We study a class of kinetic-type differential equations $\partial \phi_t/\partial t+\phi_t=\widehat{\mathcal{Q}}\phi_t$, where $\widehat{\mathcal{Q}}$ is an inhomogeneous smoothing transform and, for every $t\geq 0$, $\phi_t$ is the…

We prove the existence of global, smooth solutions to the 2D Muskat problem in the stable regime whenever the product of the maximal and minimal slopes is strictly less than 1. The curvature of these solutions solutions decays to 0 as $t$…

We consider a one-dimensional stationary time series of fixed duration $T$. We investigate the time $t_{\rm m}$ at which the process reaches the global maximum within the time interval $[0,T]$. By using a path-decomposition technique, we…
