Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Mathieu's equation are found in the short wavelength limit using a uniform approximation (method of comparison with a `known' equation having the same classical turning point structure) applied in Fourier…

Starting from a simple animal-biology example, a general, somewhat counter-intuitive property of diffusion random walks is presented. It is shown that for any (non-homogeneous) purely diffusing system, under any isotropic uniform incidence,…

A semi-martingale reflecting Brownian motion is a popular process for diffusion approximations of queueing models including their networks. In this paper, we are concerned with the case that it lives on the nonnegative half-line, but the…

We consider the motion of a particle governed by a weakly random Hamiltonian flow. We identify temporal and spatial scales on which the particle trajectory converges to a spatial Brownian motion. The main technical issue in the proof is to…

In this communication, the closure formulas of von K\'arm\'an--Howarth and Corrsin equations are obtained through the Liouville theorem and the hypothesis of homogeneous isotropic incompressible turbulence. Such closures, based on the…

We consider variational integrals of linear growth satisfying the condition of $\mu$-ellipticity for some exponent $\mu >1$ and prove that stationary points $u$: $\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^N$ with the property \[ \limsup_{|x|\to \infty}…

We present a universal view on diffusive behaviour in chaotic spatially extended systems for anisotropic and isotropic media. For anisotropic systems, strong chaos leads to diffusive behaviour (Brownian motion with drift) and weak chaos…

We present a symmetry result regarding stationary solutions of the 2D Euler equations in a disk. We prove that in a disk, a steady flow with only one stagnation point and tangential boundary conditions is a circular flow, which confirms a…

In a recent letter [Europhys. Lett. 95, 13001 (2011)] the question of whether the density of a time-dependent quantum system determines its external potential was reformulated as a fixed point problem. This idea was used to generalize the…

We consider a diffusion process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a generator of the form $ L:=\frac 12 e^{V(x)}div(e^{-V(x)}\nabla ) $ where $V$ is measurable and periodic. We only assume that $e^V$ and $e^{-V}$ are locally integrable. We then show…

In 1994 J. Lewis obtained a purely harmonic proof of the classical Little Picard Theorem by showing that if the joint value distribution of two entire harmonic functions satisfies certain restrictions then they are necessarily constant. We…

We consider entire solutions $u$ of the equations describing the stationary flow of a generalized Newtonian fluid in 2D concentrating on the question, if a Liouville-type result holds in the sense that the boundedness of $u$ implies its…

This article presents a review of some old and new results on the long time behavior of reflected diffusions. First, we present a summary of prior results on construction, ergodicity and geometric ergodicity of reflected diffusions in the…

We consider a Hartree equation for a random variable, which describes the temporal evolution of infinitely many Fermions. On the Euclidean space, this equation possesses equilibria which are not localised. We show their stability through a…

We explore whether quantum field theory can be understood as the statistical mechanics of a time-reversal-invariant stochastic generalization of Hamiltonian dynamics. The motivation for this project, started with this paper, is to assign…

We prove an invariance principle for a class of tilted (1+1)-dimensional SOS models or, equivalently, for a class of tilted random walk bridges in Z_+. The limiting objects are stationary reversible ergodic diffusions with drifts given by…

This paper presents a systematic study for analytic aspects of discrete spectra methods for convolution of functions supported on disks, according to the Sturm-Liouville theory. We then investigate different aspects of the presented theory…

Localized patterns in singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equations typically consist of slow parts -- in which the associated solution follows an orbit on a slow manifold in a reduced spatial dynamical system -- alternated by fast…

In this paper,under an abstract setting we establish the existence of spatially inhomogeneous steady states and the asymptotic propagation properties for a large class of monotone evolution systems without spatial translation invariance.…

We study the asymptotic and pre-asymptotic diffusive properties of Brownian particles in channels whose section varies periodically in space. The effective diffusion coefficient $D_{\mathrm{eff}}$ is numerically determined by the asymptotic…
