We show that the intermittent and self-similar fluctuations displayed by a slow crack during the propagation in a heterogeneous medium can be quantitatively described by an extension of a classical statistical model for fracture. The model…

We consider a diffusion equation in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with drift equal to the gradient of a homogeneous potential of degree $1+\gamma$, with $0<\gamma<1$, and local variance equal to $\varepsilon^2$ with $\varepsilon\to 0$. The associated…

The problem of diffusion in a time-dependent (and generally inhomogeneous) external field is considered on the basis of a generalized master equation with two times, introduced in [1,2]. We consider the case of the quasi Fokker-Planck…

Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are a fundamental tool for modelling dynamic processes, including gene regulatory networks (GRNs), contaminant transport, financial markets, and image generation. However, learning the underlying SDE…

We investigate the relation between two-time, multi-spin, correlation and response functions in the non-equilibrium critical dynamics of Ising models in d=1 and d=2 spatial dimensions. In these non-equilibrium situations, the…

The fractional Fokker-Planck equation, which contains a variable diffusion coefficient, is discussed and solved. It corresponds to the L\'evy flights in a nonhomogeneous medium. For the case with the linear drift, the solution is stationary…

Suppose $\{X_{t}:t\ge 0\}$ is a supercritical superprocess on a Luzin space $E$, with a non-local branching mechanism and probabilities $\mathbb{P}_{\delta_{x}}$, when initiated from a unit mass at $x\in E$. By ``supercritical", we mean…
