Highly concentrated patterns have been observed in a spatially heterogeneous, nonlocal, model of BGK type implementing a velocity-jump process. We study both a linear and a nonlinear case and describe the concentration profile. In…
This work focuses on stability of regime-switching diffusions consisting of continuous and discrete components, in which the discrete component switches in a countably infinite set and its switching rates at current time depend on the…
We derive the hydrodynamic limit of a kinetic equation where the interactions in velocity are modelled by a linear operator (Fokker-Planck or Linear Boltzmann) and the force in the Vlasov term is a stochastic process with high amplitude and…
A particle with internal unobserved states diffusing in a force field will generally display effective advection-diffusion. The drift velocity is proportional to the mobility averaged over the internal states, or effective mobility, while…
We consider potential type dynamical systems in finite dimensions with two meta-stable states. They are subject to two sources of perturbation: a slow external periodic perturbation of period $T$ and a small Gaussian random perturbation of…
