We analyze an optimal stopping problem with random maturity under a nonlinear expectation with respect to a weakly compact set of mutually singular probabilities $\mathcal{P}$. The maturity is specified as the hitting time to level $0$ of…

This paper deals with maximum entropy completion of partially specified block-circulant matrices. Since positive definite symmetric circulants happen to be covariance matrices of stationary periodic processes, in particular of stationary…

We consider a new type of optimal stopping problems where the absorbing boundary moves as the state process X attains new maxima S. More specifically, we set the absorbing boundary as S-b where b is a certain constant. This problem is…

For spherically symmetric relativistic perfect fluid models, the well-known Buchdahl inequality provides the bound $2 M/R \leq 8/9$, where $R$ denotes the surface radius and $M$ the total mass of a solution. By assuming that the ratio…

Let $X$ be a $n$-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, solution of the S.D.E. $$\d X_t = AX_t \d t + \d B_t$$ where $A$ is a real $n\times n$ matrix and $B$ a L\'evy process without Gaussian part. We show that when $A$ is non-singular,…

We consider the wave equation in space dimension $3$, with an energy-supercritical nonlinearity which can be either focusing or defocusing. For any radial solution of the equation, with positive maximal time of existence $T$, we prove that…

The Join-the-Shortest-Queue (JSQ) policy is among the most widely used load balancing algorithms and has been extensively studied. However, an exact characterization of the system behavior remains challenging. Most prior research has…

Stochastic driven flow along a channel can be modeled by the asymmetric simple exclusion process. We confirm numerically the presence of a dynamic queuing phase transition at a nonzero obstruction strength, and establish its scaling…

We solve an optimal stopping problem where the underlying diffusion is Brownian motion on $\bf R$ with a positive drift changing at zero. It is assumed that the drift $\mu_1$ on the negative side is smaller than the drift $\mu_2$ on the…

We consider a parallel server system with so-called cancel-on-completion redundancy. There are $n$ servers and multiple job classes $j$. An arriving class $j$ job consists of $d_j$ components, placed on a randomly selected subset of…

We study analytically a current-biased topological Josephson junction supporting $\mathbb{Z}_n$ parafermions. First, we show that in an infinite-size system a pair of parafermions on the junction can be in $n$ different states; the…

When transmitting information over a noisy channel, two approaches, dating back to Shannon's work, are common: assuming the channel errors are independent of the transmitted content and devising an error-correcting code, or assuming the…

We describe the translation invariant stationary states of the one dimensional discrete-time facilitated totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (F-TASEP). In this system a particle at site $j$ in $Z$ jumps, at integer times, to site…
