We study here the escape time for the fastest diffusing particle from the boundary of an interval with point-sink killing sources. Killing represents a degradation that leads to the probabilistic removal of the moving Brownian particles. We…

In directed last passage site percolation with i.i.d.~random weights with finite support over a $n\times\lfloor n^{\alpha}\rfloor$ grid, we prove that for $n$ large enough, the order of the $r$-th central moment, $1\le r<+\infty$, of the…

We propose a ballistic coalescence model (punctuated-Hamiltonian approach) mimicking the fusion of vortices in freely decaying two-dimensional turbulence. A temporal scaling behaviour is reached where the vortex density evolves like…

For stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi (SHJ) equations, instability points are the space-time locations where two eternal solutions with the same asymptotic velocity differ. Another crucial structure in such equations is shocks, which are the…

Diffusive transport in many complex systems features a crossover between anomalous diffusion at short times and normal diffusion at long times. This behavior can be mathematically modeled by cutting off (tempering) beyond a mesoscopic…

We uncover a duality between relaxation and first passage processes in ergodic reversible Markovian dynamics in both discrete and continuous state-space. The duality exists in the form of a spectral interlacing -- the respective time scales…

We study low-Reynolds-number fluid flow through a two-dimensional porous medium modeled as a Lorentz gas. Using extensive finite element simulations we fully resolve the flow fields for packing fractions approaching the percolation…

Under typical scaling, the last passage time field of the directed last passage percolation model with exponential site distributions converges to the KPZ fixed point. In this paper, we consider an atypical scenario in which the last…

We study a symmetrized (half-space) version of geometric last passage percolation with a boundary parameter $c$ that interpolates between subcritical, critical, and supercritical behavior. This model gives rise to a family of interlacing…

A new single-time two-point closure is proposed, in which the equation for the two-point correlation between the displacement of a fluid particle and the velocity allows one to estimate a Lagrangian timescale. This timescale is used to…

We consider a wide class of increasing L\'evy processes perturbed by an independent Brownian motion as a degradation model. Such family contains almost all classical degradation models considered in the literature. Classically failure time…

For a spectrally one-sided L\'{e}vy process, we extend various two-sided exit identities to the situation when the process is only observed at arrival epochs of an independent Poisson process. In addition, we consider exit problems of this…
