In this article we study algorithmic synthesis of the class of stabilizing switching signals for discrete-time switched linear systems proposed in [12]. A weighted digraph is associated in a natural way to a switched system, and the…
The Abelian sandpile model was the first example of a self-organized critical system studied by Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld. The dynamics of the sandpiles occur when the grains topple over a graph. In this study, we allow the graph to evolve…
A two-type version of the frog model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is formulated, where active type $i$ particles move according to lazy random walks with probability $p_i$ of jumping in each time step ($i=1,2$). Each site is independently assigned a…
The frog model is an interacting particle system on a graph. Active particles perform independent simple random walks, while sleeping particles remain inert until visited by an active particle. Some number of sleeping particles are placed…
We study, from first principles, the pressure exerted by an active fluid of spherical particles on general boundaries in two dimensions. We show that, despite the non-uniform pressure along curved walls, an equation of state is recovered…
We consider a model of the classical spinning particle in which the coadjoint orbits of the Poincare group are parametrized by two pairs of canonically conjugate four vectors, one representing the standard position and momentum variables…
The two dimensional directed sandpile with dissipation is transformed into a (1+1) dimensional problem with discrete space and continuous `time'. The master equation for the conditional probability that K grains preserve their initial order…
We propose a feedback scheme to control the vibrational motion of a single trapped particle based on indirect measurements of its position. It results the possibility of a motional phase space uncertainty contraction, correponding to cool…
We study a model of aggregation and fragmentation of clusters of particles on an open segment of a single-lane road. The particles and clusters obey the stochastic discrete-time discrete-space kinetics of the Totally Asymmetric Simple…
We introduce a new model of a stochastic sandpile on a graph $G$ containing a sink. When unstable, a site sends one grain to each of its neighbours independently with probability $p \in (0,1]$. For $p=1$, this coincides with the standard…
We study collections of point masses which move freely along the real line and stick together when they collide via perfectly inelastic collisions. We quantify the way particles stick together and explain how to associate a probability…
A class of graphs is called block-stable when a graph is in the class if and only if each of its blocks is. We show that, as for trees, for most $n$-vertex graphs in such a class, each vertex is in at most $(1+o(1)) \log n / \log\log n$…
We investigate the entanglement within a system undergoing a random, local process. We find that there is initially a phase of very fast generation and spread of entanglement. At the end of this phase the entanglement is typically maximal.…
In this paper, we construct under general assumptions the stochastic dynamics of an interacting particle system in a bounded domain $\Omega$ with sticky boundary. Under appropriate conditions on the interaction the constructed process…
Experimental observation of a new mechanism of sandpile formation is reported. As a steady stream of dry sand is poured onto a horizontal surface, a pile forms which has a thin river of sand on one side flowing from the apex of the pile to…
We study a stochastic $N$-particle system representing economic agents in a population randomly exchanging their money, which is associated to a class of one-dimensional kinetic equations modelling the evolution of the distribution of…
We study the dynamics of an inertial active Ornstein-Uhnlenbeck particle self-propelling in a confined harmonic well. The transport behaviour of the particle is investigated by analyzing the particle trajectories, steady state correlations,…
We study a system of $N$ noninteracting particles on a line in the presence of a harmonic trap $U(x)=\mu \bigl[x-z(t)\bigr]^2/2$, where the trap center $z(t)$ undergoes a bounded stochastic modulation. We show that this stochastic…
