Flow and Diffusion Distributed Structures (FDS) are stationary spatially periodic patterns that can be observed in reaction-diffusion-advection systems. These structures arise when the flow rate exceeds a certain bifurcation point provided…

We consider an SDE in R^m of the type dX(t)=a(X(t))dt+dU(t) with a L\'evy process U and study the problem for the distribution of a solution to be regular in various senses. We do not impose any specific conditions on the L\'evy measure of…

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become an effective way to improve prompt alignment and perceptual quality in diffusion and flow-matching generators. A critical step for applying online RL to flow matching is turning the deterministic…

Normalizing flows and variational autoencoders are powerful generative models that can represent complicated density functions. However, they both impose constraints on the models: Normalizing flows use bijective transformations to model…
