Source-sink systems are metapopulations of patches that can be of variable habitat quality. They can be seen as graphs, where vertices represent the patches, and the weighted oriented edges give the probability of dispersal from one patch…
We investigate aggregation driven by mass injection. In this stochastic process, mass is added with constant rate r and clusters merge at a constant total rate 1, so that both the total number of clusters and the total mass steadily grow…
The problem of clustering is considered, for the case when each data point is a sample generated by a stationary ergodic process. We propose a very natural asymptotic notion of consistency, and show that simple consistent algorithms exist,…

Diffusion-limited cluster aggregation (DLCA) is a well established model for the formation of highly porous low-density non-equilibrium structures. One of the main conclusions of the previous studies considering this model is that the…
We consider a stationary random field indexed by an increasing sequence of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ obeying a very broad geometrical assumption on how the sequence expands. Under certain mixing and local conditions, we show how the tail…
Coagulation-fragmentation processes describe the stochastic association and dissociation of particles in clusters. Cluster dynamics with cluster-cluster interactions for a finite number of particles has recently attracted attention…
One key use of k-means clustering is to identify cluster prototypes which can serve as representative points for a dataset. However, a drawback of using k-means cluster centers as representative points is that such points distort the…
Anomalous coarsening in far-from equilibrium one-dimensional systems is investigated by simulation and analytic techniques. The minimal hard core particle (exclusion) models contain mechanisms of aggregated particle diffusion, with rates…
A simple three-dimensional model of a fluid whose constituent particles interact via a short range attractive and long range repulsive potential is used to model the aggregation into large spherical-like clusters made up of hundreds of…
The effects of the orbital diffusion of stars and clusters on the galactic abundance gradient have been modelled. For a single generation of field stars, the results confirm previous analyses based upon the assumption of a linear gradient…
In this paper, we analyze the behavior of the global clustering coefficient in scale free graphs. We are especially interested in the case of degree distribution with an infinite variance, since such degree distribution is usually observed…
We consider an infinite-dimensional stochastic clustering model on $\mathbb{R}$. In discrete time, each point of a unit-intensity simple point process moves halfway toward either of its left or right neighbors, chosen uniformly at random.…
We investigate a class of stochastic aggregation processes involving two types of clusters: active and passive. The mass distribution is obtained analytically for several aggregation rates. When the aggregation rate is constant, we find…
The persistence over space and time of flash flood disasters -- flash floods that have caused either economical or life losses, or both -- is a diagnostic measure of areas subjected to hydrological risk. The concept of persistence can be…
We study the following distribution clustering problem: Given a hidden partition of $k$ distributions into two groups, such that the distributions within each group are the same, and the two distributions associated with the two clusters…
We propose a new method for clustering based on the local minimization of the \gamma-divergence, which we call the spontaneous clustering. The greatest advantage of the proposed method is that it automatically detects the number of clusters…
A celebrated result of Pollard proves asymptotic consistency for $k$-means clustering when the population distribution has finite variance. In this work, we point out that the population-level $k$-means clustering problem is, in fact,…
Many real-world networks exhibit scale-free feature, have a small diameter and a high clustering tendency. We have studied the properties of a growing network, which has all these features, in which an incoming node is connected to its…
The distribution of masses of clusters smaller than the infinite cluster is evaluated at the percolation threshold. The clusters are ranked according to their masses and the distribution $P(M/L^D,r)$ of the scaled masses M for any rank r…
