Conventional discrete-to-continuum approaches have seen their limitation in describing the collective behaviour of the multi-polar configurations of dislocations, which are widely observed in crystalline materials. The reason is that…
We consider the Boolean model with random radii based on Cox point processes. Under a condition of stabilization for the random environment, we establish existence and non-existence of subcritical regimes for the size of the cluster at the…
A percolation model is proposed to explain the structural phase transitions found in Li$_{1-x}$H$_x$IO$_3$ mixed crystals as a function of the concentration parameter $x$. The percolation thresholds are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations…
The transition to synchrony in the Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators with a uniform distribution of natural frequencies is discontinuous. We extend the theory of this transition to the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model, taking…
The standard Axelrod model of cultural dissemination, based on discrete cultural traits, exhibits a non-equilibrium phase transition but is inherently limited by its inability to continuously probe the critical behavior. We address this…
Reaction-diffusion equations describe various spatially extended processes that unfold as traveling fronts moving at constant velocity. We introduce and solve analytically a model that, besides such fronts, supports solutions advancing as…
In this paper, we consider the problem of set-point tracking for a discrete-time plant with unknown plant parameters belonging to a convex and compact uncertainty set. We carry out parameter estimation for an associated auxiliary plant, and…
Two standard models of sol-gel transition are revisited here from the point of view of their fluctutations in various moments of both the mass-distribution and the gel-mass. Bond-percolation model is an at-equilibrium system and undergoes a…
Deterministic rate equations are widely used in the study of stochastic, interacting particles systems. This approach assumes that the inherent noise, associated with the discreteness of the elementary constituents, may be neglected when…
We consider a model of aggregation, both diffusion-limited and ballistic, based on the Cayley tree. Growth is from the leaves of the tree towards the root, leading to non-trivial screening and branch competition effects. The model exhibits…
We develop the theory of the k-core (bootstrap) percolation on uncorrelated random networks with arbitrary degree distributions. We show that the k-core percolation is an unusual, hybrid phase transition with a jump emergence of the k-core…
We examine the interplay between anisotropy and percolation, i.e., the spontaneous formation of a system spanning cluster in an anisotropic model. We simulate an extension of a benchmark model of continuum percolation, the Boolean model,…
We define a percolation problem on the basis of spin configurations of the two dimensional XY model. Neighboring spins belong to the same percolation cluster if their orientations differ less than a certain threshold called the conducting…
We study the Gierer-Meinhardt model of reaction-diffusion on a site-disordered square lattice. Let $p$ be the site occupation probability of the square lattice. For $p$ greater than a critical value $p_c$, the steady state consists of…
We propose the $K$-selective percolation process as a model for the iterative removals of nodes with the specific intermediate degree in complex networks. In the model, a random node with degree $K$ is deactivated one by one until no more…
Controlled experimental studies of percolation are challenging due to difficulties in tuning site connectivity, isolating local interactions, and mitigating finite-size effects. In this work, we experimentally investigate percolation with a…
We propose a mathematical model, namely a reaction-diffusion system, to describe social behaviour of cockroaches. An essential new aspect in our model is that the dispersion behaviour due to overcrowding effect is taken into account {as a…
Bootstrap, or $k$-core, percolation displays on the Bethe lattice a mixed first/second order phase transition with both a discontinuous order parameter and diverging critical fluctuations. I apply the recently introduced $M$-layer technique…
We show that the growth of a unimodular random rooted tree $(T,o)$ of degree bounded by $d$ always exists, assuming its upper growth passes the critical threshold $\sqrt{d-1}$. This complements Timar's work who showed the possible…
We describe the effect of power-law initial distributions of clusters on ordinary percolation and its generalizations, specifically, models of explosive percolation processes based on local optimization. These aggregation processes were…
