We consider the problem of linear fitting of noisy data in the case of broad (say $\alpha$-stable) distributions of random impacts ("noise"), which can lack even the first moment. This situation, common in statistical physics of small…
Multiplicative noise arises in inverse problems when, for example, uncertainty on measurements is proportional to the size of the measurement itself. The likelihood that arises is hence more complicated than that from additive noise. We…
We examine how disordering joint position influences the linear elastic behavior of lattice materials via numerical simulations in two-dimensional beam networks. Three distinct initial crystalline geometries are selected as representative…
Some systems cannot be predicted by classical theories and it is required the development of combined deterministic and stochastic theories that make used of noise for dynamical prediction. Noise is not always an interfering signal which…
We provide an example for stabilization by noise. Our approach does not rely on monotonicity arguments due to the presence of higher order differential operators or mixing properties of the system as the noise might be highly degenerate. In…
Sandpiles form one of the largest class of models displaying a critical stationary state. Despite a few decades of research, a comprehensive and systematic rigorous characterisation of their spatial and, even more, time dependent properties…
This chapter considers the computational and statistical aspects of learning linear thresholds in presence of noise. When there is no noise, several algorithms exist that efficiently learn near-optimal linear thresholds using a small amount…
Stochastic models of surface growth are usually based on randomly choosing a substrate site to perform iterative steps, as in the etching model [1]. In this paper I modify the etching model to perform sequential, instead of random,…
We study sandpile models with stochastic toppling rules and having sticky grains so that with a non-zero probability no toppling occurs, even if the local height of pile exceeds the threshold value. Dissipation is introduced by adding a…
Recent advances in associative memory design through strutured pattern sets and graph-based inference algorithms have allowed the reliable learning and retrieval of an exponential number of patterns. Both these and classical associative…
An experimental arrangement and a set of experiments are developed to generate empirical evidence of the effect of noise on a rotating, macro-scale cantilever structure. The experiment is a controlled representation of a rotating machinery…

We investigate the effect of time-dependent noise on the shape of a morphogen gradient in a developing embryo. Perturbation theory is used to calculate the deviations from deterministic behavior in a simple reaction-diffusion model of…
Motivated by recent experiments in neuroscience which indicate that neuronal avalanches exhibit scale invariant behavior similar to self-organized critical systems, we study the role of noisy (non-conservative) local dynamics on the…
We study the surface roughness of prototype models displaying self-organized criticality (SOC) and their noncritical variants in one dimension. For SOC systems, we find that two seemingly equivalent definitions of surface roughness yields…
Fixed-energy sandpile (FES) models, introduced to understand the self-organized criticality, show a continuous phase transition between absorbing and active phases. In this work, we study the dynamics of the deterministic FES models on…
We study the abelian sandpile model in two dimensions on a directed cylindrical lattice with periodic transverse boundary conditions in the transverse direction and dissipation at one boundary. Recurrent configurations form a finite abelian…
Coupling dynamics of the states of the nodes of a network to the dynamics of the network topology leads to generic absorbing and fragmentation transitions. The coevolving voter model is a typical system that exhibits such transitions at…
We study the patterns generated in finite-time sweeps across symmetry-breaking bifurcations in individual-based models. Similar to the well-known Kibble-Zurek scenario of defect formation, large-scale patterns are generated when model…
