We determine the large-time behavior of unbounded solutions for the so-called viscous Hamilton Jacobi equation, $u_t - \Delta u + |Du|^m = f(x)$, in the quadratic and subquadratic cases (i.e., for $1<m\leq 2$), with a particular focus on…

Traditional solvable optimal control theory predominantly focuses on quadratic costs due to their analytical tractability, yet they often fail to capture critical non-linearities inherent in real-world systems including water, energy,…

We show that the algorithm to extract diverse M -solutions from a Conditional Random Field (called divMbest [1]) takes exactly the form of a Herding procedure [2], i.e. a deterministic dynamical system that produces a sequence of hypotheses…

We discuss a non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field framework for simulating inhomogeneous Hubbard models with local disorders. Our approach treats electron interactions and disorders on equal footing, by considering only local dynamical…

We explore a mechanism of decision-making in Mean Field Games with myopic players. At each instant, agents set a strategy which optimizes their expected future cost by assuming their environment as immutable. As the system evolves, the…
