The numerical solutions of the non-linear evolution equation are shown to display the ``geometric'' scaling recently discovered in the experimental data. The phenomena hold both for proton and nucleus targets for all $x$ below $10^{-2}$ and…

We consider an idealized network, formed by N neurons individually described by the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations and connected by electrical synapses. The limit for N to infinity of the resulting discrete model is thoroughly investigated, with…

The lilypond model on a point process in $d$-space is a growth-maximal system of non-overlapping balls centred at the points. We establish central limit theorems for the total volume and the number of components of the lilypond model on a…

The finite-size scaling function and the leading corrections for the single species 1D coagulation model $(A + A \rightarrow A)$ and the annihilation model $(A + A \rightarrow \emptyset)$ are calculated. The scaling functions are universal…

For interacting particle systems that satisfies the gradient condition, the hydrodynamic limit and the equilibrium fluctuations are well known. We prove that under the presence of a symmetric random environment, these scaling limits also…

Analysis of mathematical models in ecology and epidemiology often focuses on asymptotic dynamics, such as stable equilibria and periodic orbits. However, many systems exhibit long transient behaviors where certain aspects of the dynamics…

We present an analytical description of the large-amplitude stationary oscillations of the finite discrete system of harmonically-coupled pendulums without any restrictions to their amplitudes (excluding a vicinity of $\pi$). Although this…

We describe an explicitly discrete model of the process of DNA branch migration. The model matches the existing data well, but we find that branch migration along long strands of DNA ($N \simge 40$~bp) is also well modeled by continuum…

We formulate a scaling theory for the long-time diffusive motion in a space occluded by a high density of moving obstacles in dimensions 1, 2 and 3. Our tracers diffuse anomalously over many decades in time, before reaching a diffusive…
