We propose an interacting particle system to model the evolution of a system of banks with mutual exposures. In this model, a bank defaults when its normalized asset value hits a lower threshold, and its default causes instantaneous losses…
We give bounds on the rate of convergence to equilibrium of the symmetric simple exclusion process in $\Z^d$. Our results include the existent results in the literature. We get better bounds and larger class of initial states via a unified…
We consider a stochastic particle system in which a finite number of particles interact with one another via a common energy tank. Interaction rate for each particle is proportional to the square root of its kinetic energy, as is consistent…
We consider diffusion-limited annihilating systems with mobile $A$-particles and stationary $B$-particles placed throughout a graph. Mutual annihilation occurs whenever an $A$-particle meets a $B$-particle. Such systems, when ran in…
Some deterministic cellular automata have been observed to follow the pattern of the second law of thermodynamics: starting from a partially disordered state, the system evolves towards a state of equilibrium characterized by maximal…
In recent years statistical physicists have developed {\it discrete} "particle-hopping" models of vehicular traffic, usually formulated in terms of {\it cellular automata}, which are similar to the microscopic models of interacting charged…
Spatially extended chaotic systems with power-law decaying interactions are considered. Two coupled replicas of such systems synchronize to a common spatio-temporal chaotic state above a certain coupling strength. The synchronization…
We consider the evolution of two contact-interacting harmonically-trapped particles following an arbitrary quench in interaction strength. We calculate the post-quench particle separation as a function of time and the total post-quench…
We consider hydrodynamic limits of interacting particles systems with open boundaries, where the exterior parameters change in a time scale slower than the typical relaxation time scale. The limit deterministic profiles evolve…
In this paper we consider the stochastic dynamics of a finite system of particles in a finite volume (Kac-like particle system) which annihilate with probability $\alpha \in (0,1)$ or collide elastically with probability $1-\alpha$. We…
Exponential relaxation to equilibrium is a typical property of physical systems, but inhomogeneities are known to distort the exponential relaxation curve, leading to a wide variety of relaxation patterns. Power law relaxation is related to…
We consider continuous-time consensus seeking systems whose time-dependent interactions are cut-balanced, in the following sense: if a group of agents influences the remaining ones, the former group is also influenced by the remaining ones…
Long-range interacting Hamiltonian systems are believed to relax generically towards non-equilibrium states called "quasi-stationary" because they evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium very slowly, on a time-scale diverging with particle…
Dissipative structures are generally observed when a system relaxes from a far from equilibrium state. To address the reverse question given by the title, we investigate the relaxation process in a closed chemical reaction-diffusion system…
We study the time evolution of classical spin systems with purely relaxational dynamics, quenched from T >> T_c to the critical point, in the semi-infinite geometry. Shortly after the quench, like in the bulk, a nonequilibrium regime…
We investigate a class of reaction processes in which particles move ballistically and react upon colliding. We show that correlations between velocities of colliding particles play a crucial role in the long time behavior. In the…
To study discrete dynamical systems of different types --- deterministic, statistical and quantum --- we develop various approaches. We introduce the concept of a system of discrete relations on an abstract simplicial complex and develop…
We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in a one-dimensional driven two-species stochastic cellular automaton with parallel sublattice update and open boundaries. The dynamics are symmetric with respect to interchange of particles. Starting…
We study equilibrium fluctuations for a class of totally asymmetric zero-range type interacting particle systems. As a main result, we show that density fluctuation of our process converges to the stationary energy solution of the…
