We are interested in the tail behavior of the pdf of mass density within the one and $d$-dimensional Burgers/adhesion model used, e.g., to model the formation of large-scale structures in the Universe after baryon-photon decoupling. We show…
Kingman's coalescent is a random tree that arises from classical population genetic models such as the Moran model. The individuals alive in these models correspond to the leaves in the tree and the following two laws of large numbers…
We study distributions of dissipative and nondissipative avalanches in Manna's stochastic sandpile, in one and two dimensions. Our results lead to the following conclusions: (1) avalanche distributions, in general, do not follow simple…
The present study addresses the reaction zone structure and burning mechanism of unstable detonations. Experiments investigated mainly two-dimensional methane-oxygen cellular detonations in a thin channel geometry. The sufficiently high…
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…
We consider the one-dimensional generalized forest fire process: at each site of $\zz$, seeds and matches fall according some i.i.d. stationary renewal processes. When a seed falls on an empty site, a tree grows immediately. When a match…
Our recent development of a novel research burner has made it possible to experimentally investigate truly unstretched and planar diffusion flames. Hence it has become feasible to directly validate theoretical models for thermal-diffusive…
We construct a discrete shell-model for two-dimensional turbulence that takes into account local and nonlocal interactions between velocity modes in Fourier space. In real space, its continuous limit is described by the one-dimensional…
We consider a model of a dynamical Lorentz gaz : a single particle is moving in $\mathbb{R}^d$ through an array of fixed an soft scatterers each possessing an internal degree of freedom coupled to the particle. Assuming the initial velocity…
Reaction-diffusion equations describe various spatially extended processes that unfold as traveling fronts moving at constant velocity. We introduce and solve analytically a model that, besides such fronts, supports solutions advancing as…
We derive the asymptotic distribution of the total length $L_n$ of a $\operatorname {Beta}(2-\alpha,\alpha)$-coalescent tree for $1<\alpha<2$, starting from $n$ individuals. There are two regimes: If $\alpha\le1/2(1+\sqrt{5})$, then $L_n$…
Ultra-lean hydrogen-air flames propagating in narrow gaps, under the influence of cold walls and high preferential diffusion, can form two distinct isolated structures. They exhibit either circular or double-cell shapes and propagate at…
We introduce a model designed to describe charged particles as stable topological solitons of a field with values on the internal space S^3. These solitons behave like particles with relativistic properties like Lorentz contraction and…
Solitons in space--time capable of transporting time-like observers at superluminal speeds have long been tied to violations of the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions of general relativity. The negative-energy sources required for…
We study generalizations of the Forest Fire model introduced in [van den Berg, J., and J\'arai, A. A. "On the asymptotic density in a one-dimensional self-organized critical forest-fire model". Comm. Math. Phys. 253 (2005)] and [Volkov,…
We consider a generalization of the forest fire model on $\mathbb{Z}_+$ with ignition at zero only, studied in [arXiv:0907.1821]. Unlike that model, we allow delays in the spread of the fires as well as the non-zero burning time of…
Turbulence is of paramount importance in wildland fire propagation since it randomly transports the hot air mass that can pre-heat and then ignite the area ahead the fire. This contributes to give a random character to the firefront…
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a weakly interacting one-dimensional Bose gas in a box trap, subjected to a drive realized by a periodically oscillating linear potential. After a transient regime, the gas reaches a quasi-steady…
We consider a one-dimensional oscillatory medium with a coupling through a diffusive linear field. In the limit of fast diffusion this setup reduces to the classical Kuramoto-Battogtokh model. We demonstrate that for a finite diffusion…
The problem of flame propagation is studied as an example of unstable fronts that wrinkle on many scales is studied. The analytic tool of pole expansion in the complex plane is emloyed to address the interaction of the unstable growth…
