We begin by reviewing the derivation of generalized Maxwell equations from an operational definition of the electromagnetic field and the most basic notions of what constitutes a dynamical field theory. These equations encompass the…

We consider the fully-coupled McKean-Vlasov equation with multi-time-scale potentials, and all the coefficients depend on the distributions of both the slow component and the fast motion. By studying the smoothness of the solution of the…

We prove that distribution dependent (also called McKean--Vlasov) stochastic delay equations of the form \begin{equation*} \mathrm{d}X(t)= b(t,X_t,\mathcal{L}_{X_t})\mathrm{d}t+ \sigma(t,X_t,\mathcal{L}_{X_t})\mathrm{d}W(t) \end{equation*}…

In this paper we consider a viscoelastic three dimensional body (of Maxwell-Boltzmann type) controlled on (part of) the boundary. We assume that the material is isotropic and homogeneous. If the body is elastic (i.e. no dissipation due to…

Newtonian dynamics is derived from prior information codified into an appropriate statistical model. The basic assumption is that there is an irreducible uncertainty in the location of particles so that the state of a particle is defined by…
