The balance held by Brownian motion between temporal regularity and randomness is embodied in a remarkable way by Levy's forgery of continuous functions. Here we describe how this property can be extended to forge arbitrary dependences…

This paper studies stabilities of stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by time-changed L\'evy noise in both probability and moment sense. This provides more flexibility in modeling schemes in application areas including physics,…

We construct the analogue of the local time -- at a fixed point $x$ -- for Markov processes indexed by Levy trees. We start by proving that Markov processes indexed by Levy trees satisfy a special Markov property which can be thought as a…

Limbless organisms such as snakes can navigate nearly all terrain. In particular, desert-dwelling sidewinder rattlesnakes (Crotalus cerastes) operate effectively on inclined granular media (such as sand dunes) that induce failure in…

We prove a metric space scaling limit for a critical random graph with independent and identically distributed degrees having power-law tail behaviour with exponent $\alpha+1$, where $\alpha \in (1,2)$. The limiting components are…

We exploit the multiplicative structure of P\'olya Tree priors to establish novel consistency results on $p$-dimensional trees, conditions to obtain Kullback-Leibler minimax contraction rates for univariate density estimation and a…

The $\gamma$-stable trees are random measured compact metric spaces that appear as the scaling limit of Galton-Watson trees whose offspring distribution lies in a $\gamma$-stable domain, $\gamma \in (1, 2]$. They form a specific class of…

Chen and Ye recently proved that the analytic rank of tensors is stable under field extensions, assuming a fixed base field. Using a more careful analysis, we show that this assumption is unnecessary.

The L\'evy flight foraging hypothesis states that organisms must have evolved adaptations to exploit L\'evy walk search strategies. Indeed, it is widely accepted that inverse square L\'evy walks optimize the search efficiency in foraging…

Some asymptotic properties of a Brownian motion in multifractal time, also called multifractal random walk, are established. We show the almost sure and $L^1$ convergence of its structure function. This is an issue directly connected to the…

We present a study of time-independent solutions of the two-dimensional discrete Allen-Cahn equation with cubic and quintic nonlinearity. Three different types of lattices are considered, i.e., square, honeycomb, and triangular lattices.…

We present the calculation of the spectral function of an unstable scalar boson coupled to fermions as resulting from the resummation of the one loop diagrams in the scalar particle self energy. We work with a large but finite high-energy…

We refute here the concernes raised in the Comment of our letter. This reply states clearly the validity range of our results and shows that the optimality of inverse-square Levy walks at the basis of the Levy flight foraging hypothesis is…

We obtain series expansions of the $q$-scale functions of arbitrary spectrally negative L\'evy processes, including processes with infinite jump activity, and use these to derive various new examples of explicit $q$-scale functions.…

The recurrence features of persistent random walks built from variable length Markov chains are investigated. We observe that these stochastic processes can be seen as L{\'e}vy walks for which the persistence times depend on some internal…
