It is well known that the addition of noise to a multistable dynamical system can induce random transitions from one stable state to another. For low noise, the times between transitions have an exponential tail and Kramers' formula gives…
Transferability captures the ability of an attack against a machine-learning model to be effective against a different, potentially unknown, model. Empirical evidence for transferability has been shown in previous work, but the underlying…
Transitions between multiple stable states of nonlinear systems are ubiquitous in physics, chemistry, and beyond. Two types of behaviors are usually seen as mutually exclusive: unpredictable noise-induced transitions and predictable…
Convergence is proved for solutions of Dirichlet problems in regions with many small excluded sets (holes), as the holes become smaller and more numerous. The problem is formulated in the context of Markov processes associated with general…
There are two types of particles interacting on a homogeneous tree of degree d + 1. The particles of the first type colonize the empty space with exponential rate 1, but cannot take over the vertices that are occupied by the second type.…
We consider an interacting particle system on the one dimensional lattice $\bf Z$ modeling combustion. The process depends on two integer parameters $2\le a<M<\infty$. Particles move independently as continuous time simple symmetric random…
A topological dynamical system induces two natural systems, one is on the hyperspace and the other one is on the probability space. The connection among some dynamical properties on the original space and on the induced spaces are…
Using the results of Ding, Lee, Peres [3], we develop formulas to compute the hitting times and cover times for random walks on groups. We developed an explicit formula for hitting times in terms of the irreducible representations of the…
In this paper, we are concerned with mean hitting time $\langle\mathcal{H}\rangle$ for random walks on recursive growth tree networks that are built based on an arbitrary tree as the seed via implementing various primitive graphic…
The escape of particles through a narrow absorbing gate in confined domains is a abundant phenomenon in various systems in physics, chemistry and molecular biophysics. We consider the narrow escape problem in a cellular flow when the two…
The L\'evy walk process with rests is discussed. The jumping time is governed by an $\alpha$-stable distribution with $\alpha>1$ while a waiting time distribution is Poissonian and involves a position-dependent rate which reflects a…
Recently for a class of critically intermittent random systems a phase transition was found for the finiteness of the absolutely continuous invariant measure. The systems for which this result holds are characterized by the interplay…
If a system is at thermodynamic equilibrium, an observer cannot tell whether a film of it is being played forward or in reverse: any transition will occur with the same frequency in the forward as in the reverse direction. However, if…
We explore the escape dynamics in open Hamiltonian systems with multiple channels of escape continuing the work initiated in Part I. A thorough numerical investigation is conducted distinguishing between trapped (ordered and chaotic) and…
Monte Carlo simulation is used to study the dynamical crossover from single file diffusion to normal diffusion in fluids confined to narrow channels. We show that the long time diffusion coefficients for a series of systems involving hard…
We study a competitive stochastic growth model called chase-escape in which red particles spread to adjacent uncolored sites and blue only to adjacent red sites. Red particles are killed when blue occupies the same site. If blue has rate-1…
We study the periodic orbits and the escapes in two different dynamical systems, namely (1) a classical system of two coupled oscillators, and (2) the Manko-Novikov metric (1992) which is a perturbation of the Kerr metric (a general…
We study the trajectories followed by a particle subjected to weak noise when escaping from the domain of attraction of a stable fixed point. If detailed balance is absent, a _focus_ may occur along the most probable exit path, leading to a…
We consider random walks in which the walk originates in one set of nodes and then continues until it reaches one or more nodes in a target set. The time required for the walk to reach the target set is of interest in understanding the…
Many physical and chemical phenomena are governed by stochastic escape across potential barriers. The escape time depends on the structure of the noise and the shape of the potential barrier. By applying $\alpha$-stable noise from the…
