In the case of diffusions on $\mathbb R^d$ with constant diffusion matrix, without assuming reversibility nor hypoellipticity, we prove that the contractivity of the deterministic drift is equivalent to the constant rate contraction of…
The self averaging properties of conductance $g$ are explored in random resistor networks with a broad distribution of bond strengths $P(g)\simg^{\mu-1}$. Distributions of equivalent conductances are estimated numerically on hierarchical…
Iterative imputation, in which variables are imputed one at a time each given a model predicting from all the others, is a popular technique that can be convenient and flexible, as it replaces a potentially difficult multivariate modeling…

Starting with a transient irreducible diffusion process $X^0$ on a locally compact separable metric space $(D, d)$, one can construct a canonical symmetric reflected diffusion process $\bar X$ on a completion $D^*$ of $(D, d)$ through the…
The Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) is studied as a powerful tool to detect hard or soft faults in star-shaped networks of nonuniform lossless transmission lines. Processing the FDR measurements leads to solve an inverse scattering…
We present proofs for the existence of distributional potentials $F\in{\mathcal D}'(\Omega)$ for distributional vector fields $G\in{\mathcal D}'(\Omega)^n$, i.e. $\operatorname{grad} F=G$, where $\Omega$ is an open subset of ${\mathbb…
When a beam of light is reflected by a smooth surface its behavior deviates from geometrical optics predictions. Such deviations are quantified by the so-called spatial and angular Goos-Haenchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts of the…
Semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions (SRBMs) living in the closures of domains with piecewise smooth boundaries are of interest in applied probability because of their role as heavy traffic approximations for some stochastic networks.…
