Diffusive transport of particles or, more generally, small objects is a ubiquitous feature of physical and chemical reaction systems. In configurations containing confining walls or constrictions transport is controlled both by the…
In the present paper, we consider that $N$ diffusion processes $X^1,\dots,X^N$ are observed on $[0,T]$, where $T$ is fixed and $N$ grows to infinity. Contrary to most of the recent works, we no longer assume that the processes are…

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain. We prove that when the damping is effective, the solution is approximated by that of the corresponding…
We show that the only flow solving the stochastic differential equation (SDE) on $\RR$ $$dX_t = 1_{\{X_t>0\}}W_+(dt) + 1_{\{X_t<0\}}dW_-(dt),$$ where $W^+$ and $W^-$ are two independent white noises, is a coalescing flow we will denote…
