Real-world decision-making problems often involve decision-dependent uncertainty, where the probability distribution of the random vector depends on the model decisions. Few studies focus on two-stage stochastic programs with this type of…
In inviscid, incompressible flows, the evolution of vorticity is exactly equivalent to that of an infinitesimal material line-element, and hence vorticity can be traced forward or backward in time in a Lagrangian fashion. This elegant and…
Rotational constraint representing a local external bias generally has non-trivial effect on the critical behavior of lattice statistical models in equilibrium critical phenomena. In order to study the effect of rotational bias in a out of…
A model of the passive vector quantity advected by a Gaussian time-decorrelated self-similar velocity field is studied; the effects of pressure and large-scale anisotropy are discussed. The inertial-range behavior of the pair correlation…
A fundamental concept in control theory is that of controllability, where any system state can be reached through an appropriate choice of control inputs. Indeed, a large body of classical and modern approaches are designed for controllable…
Many natural and engineered dynamical systems, including all living objects, exhibit signatures of what can be called spontaneous dynamical long-range order (DLRO). This order's omnipresence has long been recognized by the scientific…
Pattern-forming nonequilibrium systems are ubiquitous in nature, from driven quantum matter and biological life forms to atmospheric and interstellar gases. Identifying universal aspects of their far-from-equilibrium dynamics and statistics…
The stochastic scenario of relaxation in the complex systems is presented. It is based on a general probabilistic formalism of limit theorems. The nonexponential relaxation is shown to result from the asymptotic self-similar properties in…
The statistical properties of a scalar field advected by the non-intermittent Navier-Stokes flow arising from a two-dimensional inverse energy cascade are investigated. The universality properties of the scalar field are directly probed by…
We report the experimental evidence of the existence of a random attractor in a fully developed turbulent swirling flow. By defining a global observable which tracks the asymmetry in the flux of angular momentum imparted to the flow, we can…
We study selection by vanishing viscosity for the transport of a passive scalar $f(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}$ advected by a bounded, divergence-free vector field $u(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}^2$. This is described by the initial value problem to the PDE…
The occurrence of stochastic resonance in bistable systems undergoing anomalous diffusions, which arise from density-dependent fluctuations, is investigated with emphasis on the analytical formulation of the problem as well as a possible…
We study the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations in the context of stochastic finite element discretizations. Specifically, we assume that the viscosity is a random field given in the form of a generalized polynomial chaos expansion. For…
The aim of our work is to provide a simple homogenization and discrete-to-continuum procedure for energy driven problems involving stochastic rapidly-oscillating coefficients. Our intention is to extend the periodic unfolding method to the…
Stochastic hybrid systems are dynamic systems that undergo both random continuous-time flows and random discrete jumps. Depending on how randomness is introduced into the continuous dynamics, discrete transitions, or both, stochastic hybrid…
We introduce the concept of stochastic measure-valued solutions to the complete Euler system describing the motion of a compressible inviscid fluid subject to stochastic forcing, where the nonlinear terms are described by defect measures.…
We derive an analytical solution for the one-point distribution of a passive scalar in decaying homogeneous turbulence, in the limit of strong turbulence (high Re, fixed Schmidt number). Velocity statistics are governed by the Euler…
The renormalization group and operator product expansion are applied to the model of a passive scalar quantity advected by the Gaussian self-similar velocity field with finite, and not small, correlation time. The inertial-range energy…
We consider a stochastic transportation problem between two prescribed probability distributions (a source and a target) over processes with general drift dependence and with free end times. First, and in order to establish a dual…
The talk presented at ICMP 97 focused on the scaling limits of critical percolation models, and some other systems whose salient features can be described by collections of random lines. In the scaling limit we keep track of features seen…
