We study population dynamics through a general growth/degrowth-fragmentation process, with resource consumption and unbounded growth/degrowth, birth and death rates. Our model is structured in a positive trait called energy (which is a…
Bacterial growth models are commonly used for the prediction of microbial safety and the shelf life of perishable foods. Growth is affected by several environmental factors such as temperature, acidity level and salt concentration. In this…
Functional dependencies restrict the potential interactions among variables connected in a probabilistic network. This restriction can be exploited in qualitative probabilistic reasoning by introducing deterministic variables and modifying…
The controlled branching process is a generalization of the classical Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson branching process. It is a useful model for describing the evolution of populations in which the population size at each generation needs to be…

In this paper we define contractive and nonexpansive properties for adapted stochastic processes $X_1, X_2, \ldots $ which can be used to deduce limiting properties. In general, nonexpansive processes possess finite limits while contractive…
We define a measure for the complexity of Boolean functions related to their implementation in neural networks, and in particular close related to the generalization ability that could be obtained through the learning process. The measure…
A number of algorithms have been developed to solve probabilistic inference problems on belief networks. These algorithms can be divided into two main groups: exact techniques which exploit the conditional independence revealed when the…
We obtain Wiman-Valiron type inequalities for random entire functions and for random analytic functions on the unit disk that improve a classical result of Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi and recent results of Kuryliak and Skaskiv. Our results are…
A turbulent mean profile for pipe flow is prescribed which closely matches experimental observations. The nature of perturbations superimposed upon this profile is then considered. Optimal growth calculations predict two distinct classes of…
In this paper we consider a variant of the well-known Achlioptas process for graphs adapted to monotone Boolean functions. Fix a number of choices $r\in \mathbb N$ and a sequence of increasing functions $(f_n)_{n\ge 1}$ such that, for every…

Random Boolean networks were introduced in 1969 by Kauffman as a model for gene regulation. By combining analytical arguments and efficient numerical simulations, we evaluate the properties of relevant components of critical random Boolean…

We provide a framework for modeling social network formation through conditional multinomial logit models from discrete choice and random utility theory, in which each new edge is viewed as a "choice" made by a node to connect to another…
We study the random connection model driven by a stationary Poisson process. In the first part of the paper, we derive a lace expansion with remainder term in the continuum and bound the coefficients using a new version of the BK…
Boolean networks are used to model biological networks such as gene regulatory networks. Often Boolean networks show very chaotic behaviour which is sensitive to any small perturbations. In order to reduce the chaotic behaviour and to…
We consider a model of a random media with fixed and finite memory time with abrupt losses of memory (renovation model). Within the memory intervals we can observe either amplification or oscillation of the vector field in a given particle.…
