An algorithm for planning near time-optimal trajectories for systems with an oscillatory internal dynamics has been developed in previous work. It is based on assembling a complete trajectory from motion primitives called jerk segments,…
Many monostable reaction-diffusion equations admit one-dimensional travelling waves if and only if the wave speed is sufficiently high. The values of these minimum wave speeds are not known exactly, except in a few simple cases. We present…
We prove that for a sequence of nested sets $\{U_n\}$ with $\Lambda = \cap_n U_n$ a measure zero set, the localized escape rate converges to the extremal index of $\Lambda$, provided that the dynamical system is $\phi$-mixing at polynomial…
Optimal transportation distances are valuable for comparing and analyzing probability distributions, but larger-scale computational techniques for the theoretically favorable quadratic case are limited to smooth domains or regularized…
We give a brief summary of present bounds on the size of possible extra-dimensions from collider experiments.
Motivated by a novel method for granular segregation, we analyze the one dimensional drift-diffusion between two absorbing boundaries. The time evolution of the probability distribution and the rate of absorption are given by explicit…
This paper considers the evolution dynamics of the free boundaries in terms of the change of $m$, the allowed amount of transported mass or the change of $\lambda$, the transportation cost cap, i.e. the allowed maximum cost for a unit mass…
The aim of this short note is to extend the recent variational proof of partial regularity for optimal transport maps to the case of continuous densities.
We derive rigorously the short-time escape probability of a quantum particle from its compactly supported initial state, which has a discontinuous derivative at the boundary of the support. We show that this probability is liner in time,…
Simple models for unitary black hole evolution are given in an effective Hilbert-space description, parameterizing a possible minimal relaxation of locality, with respect to semiclassical black hole geometry.
We prove the dynamical large deviations for a particle system in which particles may have different velocities. We assume that we have two infinite reservoirs of particles at the boundary: this is the so-called boundary driven process. The…
An approximate method for studying activation over a fluctuating barrier of potential is proposed. It involves considering separately the slow and fast components of barrier fluctuations, and it applies for any value of their correlation…
On the set of dissipative solutions to the multi-dimensional isentropic Euler equations we introduce a quasi-order by comparing the acceleration at all times. This quasi-order is continuous with respect to a suitable notion of convergence…
We survey some of our recent results on inverse problems for evolution equations. The goal is to provide a unified approach to solve various types of evolution equations. The inverse problems we consider consist in determining unknown…
We prove gradient estimates for solutions of the oblique derivative problem for a large class of elliptic and parabolic quasilinear PDEs. In particular, we expand on previous work of the author using a maximum principle argument. In…

We study the error in approximating the minimum of a Brownian motion on the unit interval based on finitely many point evaluations. We construct an algorithm that adaptively chooses the points at which to evaluate the Brownian path. In…

Drift analysis aims at translating the expected progress of an evolutionary algorithm (or more generally, a random process) into a probabilistic guarantee on its run time (hitting time). So far, drift arguments have been successfully…
