Evaluating the completion time of a random algorithm or a running stochastic process is a valuable tip not only from a purely theoretical, but also pragmatic point of view. In the formal sense, this kind of a task is specified in terms of…

In this paper, we present an approach to characterising fast-reaction limits of systems with nonlinear diffusion, when there are either two reaction-diffusion equations, or one reaction-diffusion equation and one ordinary differential…

We consider a sequence of Markov chains weakly convergent to a diffusion. We suppose that a drift term contains a linearly increasing component. The usual parametrix method fails because of this unbounded drift term. We show how to modify…

This paper concerns the diffusive limit of the time evolutionary Boltzmann equation in the half space $\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}^+$ for a small Knudsen number $\varepsilon>0$. For boundary conditions in the normal direction, it involves…

The position of a reaction front, propagating into a metastable state, fluctuates because of the shot noise of reactions and diffusion. A recent theory [B. Meerson, P.V. Sasorov, and Y. Kaplan, Phys. Rev. E 84, 011147 (2011)] gave a closed…

This work studies the instability of stochastic scalar reaction diffusion equations, driven by a multiplicative noise that is white in time and smooth in space, near to zero, which is assumed to be a fixed point for the equation. We prove…
