We study a class of interacting particle systems on $\mathbb{R}$ with two types. Particles evolve by independent jumps sampled from a fixed distribution, with type-dependent jump rates $v_+$, $v_-$ and stochastic type switching driven by…
We show that a scaling approach successfully characterizes clustering and intermittency in space and time, in systems of noninteracting particles driven by fluctuating surfaces. We study both the steady state and the approach to it, for…
We consider critical branching Brownian motion with absorption, in which there is initially a single particle at $x > 0$, particles move according to independent one-dimensional Brownian motions with the critical drift of $-\sqrt{2}$, and…
We experimentally study a gas of $N = 8$ one-dimensional Brownian particles, each confined in a harmonic trap with identical stiffness. The stiffness switches simultaneously between two values at random Poissonian times. This collective…
We study the distribution of the 'gap time', the first time that a large gap appears, in the spatial birth and death point process on $[0,1]$ in which particles are added uniformly in space at rate $\lambda$ and are removed independently at…
In this paper, we introduce a one-dimensional model of particles performing independent random walks, where only pairs of particles can produce offspring ("cooperative branching"), and particles that land on an occupied site merge with the…
We consider the simple exclusion process in the integer segment $ [1, N]$ with $k\le N/2$ particles and spatially inhomogenous jumping rates. A particle at site $x\in [ 1, N]$ jumps to site $x-1$ (if $x\ge 2$) at rate $1-\omega_x$ and to…
We consider the moving particle process in Rd which is defined in the following way. There are two independent sequences (Tk) and (dk) of random variables. The variables Tk are non negative and form an increasing sequence, while variables…
A one dimensional $A+A \to \emptyset$ system where the direction of motion of the particles is determined by the position of the nearest neighours is studied. The particles move with a probability $0.5 + \epsi$ towards their nearest…
In this article we study a system of $N$ particles, each of them being defined by the couple of a position (in $\mathbb{R}^d$) and a so-called orientation which is an element of a compact Riemannian manifold. This orientation can be seen as…
We study the contact process with stirring on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In this process, particles occupy vertices of $\mathbb{Z}^d$; each particle dies with rate 1 and generates a new particle at a randomly chosen neighboring vertex with rate…
Systems driven far from equilibrium may exhibit anomalous density fluctuations: active matter with orientational order display giant density fluctuations at large scale, while systems of interacting particles close to an absorbing phase…
We revisit the discrete additive and multiplicative coalescents, starting with $n$ particles with unit mass. These cases are known to be related to some "combinatorial coalescent processes": a time reversal of a fragmentation of Cayley…
We investigate the work fluctuations in an overdamped non-equilibrium process that is stopped at a stochastic time. The latter is characterized by a first passage event that marks the completion of the non-equilibrium process. In…
The asymptotic behavior of a stochastic network represented by a birth and death processes of particles on a compact state space is analyzed. Births: Particles are created at rate $\lambda_+$ and their location is independent of the current…
We study sorting of permutations by random swaps if each comparison gives the wrong result with some fixed probability $p<1/2$. We use this process as prototype for the behaviour of randomized, comparison-based optimization heuristics in…
The orientational memory of particles can serve as an effective measure of diffusivity, spreading, and search efficiency in complex stochastic processes. We develop a theoretical framework to describe the decay of directional correlations…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a system of $n$ coupled, self-propelled particles: $\ddot r_k = (\alpha-\beta |\dot r_k|^2)\dot r_k - \frac{\gamma}{n}\sum_{m=1}^n(r_k-r_m)$, $r_k\in \mathbb R^2.$ Numerical experiments indicate that,…
Properties of nanoparticles have been studied within the framework of Ising model and the method of random-field interactions: the average magnetic moment and position of critical points of the magnetic and the concentration phase…
We study the dynamics of an infinite system of point particles of two types. They perform random jumps in $\mathbf{R}^d$ in the course of which particles of different types repel each other whereas those of the same type do not interact.…
