We illustrate how the notion of asymptotic coupling provides a flexible and intuitive framework for proving the uniqueness of invariant measures for a variety of stochastic partial differential equations whose deterministic counterpart…
We apply a method inspired by Ratner's work on quantitative mixing for the geodesic flow (Ergod. Theory Dyn. Syst., 1987) and developed by Burger (Duke Math. J., 1990) to study ergodic integrals for horocycle flows. We derive an explicit…
In this paper we apply techniques from nonstandard analysis to study expansive dynamical systems. Among other results, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for an expansive homeomorphism on a compact metric space to admit…
Small oscillations of an elastic system of point masses (particles) with a nonlocal interaction are considered. We study the asymptotic behavior of the system, when number of particles tends to infinity, and the distances between them and…
We study right limits of the Bergman Shift matrix. Our results have applications to ratio asymptotics, weak asymptotic measures, relative asymptotics, and zero counting measures of the orthogonal and orthonormal polynomials.
Recent theoretical work has shown that so-called pulled fronts propagating into an unstable state always converge very slowly to their asymptotic speed and shape. In the the light of these predictions, we reanalyze earlier experiments by…
Waves in excitable media can be treated by a simple geometric theory. The propagation velocity is assumed known and evolution of wave fronts is determined by elementary physical principles (Fermat's principle, Huygens' principle). Based on…

In this paper we study aspects of the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on a non-compact negatively curved manifold. It is a well known fact that every continuous potential on a compact metric space has a maximizing measure.…
We develop asymptotic approximations that can be applied to sequential estimation and inference problems, adaptive randomized controlled trials, and related settings. In batched adaptive settings where the decision at one stage can affect…
We consider homogeneous STIT tessellations in the $\ell$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^\ell$. Based on results for the spatial $\beta$-mixing coefficient an upper bound for the variance of additive functionals of tessellations is…
It is shown how the central limit theorem for U-statistics of spatial Poisson point processes can help to derive the central limit theorem for U-statistics of a Gibbs facet process from stochastic geometry. A full-dimensional submodel…
We analyze the asymptotic behavior for a system of fully nonlinear parabolic and elliptic quasi variational inequalities. These equations are related to robust switching control problems introduced in [3]. We prove that, as time horizon…

A pseudorandom point in an ergodic dynamical system over a computable metric space is a point which is computable but its dynamics has the same statistical behavior as a typical point of the system. It was proved in [Avigad et al. 2010,…
We study a Fisher-KPP equation with spatially periodic diffusion and reaction terms. We identify a class of periodic media for which the equation admits an explicit, closed-form solution. Through a nonlinear change of variables, the problem…
On the real line initially there are infinite number of particles on the positive half-line., each having one of $K$ negative velocities $v_{1}^{(+)},...,v_{K}^{(+)}$. Similarly, there are infinite number of antiparticles on the negative…
Consider an ambient medium and a heterogeneous entity composed of a bidimensional material surrounded by a thin membrane. The electromagnetic constants of these materials are different. By analogy with biological cells, we call this entity…

Analogue systems are a powerful instrument to investigate and understand in a controlled setting many general-relativistic effects. Here, we focus on superradiant-triggered instabilities and quasi-normal modes. We consider a compressible…
