We present a scheme for simulating conditioned semimartingales taking values in Riemannian manifolds. Extending the guided bridge proposal approach used for simulating Euclidean bridges, the scheme replaces the drift of the conditioned…
The stability of sand castles is determined by the structure of wet granulates. Experimental data about the size distribution of fluid pockets are ambiguous about their origin. We discovered that contact angle hysteresis plays a fundamental…
It is proposed two models describing transport and absorbtion processes that occur in nanoscale fragments of electrical circuits, pulled adsorbed molecules, atomic or molecular chains connecting electrodes. Discrete chain model of a…
We prove that bridges of subelliptic diffusions on a compact manifold, with distinct ends, satisfy a large deviation principle in a space of Holder continuous functions, with a good rate function, when the travel time tends to 0. This leads…

I determine the scaling behavior of the free energy barriers encountered by a flux line in moving through a three-dimensional random potential. A combination of numerical simulations and analytic arguments suggest that these barriers scale…

Confined thin structures are ubiquitous in nature. Spatial and length constraints have led to a number of novel packing strategies at both the micro-scale, as when DNA packages inside a capsid, and the macro-scale, seen in plant root…
Using mesoscopic interfacial models and microscopic density functional theory we study fluid adsorption at a dry wall decorated with three completely wet stripes of width $L$ separated by distances $D_1$ and $D_2$. The stripes interact with…
In this article we study the convex hull spanned by the union of trajectories of a standard planar Brownian motion, and an independent standard planar Brownian bridge. We find exact values of the expectation of perimeter and area of such a…
We study from first principles the transport properties of Al/AlOx/Al tunnel junctions. On this basis, we analyze the reliability of two analytical models for the conductance, namely the trapezoid potential barrier model and a tight-binding…

We study a nonlocal evolution equation modeling the deformation of a bridge, either a footbridge or a suspension bridge. Contrarily to the previous literature we prove the asymptotic stability of the considered model with a minimum amount…
Wind-traffic interactions strongly influence the dynamic response of long-span bridges, yet loads are often analysed independently. This work models concurrent wind and traffic and demonstrates that it differs from linear superposition.…
This paper motivates the use of random-bridges -- stochastic processes conditioned to take target distributions at fixed timepoints -- in the realm of generative modelling. Herein, random-bridges can act as stochastic transports between two…
In this paper, we establish a relationship between the asymptotic form of conditional boundary crossing probabilities and first passage time densities for diffusion processes. Namely, we show that, under broad assumptions, the first…
We study the statistics of meanders, i.e. configurations of a road crossing a river through "n" bridges, and possibly winding around the source, as a toy model for compact folding of polymers. We introduce a Monte-Carlo method which allows…
We extend our previous results characterizing the loading properties of a diffusing passive scalar advected by a laminar shear flow in ducts and channels to more general cross-sectional shapes, including regular polygons and smoothed corner…
