We consider a bushfire model in a gully. The biological scenario under consideration involves flammable fuel (trees, leaves, etc.) concentrated within the gully, surrounded by rocky hillslopes containing little or no burnable material. The…
We continue the study initiated by Jean Bertoin in 2012 of a random dynamics on the edges of a uniform Cayley tree with $n$ vertices in which, successively, each edge is either set on fire with some fixed probability $p_n$ or fireproof with…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a Galton-Watson tree with a given offspring distribution $\xi$, where $\xi$ is a $Z_{\geq 0}$-valued random variable with $E[\xi] = 1$ and $0 < \sigma^{2}:=Var[\xi] < \infty$. For $n \geq 1$, let $T_{n}$ be the tree…
The simplest Lorentz-nonreciprocal medium has the constitutive relations (${\bf D} =\epso {\bf E} -{\bf \Gamma}\times {\bf H}$ and ${\bf B} =\muo {\bf H} + {\bf \Gamma}\times{\bf E}$). Scattering by a three-dimensional object composed of…
We describe a representation of the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent in terms of the cutting of random recursive trees. Using this representation, we prove results concerning the final collision of the coalescent restricted to [n]: we show…
We study the lattice N=1 Wess-Zumino model in two dimensions and we construct a sequence $\rho^{(L)}$ of exact lower bounds on its ground state energy density $\rho$, converging to $\rho$ in the limit $L\to\infty$. The bounds $\rho^{(L)}$…
We study (unrooted) random forests on a graph where the probability of a forest is multiplicatively weighted by a parameter $\beta>0$ per edge. This is called the arboreal gas model, and the special case when $\beta=1$ is the uniform forest…
We study random two-component spanning forests ($2$SFs) of finite graphs, giving formulas for the first and second moments of the sizes of the components, vertex-inclusion probabilities for one or two vertices, and the probability that an…
The burning number is a recently introduced graph parameter indicating the spreading speed of content in a graph through its edges. While the conjectured upper bound on the necessary numbers of time steps until all vertices are reached is…
The energy extinction cross section of a concentrically layered sphere varies with velocity as the Doppler shift moves the spectral content of the incident signal in the sphere's co-moving inertial reference frame toward or away from…
Tree-grass coexistence in savanna ecosystems depends strongly on environmental disturbances out of which crucial is fire. Most modeling attempts in the literature lack stochastic approach to fire occurrences which is essential to reflect…
The six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions (DWBC) on an N x N square lattice is considered. The two-point correlation function describing the probability of having two vertices in a given state at opposite (top and bottom)…
Since Self-Organised Criticality (SOC) was introduced in the 1987 both the nature of the self-organisation and of the criticality remains controversial. Recent observations on rain precipitation and on brain activity suggest that real…
Forest-savanna bistability - the hypothesis that forests and savannas exist as alternative stable states in the tropics - and its implications are key challenges for mathematical modelers and ecologists in the context of ongoing climate…
This paper investigates the steady axisymmetric structure of the cold boundary-layer flow surrounding fire whirls developing over localized fuel sources lying on a horizontal surface. The inviscid swirling motion found outside the boundary…
We consider invasion percolation on the randomly-weighted complete graph $K_n$, started from some number $k(n)$ of distinct source vertices. The outcome of the process is a forest consisting of $k(n)$ trees, each containing exactly one…
The finite time blow-up of solutions for 1-D NLS with oscillating nonlinearities is shown in two domains: (1) the whole real line where the nonlinear source is acting in the interior of the domain and (2) the right half-line where the…
We investigate a stochastic process consisting of a two-dimensional particle with anisotropic diffusion, mortality rate and a drift velocity, in the presence of an absorbing boundary. After the particle has encountered the boundary, the…
The two-dimensional Ising model is studied at the boundary of a half-infinite cylinder. The three regular lattices (square, triangular and hexagonal) and the three regimes (sub-, super- and critical) are discussed. The probability of having…
In this paper we concentrate on the analysis of the critical mass blowing-up solutions for the cubic focusing Schr\"odinger equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, posed on a plane domain. We bound the blow-up rate from below, for…
