To make decisions organisms often accumulate information across multiple timescales. However, most experimental and modeling studies of decision-making focus on sequences of independent trials. On the other hand, natural environments are…
We consider the reaction diffusion problem and present efficient ways to discretize and precondition in the singular perturbed case when the reaction term dominates the equation. Using the concepts of optimal test norm and saddle point…

We study the reaction-fractional-diffusion equation $u_t+(-\Delta)^{s} u=f(u)$ with ignition and monostable reactions $f$, and $s\in(0,1)$. We obtain the first optimal bounds on the propagation of front-like solutions in the cases where no…

A general stochastic maximum principle is proved for optimal controls of semilinear stochastic evolution equations. Stochastic evolution operators, and the control with values in a general set enter into both drift and diffusion terms.
