Motivated by a stochastic differential equation describing the dynamics of interfaces, we study the bifurcation behavior of a more general class of such equations. These equations are characterized by a 2-dimensional phase space (describing…

We determine and study the steady state of two independent two-level systems weakly coupled to a stationary non-equilibrium environment. Whereas this bipartite state is necessarily uncorrelated if the splitting energies of the two-level…

When a stable ordered phase and a metastable disordered phase are separated by a flat interface, the metastable state changes to the stable state through the propagation of the interface. For cases in which latent heat is generated, the…

The macroscopic zero-temperature behavior of weakly- incommensurate systems in one dimension is described in terms of solitons. The soliton density n obeys equations displaying several types of singular interface-like solutions: (i)…
This paper describes a technique to determine the linear well-posedness of a general class of vector elliptic problems that include a steady interface, to be determined as part of the problem, that separates two subdomains. The interface…
A theoretical study on low-temperature structural phase transitions is presented, in which both phonon-like and relaxation order-parameter dynamics are contemplated. While the first limiting case has been considered previously, the second…
The low-temperature driven or thermally activated motion of several condensed matter systems is often modeled by the dynamics of interfaces (co-dimension-1 elastic manifolds) subject to a random potential. Two characteristic quantitative…
Individual components such as cells, particles, or agents within a larger system often require detailed understanding of their relative position to act accordingly, enabling the system as a whole to function in an organised and efficient…
In this note, we consider the construction of a one-dimensional stable Langevin type process confined in the upper half-plane and submitted to reflective-diffusive boundary conditions whenever the particle position hits 0. We show that two…
