The spin relaxation time in solids is determined by several competing energy scales and processes and distinct methods are called for to analyze the various regimes. We present a stochastic model for the spin dynamics in solids which is…
The method of exhaustion is generalized to a simple formula that can be used to integrate functions under very general conditions, provided that the integral exists. Both a geometric proof (following the usual procedure for the method of…

Riccati differential equations is the class of first-order and quadratic ordinary differential equations and has various applications in the systems and control theory. In this paper, we analyze a switched Riccati differential equation that…

We derive an explicit representation for the transition law of a $p$-tempered $\alpha$-stable process of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-type and use it to develop a methodology for simulation. Our results apply in both the univariate and multivariate…

In this paper, we continue our understanding of the stable process from the perspective of the theory of self-similar Markov processes in the spirit of the recent papers of Kyprianou (2016) and Kyprianou et al. (2017). In particular, we…

The input/output stability of an interconnected system composed of an ordinary differential equation and a damped string equation is studied. Issued from the literature on time-delay systems, an exact stability result is firstly derived…
For any given vertices $u$ and $v$ in a graph, the hitting time of a random walk on a finite graph is the number of steps it takes for a random walk to reach vertex $v$ starting at vertex $u$. The expected value of the hitting time is the…
We formulate and prove a new criterion for stability of e-processes. It says that any e-process which is averagely bounded and concentrating is asymptotically stable. In the second part, we show how this general result applies to some shell…
We address the question of the time needed by $N$ particles, initially located on the first sites of a finite 1D lattice of size $L$, to exit that lattice when they move according to a TASEP transport model. Using analytical calculations…
The semiclassical Euclidean path integral method is applied to compute the low temperature quantum decay rate for a particle placed in the metastable minimum of a cubic potential in a {\it finite} time theory. The classical path, which…
Reversible Probabilistic Cellular Automata are a special class of automata whose stationary behavior is described by Gibbs-like measures. For those models the dynamics can be trapped for a very long time in states which are very different…
We analyze the mean time t_{app} that a randomly moving particle spends in a bounded domain (sphere) before it escapes through a small window in the domain's boundary. A particle is assumed to diffuse freely in the bulk until it approaches…

Conditioning Markov processes to avoid a domain is a classical problem that has been studied in many settings. Ingredients for standard arguments involve the leading order tail asymptotics of the distribution of the first hitting time of…
