Regularity of the impulse control problem for a non-degenerate $n$-dimensional jump diffusion with infinite activity and finite variation jumps was recently examined by Davis, Guo, and Wu (SICON 2010). Here we extend the analysis to include…

The fast-reaction limit for reaction--diffusion systems modelling predator--prey interactions is investigated. In the considered model, predators exist in two possible states, namely searching and handling. The switching rate between these…

We consider a novel McKean--Vlasov control problem with contagion through killing of particles and common noise. Each particle is killed at an exponential rate according to an intensity process that increases whenever the particle is…

A combination of reaction-diffusion models with moving-boundary problems yields a system in which the diffusion (spreading and penetration) and reaction (transformation) evolve the system's state and geometry over time. These systems can be…

We introduce a novel particle-based algorithm for end-to-end training of latent diffusion models. We reformulate the training task as minimizing a free energy functional and obtain a gradient flow that does so. By approximating the latter…

We address the long time behaviour of weakly interacting diffusive particle systems on the d-dimensional torus. Our main result is to show that, under certain regularity conditions, the weak error between the empirical distribution of the…

We discuss the optimal Markovian coupling before an exponential time of the Kolmogorov diffusion, and a class of related stochastic control problems in which the aim is to hit the origin before an exponential time. We provide a scaling…

Rate processes are simple and analytically tractable models for many dynamical systems which switch stochastically between a discrete set of quasi stationary states but they may also approximate continuous processes by coarse grained,…

Biochemical reactions can happen on different time scales and also the abundance of species in these reactions can be very different from each other. Classical approaches, such as deterministic or stochastic approach, fail to account for or…
