For the nonlinear power flow problem specified with standard PQ, PV, and slack bus equality constraints, we present a sufficient condition under which the specified set of nonlinear algebraic equations has no solution. This sufficient…
We study a percolation model with restrictions on the opening of sites on the square lattice. In this model, each site $s \in \mathbb{Z}^{2}$ starts closed and an attempt to open it occurs at time $t=t_s$, where $(t_s)_{s \in \mathbb{Z}^2}$…
We consider the one-dimensional partially asymmetric exclusion process with random hopping rates, in which a fraction of particles (or sites) have a preferential jumping direction against the global drift. In this case the accumulated…
We reconsider the long-standing question of the critical defect hopping rate $r_c$ in the one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP) with a slow bond (defect). For $r< r_c$ a phase separated state is observed due to…
We consider white noise perturbations of a nonlinear dynamical system in the neighborhood of an unstable critical point with linearization given by a Jordan block of full dimension. For the associated exit problem, we study the joint…
We consider a one-dimensional stochastic reaction-diffusion generalizing the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, and aiming at describing single lane roads with vehicles that can change speed. To each particle is associated a jump…
The shallow water system with a bed jump describes a fluid flow over a dam, represented by a simple step function with the Riemann initial data is such that the vacuum is on the right-hand side. The main question is whether the fluid will…
We investigate Bernoulli free boundary problems prescribing infinite jump conditions. The mathematical set-up leads to the analysis of non-differentiable minimization problems of the form $\int \left(\nabla u\cdot (A(x)\nabla u) +…
We study how much water can be retained without leaking through boundaries when each unit square of a two-dimensional lattice is randomly assigned a block of unit bottom area but with different heights from zero to $n-1$. As more blocks are…
We study lower large deviations for the current of totally asymmetric zero-range processes on a ring with concave current-density relation. We use an approach by Jensen and Varadhan which has previously been applied to exclusion processes,…
We consider a blow-up solution for the semilinear wave equation in $N$ dimensions, with subconformal power nonlinearity. Introducing $\RR_0$ the set of non-characteristic points with the Lorentz transform of the space-independent solution…
A fundamental problem of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is the derivation of macroscopic transport equations in the hydrodynamic limit. The rigorous study of such limits requires detailed information about rates of convergence to…
In this paper, we studied the long-wave instability of the shear flows. When the wavenumber of perturbation is larger than the critical value, the flow is always neutrally stable. First, we obtain a new upper bound for the neutral…
We consider the semilinear wave equation with a power nonlinearity in the radial case. Given $r_0>0$, we construct a blow-up solution such that the solution near $(r_0,T(r_0))$ converges exponentially to a soliton. Moreover, we show that…
Critical Reynolds numbers for the monotone exponential energy stability of Couette and Poiseuille plane flows were obtained by Orr 1907 \cite{Orr1907} in a famous paper, and by Joseph 1966 \cite{Joseph1966}, Joseph and Carmi 1969…
We study the workload processes of two restricted M/G/1 queueing systems: in Model 1 any service requirement that would exceed a certain capacity threshold is truncated; in Model 2 new arrivals do not enter the system if they have to wait…
We study a generalization of the $M/G/1$ system (denoted by $rM/G/1$) with independent and identically distributed (iid) service times and with an arrival process whose arrival rate $\lambda_0f(r)$ depends on the remaining service time $r$…
This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamics of Newton's problem of minimal resistance in radial fields. We move beyond classical translational symmetry to analyze two non-equilibrium scenarios: a scale-invariant free expansion and an…
We present the application of a fluctuating hydrodynamic theory to study current fluctuations in diffusive systems on a semi-infinite line in contact with a reservoir with slow coupling. We show that the distribution of the time-integrated…
We investigate the first passage time beyond a barrier located at $b\geq0$ of a random walk with independent and identically distributed jumps, starting from $x_0=0$. The walk is subject to stochastic resetting, meaning that after each step…
