This paper concerns the homogenization problem of a parabolic equation with large, time-dependent, random potentials in high dimensions $d\geq 3$. Depending on the competition between temporal and spatial mixing of the randomness, the…
We study the relaxation time of a generic plasma which is perturbed by means of a time-dependent pulsed force. This time pulse is modelled using a Gaussian superposition. During such a pulse two forces are considered: An inhomogeneous…
Divergence-form operators with stationary random coefficients homogenize over large scales. We investigate the effect of certain perturbations of the medium on the homogenized coefficients. The perturbations that we consider are rare at the…
We consider the problem of finding the homogenization limit of oscillating linear elliptic equations on an arbitrary parallelizable manifold $(M,g,\Gamma)$. We replicate the concept of two-scale convergence by pulling back tensors $T$…

We present in this paper an approach for computing the homogenized behavior of a medium that is a small random perturbation of a periodic reference material. The random perturbation we consider is, in a sense made precise in our work, a…
Elliptic homogenization is used to determine coarse-grained properties of materials with features on small scales for heat transfer and elasticity. When microstructural features of a material have rapid, periodic fluctuations, the solution…
We derive a central limit theorem for the number of vertices of convex polytopes induced by stationary Poisson hyperplane processes in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This result generalizes an earlier one proved by Paroux [Adv. in Appl. Probab. 30 (1998)…

Singular exponential nonlinearities of the form $e^{h(x)\epsilon^{-1}}$ with $\epsilon>0$ small occur in many different applications. These terms have essential singularities for $\epsilon=0$ leading to very different behaviour depending on…
The Central Limit Theorem does not hold for strongly correlated stochastic variables, as is the case for statistical systems close to criticality. Recently, the calculation of the probability distribution function (PDF) of the magnetization…

Homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments (hNRMIs) represent a broad class of Bayesian nonparametric priors and thus are widely used. In this paper, we obtain the strong law of large numbers, the central limit…
We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem, with periodic oscillation in the elliptic operator and on the boundary condition. Our focus is on problems posed in half-spaces, but with general normal directions that may not be parallel to the…
The Central Limit Theorem states that, in the limit of a large number of terms, an appropriately scaled sum of independent random variables yields another random variable whose probability distribution tends to a stable distribution. The…
This investigation is motivated by PDE-constrained optimization problems arising in connection with electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electroencephalography (EEG). Standard sparsity regularization does not necessarily produce adequate results…
