We investigate how a catastrophic event (modeled as a temporary fall of the reproduction rate) increases the extinction probability of an isolated self-regulated stochastic population. Using a variant of the Verhulst logistic model as an…

In this paper we explore the life expectancy limits by based on the stochastic modeling of mortality and applying the first exit or hitting time theory of a stochastic process. The main assumption is that the health state or the "vitality",…

Applied to the master equation, the usual numerical integration methods, such as Runge-Kutta, become inefficient when the rates associated with various transitions differ by several orders of magnitude. We introduce an integration scheme…

This paper identifies a new pathology that can be found for numerical simulations of nonlinear conservation law systems. Many of the difficulties already identified in the literature (rarefaction shocks, carbuncle phenomena, slowly moving…

We study general stochastic birth and death processes including delay. We develop several approaches for the analytical treatment of these non-Markovian systems, valid, not only for constant delays, but also for stochastic delays with…

In the analysis of highly-oscillatory evolution problems, it is commonly assumed that a single frequency is present and that it is either constant or, at least, bounded from below by a strictly positive constant uniformly in time. Allowing…

In this paper, we investigate the impact of numerical instability on the reliability of sampling, density evaluation, and evidence lower bound (ELBO) estimation in variational flows. We first empirically demonstrate that common flows can…

A stochastic version of an inviscid dyadic model of turbulence, with multiplicative noise, is proved to exhibit energy dissipation in spite of the formal energy conservation. As a consequence, global regular solutions cannot exist. After…

In this paper, we introduce a general numerical method to approximate the reproduction numbers of a large class of multi-group, age-structured, population models with a finite age span. To provide complete flexibility in the definition of…

Stable numerical simulations for a hyperbolic system of conservation laws of relaxation type but not in divergence form are obtained by incorporating the physical entropy into the simulations. The entropy balance is utilized as an…
