We study the role of demographic fluctuations in typical endemics as exemplified by the stochastic SIRS model. The birth-death master equation of the model is simulated using exact numerics and analysed within the linear noise…

We study a monostable reaction-diffusion equation of the form $u_t=du_{xx}+f(u)$ over a semi-infinite spatial domain $[g(t),\infty)$, with $x=g(t)$ the free boundary whose evolution is governed by equations derived from a ``preferred…

Local loss-landscape stabilization under sample growth is typically measured either pointwise or through isotropic averaging in the full parameter space. Despite practical value, both choices probe directions that contribute little to the…

Motivated by the study of trace for Schramm-Loewner evolutions, we consider evolutions of planar domains governed by ordinary differential equations with holomorphic vector fields $F$ defined on the upper half plane $\mathbb{H}$. We show a…

We consider a singular stochastic control problem, which is called the Monotone Follower Stochastic Control Problem and give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a local-time type optimal control. To establish this…

It is well-known that convex variational problems with linear growth and Dirichlet boundary conditions might not have minimizers if the boundary condition is not suitably relaxed. We show that for a wide range of integrands, including the…

Standard statistical mechanical or condensed matter arguments tell us that bulk properties of a physical system do not depend too much on boundary conditions. Random tilings of large regions provide counterexamples to such intuition, as…

In the context of nonparametric regression models with one-sided errors, we consider parametric transformations of the response variable in order to obtain independence between the errors and the covariates. We focus in this paper on…

We study the asymptotic expansion of the determinant of the graph Laplacian associated to discretizations of a half-translation surface endowed with a flat unitary vector bundle. By doing so, over the discretizations, we relate the…

We contrast analytical results of a variety of growth models involving subdiffusion, thermal noise and quenched disorder with simulations of these models, concluding that the assumed self-affinity property is more an exception than a rule.…

We prove the well-posedness of a differential equation that describes the evolution of the large-system limit of the empirical age measure in the mean field forest fire model of R\'ath and T\'oth (arXiv:0808.2116). This forest fire model is…

We formulate a statistical-mechanical description of a recently introduced random planting model in which plants are represented by growing hard disks. Seedlings of negligible size are introduced at random positions in a field, grow at a…

We consider a discrete-time stochastic growth model on the $d$-dimensional lattice with non-negative real numbers as possible values per site. The growth model describes various interesting examples such as oriented site/bond percolation,…

Density estimation and inference methods are widely used in empirical work. When the underlying distribution has compact support, conventional kernel-based density estimators are no longer consistent near or at the boundary because of their…

Some monospecies age class models, as well as specific multi-species models (with so-called technical interactions), exhibit useful monotonicity properties. This paper deals with discrete time monotone bioeconomics dynamics in the presence…

We derive bounds on the scope for a confidence band to adapt to the unknown regularity of a nonparametric function that is observed with noise, such as a regression function or density, under the self-similarity condition proposed by Gine…

Aqueous foams and a wide range of related systems are believed to coarsen by gas diffusion between neighboring domains into a statistically self-similar scaling state, after the decay of initial transients, such that dimensionless size and…

We consider a partial differential equation model for the growth of heterogeneous cell populations subdivided into multiple distinct discrete phenotypes. In this model, cells preferentially move towards regions where they feel less…

Distance measurements have long provided the primary observational constraints on the expansion history of the Universe and the properties of dark energy. However, because such observables depend on cumulative line-of-sight integrals over…

We review some recent coarse-graining and multi-scale methods, but also put forward some new ideas for addressing such issues. We find that, if one is guided by nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, it is possible to…
