Stochastic mathematical models are essential tools for understanding and predicting complex phenomena. The purpose of this work is to study the exit times of a stochastic dynamical system-specifically, the mean exit time and the…
Calculating the mean exit time (MET) for models of diffusion is a classical problem in statistical physics, with various applications in biophysics, economics and heat and mass transfer. While many exact results for MET are known for…
The smallest classically stable Q-balls are, in fact, generically metastable: in quantum theory they decay into free particles via collective tunneling. We derive general semiclassical method to calculate the rate of this process in the…
This article relaxes the integrability condition imposed in the literature for the robust $\alpha$-stable central limit theorem under sublinear expectation. Specifically, for $\alpha \in(0,1]$, we prove that the normalized sums of i.i.d.…
Self-stabilization ensures that, after any transient fault, the system recovers in a finite time and eventually exhibits. Speculation consists in guaranteeing that the system satisfies its requirements for any execution but exhibits…
We consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation with standard double-well potential. We employ a prototypical class of first order in time semi-implicit methods with implicit treatment of the linear dissipation term and explicit extrapolation of the…
Effects of non-Gaussian $\alpha-$stable L\'evy noise on the Gompertz tumor growth model are quantified by considering the mean exit time and escape probability of the cancer cell density from inside a safe or benign domain. The mean exit…
We revise the classical problem of characterizing first exit times of a harmonically trapped particle whose motion is described by one- or multi-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We start by recalling the main derivation steps of a…
We construct a random partition of the space-time plane $\mathbb{R}_+\times \mathbb{R}$ using two coupled stochastic squared Bessel flows, whose parameters differ by $\delta\in (0,2)$. We show that the cells of this partition correspond to…
The main result in this paper is a variational formula for the exit rate from a bounded domain for a diffusion process in terms of the stationary law of the diffusion constrained to remain in this domain forever. Related results on the…
This paper is concerned with the small time behaviour of a L\'{e}vy process $X$. In particular, we investigate the {\it stabilities} of the times, $\Tstarb(r)$ and $\Tbarb(r)$, at which $X$, started with $X_0=0$, first leaves the space-time…
We analyze the generalized symmetric exclusion process, which allows at most $\alpha$ particles per site, and we put it in contact with stochastic reservoirs whose strength is regulated by a parameter $\theta\in\mathbb R$. We prove that the…
The Meantime to Failure is a statistic used to determine how much time a system spends to enter one of its absorption states. This statistic can be used in most areas of knowledge. In engineering, for example, can be used as a measure of…
We compute the mean square displacement (MSD) of intruders immersed in a freely cooling granular gas made up of smooth inelastic hard spheres. In general, intruders and particles of the granular gas are assumed to have different mechanical…
The $d$-dimensional Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process (OUP) describes the trajectory of a particle in a $d$-dimensional, spherically symmetric, quadratic potential. The OUP is composed of a drift term weighted by a constant $\theta \geq 0$ and a…
The study of discrete-time stochastic processes on the half-line with mean drift at $x$ given by $\mu_1 (x) \to 0$ as $x \to \infty$ is known as Lamperti's problem. We give sharp almost-sure bounds for processes of this type in the case…
We consider a positive recurrent one-dimensional diffusion process with continuous coefficients and we establish stable central limit theorems for a certain type of additive functionals of this diffusion. In other words we find some…

In this paper, we consider semi-Markov processes whose transition times and transition probabilities depend on a small parameter $\varepsilon$. Understanding the asymptotic behavior of such processes is needed in order to study the…
We consider the nonlinear wave equation, with a large exponent, power-like non-linearity, outside a ball of the Euclidean 3-dimensional space. In a previous article, we have proved that any global solution converges, up to a radiation term,…
