The goal of this work is to analyze the long-term behavior of reaction-diffusion systems arising in two-species chemical models and to identify the minimal set of modes that determine their dynamics. The models considered include, as…
The evolution of the interface propagation in a slowly rotating half-filled horizontal cylinder is studied using MRI. Initially, the cylinder contains two axially segregated bands of small and large particles with a sharp interface. The…
We study a standard two-parameter family of area-preserving torus diffeomorphisms, known in theoretical physics as the kicked Harper model, by a combination of topological arguments and KAM-theory. We concentrate on the structure of the…
We consider fast oscillating perturbations of dynamical systems in regions where one can introduce action-angle type coordinates. In an appropriate time scale, a diffusion approximation of the first-integrals evolution is described under…
We characterize the shape of spatial externalities in a continuous time and space differential game with transboundary pollution. We posit a realistic spatiotemporal law of motion for pollution (diffusion and advection), and tackle…
We consider internal diffusion limited aggregation in dimension larger than or equal to two. This is a random cluster growth model, where random walks start at the origin of the d-dimensional lattice, one at a time, and stop moving when…
This "Mathematical Entertainments" column from the Intelligencer is an exposition of current investigations, rooted in recent work of Jim Propp, into "quasirandom" analogues of random walk and random aggregation processes. Featured are the…
This work tackles the diffusive limit for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck model. We derive a priori estimates which hold without restriction on the phase-space dimension and propose a strong convergence result in a L2 space. Furthermore,…
We derive an explicit form for the Cucker-Smale (CS) model on the special orthogonal group $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ by identifying closed form expressions for geometric quantities such as covariant derivative and parallel transport in exponential…
We introduce seven families of stochastic systems of interacting particles in one-dimension corresponding to the seven families of irreducible reduced affine root systems. We prove that they are determinantal in the sense that all…
This paper studies Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO), a fundamental framework for enhancing the robustness and generalization of statistical learning and optimization. An effective ambiguity set for DRO must involve distributions…
We study the solutions of Von Neumann's expanding model with reversible processes for an infinite reaction network. We show that, contrary to the irreversible case, the solution space need not be convex in contracting phases (i.e. phases…
We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…
Distributionally robust control is a well-studied framework for optimal decision making under uncertainty, with the objective of minimizing an expected cost function over control actions, assuming the most adverse probability distribution…
We consider a Markov evolution of lozenge tilings of a quarter-plane and study its asymptotics at large times. One of the boundary rays serves as a reflecting wall. We observe frozen and liquid regions, prove convergence of the local…
The main purpose of the present paper is to establish a link between quadrature surfaces (potential theoretic concept) and sandpile dynamics (Laplacian growth models). For this aim, we introduce a new model of Laplacian growth on the…
A simple discrete planar dynamical model for the ideal (logical) R-S flip-flop circuit is developed with an eye toward mimicking the dynamical behavior observed for actual physical realizations of this circuit. It is shown that the model…
In this paper we consider a representative a priori unstable Hamiltonian system with 2+1/2 degrees of freedom, to which we apply the geometric mechanism for diffusion introduced in the paper Delshams et al., Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 2006, and…
Evolutionary game theory combines game theory and dynamical systems and is customarily adopted to describe evolutionary dynamics in multi-agent systems. In particular, it has been proven to be a successful tool to describe multi-agent…
We present three explicit curious simple examples in the theory of dynamical systems. The first one is an example of two analytic diffeomorphisms $R$, $S$ of a closed two-dimensional annulus that possess the intersection property but their…
