We study the recurrence behaviour of random walks on partially oriented honeycomb lattices. The vertical edges are undirected while the orientation of the horizontal edges is random: depending on their distribution, we prove a.s. transience…
New aspects of a relation between lattice and dislocation structures are examined within a physically transparent theoretical scheme. Predicted features originating from the lattice discreteness include: (i) multiple core dislocation…
In this work, we present concepts for the analysis of the evolution of two-dimensional skeletons. By introducing novel persistence concepts, we are able to reduce typical temporal incoherence, and provide insight in skeleton dynamics. We…
We study a model of a spatial evolutionary game, based on the Prisoner's dilemma for two regular arrangements of players, on a square lattice and on a triangular lattice. We analyze steady state distributions of players which evolve from…
We explore how the superconductivity arising from the on-site electron-electron repulsion will change when the repulsion is changed to a long-ranged, 1/r-like one by introducing an extended Hubbard model with the repulsion extending to…
We propose a new probabilistic ant-based heuristic (ANTH-LS) for the longest simple cycle problem. This NP-hard problem has numerous real-world applications in complex networks, including efficient construction of graph layouts, analysis of…
We study the frog model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with drift in dimension $d \geq 2$ and establish the existence of transient and recurrent regimes depending on the transition probabilities. We focus on a model in which the particles perform…
Parton evolution with the rapidity essentially is a branching diffusion process. We describe the fluctuations of the density of partons which affect the properties of QCD scattering amplitudes at moderately high energies. We arrive at…
Several results in previous works, strongly depend on the exponential tail of the linkages' distribution in our adhesive models. The purpose of this paper is to weaken this hypothesis and to allow more fat tails for large ages. From the…
We study the geometry and dynamics of both isolated and dynamical trapping horizons by considering the allowed variations of their foliating two-surfaces. This provides a common framework that may be used to consider both their possible…
We review the observational evidence showing that luminous cluster elliptical galaxies are old stellar systems, undergoing mostly passive stellar evolution up to redshift $z\approx 1$, with approximate coeval epoch of formation. This…
I describe two difficulties with current research into the cosmic evolution of BL Lacertae Objects: (1). Possible sample incompleteness due to unrecognized (i.e., ``hidden'') BL Lacs; and (2). The absence of a viable physical model of the…
Stochastic modeling of movement behavior provides a valuable way to understand how complex motion can be generated from relatively simple building blocks. Ants demonstrate sophisticated social behavior ranging from foraging to nest…
We study active surface wetting using a minimal model of bacteria that takes into account the intrinsic motility diversity of living matter. A mixture of "fast" and "slow" self-propelled Brownian particles is considered in the presence of a…
I present the theoretical basis for Leptogenesis and its implications for the structure of the universe. It is suggested that density fluctuations grow during the transition period and remnants of this effect should be sought in the…
With the increasing demand and complexity of networks, factors such as balancing the load, improving the performance, reducing delay and finding optimal path between nodes in a computer network have become crucial. The traditional routing…
While extensive guidance exists for ensuring the reproducibility of one's own study, there is little discussion regarding the reproduction and replication of external studies within one's own research. To initiate this discussion, drawing…
Evolution of a universe with homogeneous extra dimensions is studied with the benefit of a well-chosen parameter space that provides a systematic, useful, and convenient way for analysis. In this model we find a natural evolution pattern…
The evolution of a two-dimensional driven lattice-gas model is studied on an L_x X L_y lattice. Scaling arguments and extensive numerical simulations are used to show that starting from random initial configuration the model evolves via two…
In models for the evolution of predation from initially purely competitive species interactions, the propensity of predation is most often assumed to be a direct consequence of the relative morphological and physiological traits of…
