Previous work has established that the localized regime of wave transport in open media is characterized by a position-dependent diffusion coefficient. In this work we study how the concept of position-dependent diffusion affects the delay…
The timescales of many physical, chemical, and biological processes are determined by first passage times (FPTs) of diffusion. The overwhelming majority of FPT research studies the time it takes a single diffusive searcher to find a target.…
Given a Wiener process with unknown and unobservable drift, we try to estimate this drift as effectively but also as quickly as possible, in the presence of a quadratic penalty for the estimation error and of a fixed, positive cost per unit…
From the observation of a diffusion path $(X_t)_{t\in [0,T]}$ on a compact connected $d$-dimensional manifold $\mathcal{M}$ without boundary, we consider the problem of estimating the stationary measure $\mu$ of the process. Wang and Zhu…
We study a random walk infiltration (RWI) model, in homogeneous and in fractal media, with localized sources at their boundaries. The particles released at a source, which is maintained at a constant density, execute unbiased random walks…
We study a symmetric random walk (RW) in one spatial dimension in environment, formed by several zones of finite width, where the probability of transition between two neighboring points and corresponding diffusion coefficient are…
We consider an infinite system of particles in one dimension, each particle performs independant Sinai's random walk in random environment. Considering an instant $t$, large enough, we prove a result in probability showing that the…
The present paper is concerned with some self-interacting diffusions $(X_t,t\geq 0)$ living on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These diffusions are solutions to stochastic differential equations: $$\mathrm{d}X_t = \mathrm{d}B_t - g(t)\nabla V(X_t -…
We find explicit upper bounds for the density of marginals of continuous diffusions where we assume that the diffusion coefficient is constant and the drift is solely assumed to be progressively measurable and locally bounded. In one…
We analyse diffusion at low temperature by bringing the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) to bear on a physically natural, viscous response-function R(t). The resulting diffusion-law exhibits several distinct regimes of time and…
We study a symmetric diffusion $X$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in divergence form in a stationary and ergodic environment, with measurable unbounded and degenerate coefficients. We prove a quenched local central limit theorem for $X$, under some…
We consider the distribution of the duration time, the time elapsed since it began, of a diffusion process given its present position, under the assumption that the process began at the origin. For unbiased diffusion, the distribution does…
Recent studies have shown that in the presence of noise both fronts propagating into a metastable state and so-called pushed fronts propagating into an unstable state, exhibit diffusive wandering about the average position. In this paper we…
We derive the limiting waiting-time distribution $F_W$ of a model described by the Lindley-type equation $W=\max\{0, B - A - W\}$, where $B$ has a polynomial distribution. This exact solution is applied to derive approximations of $F_W$…
We consider a diffusion process under a local weak H\"{o}rmander condition on the coefficients. We find Gaussian estimates for the density in short time and exponential lower and upper bounds for the probability that the diffusion remains…
We study the behavior of a monolayer, which occupies initially a bounded region on an ideal crystalline surface and then evolves in time due to random hopping motion of the monolayer particles. In the case when the initially occupied region…
With the help of the methods developed in our previous article [Schmitz, to appear in "Annales de l'I.H.P. Prob. & Stat.], we highlight condition (T) as a source of new examples of 'ballistic' diffusions in a random environment when d>1…
In this paper we study a storage process or a liquid queue in which the input process is the local time of a positively recurrent stationary diffusion in stationary state and the potential output takes place with a constant deterministic…
In order to approximate the exit time of a one-dimensional diffusion process, we propose an algorithm based on a random walk. Such an algorithm was already introduced in both the Brownian context and in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck context. Here…
We show that, for any spatially discretized system of reaction-diffusion, the approximate solution given by the explicit Euler time-discretization scheme converges to the exact time-continuous solution, provided that diffusion coefficient…
