We consider the problem of filtering dynamical systems, possibly stochastic, using observations of statistics. Thus, the computational task is to estimate a time-evolving density $\rho(v, t)$ given noisy observations of the true density…

We investigate the dynamics of two interacting diffusing particles in an infinite effectively one dimensional system; the particles interact through a step-like potential of width b and height phi_0 and are allowed to pass one another. By…
