Probability Distributions Functions (PDFs) of fluctuations of plasma edge parameters are skewed curves fairly different from normal distributions, whose shape appears almost independent of the plasma conditions and devices. We start from a…
Perturbing the arrangements of pegs on a static Galton board can result in non-trivial stationary distributions, which in the continuum limit correspond to departure from regular gaussian behavior. Two such distributions are obtained.…

We present sharp tail asymptotics for the density and the distribution function of linear combinations of correlated log-normal random variables, that is, exponentials of components of a correlated Gaussian vector. The asymptotic behavior…
We consider asymptotics of the velocity derivatives probability distribution functions (PDFs) in Burgers' turbulence. We argue that in the forced case the same power laws as in the decaying case are realized for an infinite system.

Non-Gaussian shapes, despite a linear form of the mean-squared displacement, have been observed for the displacement distribution in a large range of diffusive systems. Stochastic models for such "Brownian yet non-Gaussian" diffusion will…

Power-law tails are often seen in probability density functions (PDFs) of molecular cloud column densities, and have been attributed to the effect of gravity. We show that extinction PDFs of a sample of five molecular clouds obtained at a…
