We study numerically a two-component A-B spreading model (SMK model) for concave and convex radial growth of 2d-geometries. The seed is chosen to be an occupied circle line, and growth spreads inside the circle (concave geometry) or outside…

Investigation of the effect of the dynamical stage of heavy-ion collisions indicates that the increasing width of the initial isospin distributions is reflected by a significant modification of the isoscaling slope for the final isotopic…
In this paper we focus on three problems about the spreading speeds of nonlocal dispersal Fisher-KPP equations. First, we study the signs of spreading speeds and find that they are determined by the asymmetry level of the nonlocal dispersal…
Two-piece location-scale models are used for modeling data presenting departures from symmetry. In this paper, we propose an objective Bayesian methodology for the tail parameter of two particular distributions of the above family: the…
Extremal dynamics is the mechanism that drives the Bak-Sneppen model into a (self-organized) critical state, marked by a singular stationary probability density $p(x)$. With the aim of understanding this phenomenon, we study the BS model…

The Bak Sneppen (BS) model is a very simple model that exhibits all the richness of self-organized criticality theory. At the thermodynamic limit, the BS model converges to a situation where all particles have a fitness that is uniformly…
