We review the application of field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods to the study of fluctuations in reaction-diffusion problems. We first investigate the physical origin of universality in these systems, before comparing RG…
We examine the focusing of kinetic energy and the amplification of various quantities during the snapping motion of the free end of a flexible structure. This brief but violent event appears to be a regularized finite-time singularity, with…
We consider the Helmholtz equation in an angular sector partially covered by a homogeneous layer of small thickness, denoted $\varepsilon$. We propose in this work an asymptotic expansion of the solution with respect to $\varepsilon$ at any…
We show how the interplay of non-linear dynamics, self-gravity, and fluctuations leads to self-affine behavior of matter density correlations quite generically, i.e., with a power-law exponent whose value does not depend in a very direct…
We develop a method for treating a series of secularly growing terms obtained from quantum perturbative calculations: autonomous first-order differential equations are constructed such that they reproduce this series to the given order. The…
