assumed that the transitions to the left and right neighboring points have unequal…
The nearest-neighbor level spacing distribution is numerically investigated by directly diagonalizing disordered Anderson Hamiltonians for systems of sizes up to 100 x 100 x 100 lattice sites. The scaling behavior of the level statistics is…
We consider the continued fraction expansion of real numbers under the action of a non-uniform lattice in PSL(2,R) and prove metric relations between the convergents and a natural geometric notion of good approximations.
