We develop an effective theory of pulse propagation in a nonlinear {\it and} disordered medium. The theory is formulated in terms of a nonlinear diffusion equation. Despite its apparent simplicity this equation describes novel phenomena…
We study the long-time asymptotics of prototypical non-linear diffusion equations. Specifically, we consider the case of a non-degenerate diffusivity function that is a (non-negative) polynomial of the dependent variable of the problem. We…
The global existence of bounded solutions to reaction-diffusion systems with fractional diffusion in the whole space $\mathbb R^N$ is investigated. The systems are assumed to preserve the non-negativity of initial data and to dissipate…

The role of external forces in systems exhibiting anomalous diffusion is discussed on the basis of the describing Langevin equations. Since there exist different possibilities to include the effect of an external field the concept of {\it…
In the present paper we apply the geometrical mechanism of diffusion in an \emph{a priori} unstable Hamiltonian system with 3 $+$ 1/2 degrees of freedom. This mechanism consists of combining iterations of the \emph{inner} and \emph{outer}…

In this paper we develop an existence theory for the nonlinear initial-boundary value problem with singular diffusion $\partial_t u = \text{div}(k(x)\nabla G(u))$, $u|_{t=0}=u_0$ with Neumann boundary conditions $k(x)\nabla G(u)\cdot \nu =…
Diffusion models are one of the most important families of deep generative models. In this note, we derive a quantitative upper bound on the Wasserstein distance between the data-generating distribution and the distribution learned by a…
The self-consistent theory of localization is generalized to account for a weak quadratic nonlinear potential in the wave equation. For spreading wave packets, the theory predicts the destruction of Anderson localization by the nonlinearity…
We consider the dynamics of the disordered trap model, which is known to be completely out-of-equilibrium and to present strong localization effects in its aging phase. We are interested into the influence of an external force, when it is…
We consider a prototypical nonlinear parabolic equation whose flux has three distinguished features: it is nonlinear with respect to both the unknown and its gradient, it is homogeneous, and it depends only on the direction of the gradient.…
This paper deals with the large time dynamics of bounded solutions of reaction-diffusion equations with unbounded initial support in $\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove a variational formula for the spreading speeds in any direction, and we also…
I examine some analytical properties of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system that has been used to model the propagation of a wildfire. I establish global-in-time existence and uniqueness of bounded mild solutions to the Cauchy problem for…
Standard diffusion equation is based on Brownian motion of the dispersing species without considering persistence in the movement of the individuals. This description allows for the instantaneous spreading of the transported species over an…
This paper establishes a quantitative, uniform-in-time diffusion approximation for the joint law of a broad class of fully coupled multiscale stochastic systems. We derive a precise characterization of the limiting joint distribution as a…
We construct a planar diffusion process whose infinitesimal generator depends only on the order of the components of the process. Speaking informally and a bit imprecisely for the moment, imagine you run two Brownian-like particles on the…
In this paper we look at the properties of limits of a sequence of real valued time inhomogeneous diffusions. When convergence is only in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions then the limit does not have to be a diffusion. However,…
