We consider transport of passive particles in steady laminar plane flows of incompressible viscous fluids. While drifting along the streamlines, the particles experience alternating accelerations and slowdowns. For an ensemble of particles,…
The dynamics of non-spherical rigid particles immersed in an axisymmetric random flow is studied analytically. The motion of the particles is described by Jeffery's equation; the random flow is Gaussian and has short correlation time.The…
Exploiting the coherent medium approximation, random walk among sites distributed randomly in space is investigated when the jump rate depends on the distance between two adjacent sites. In one dimension, it is shown that when the jump rate…
In this paper, we consider a classic problem concerning the high excursion probabilities of a Gaussian random field $f$ living on a compact set $T$. We develop efficient computational methods for the tail probabilities $P(\sup_T f(t) > b)$…
Consider sequential packing of unit balls in a large cube, as in the Renyi car-parking model, but in any dimension and with Poisson input. We show after suitable rescaling that the spatial distribution of packed balls tends to that of a…
We consider the Gaussian Entire Function (GEF) whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian variables, and the variance of the kth coefficient is 1/k!. This random Taylor series is distinguished by the invariance of its…
A pedagogical account of some aspects of Extreme Value Statistics (EVS) is presented from the somewhat non-standard viewpoint of Large Deviation Theory. We address the following problem: given a set of $N$ i.i.d. random variables…
Two-dimensional random Lorentz gases with absorbing traps are considered in which a moving point particle undergoes elastic collisions on hard disks and annihilates when reaching a trap. In systems of finite spatial extension, the…
We consider solutions to an elliptic partial differential equation in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a stationary, random conductivity coefficient. The boundary condition on a square domain of width $L$ is chosen so that the solution has a macroscopic…
Our recent work identifies material surfaces in incompressible flows that extremize the transport of an arbitrary, weakly diffusive scalar field relative to neighboring surfaces. Such barriers and enhancers of transport can be located…
We develop a theory of optimal transport for stationary random measures with a focus on stationary point processes and construct a family of distances on the set of stationary random measures. These induce a natural notion of interpolation…
Let $Z$ and $W$ be a pair of point distributions of finite upper density on the complex plane $\mathbb C$ with the real axis $\mathbb R$. We give several variants of necessary and at the same time sufficient conditions for their…
We present an efficient method for computing the zero frequency limit of transport coefficients in strongly coupled field theories described holographically by higher derivative gravity theories. Hydrodynamic parameters such as shear…
We introduce Gradient Flow Aggregation (GFA), a random growth model. Given a set of existing particles $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, a new particle arrives from a random direction at $\infty$ and flows in direction…
Motivated by applications to insurance mathematics, we prove some heavy-traffic limit theorems for processes which encompass the fractionally differentiated random walk as well as some FARIMA processes, when the innovations are in the…
In machine learning and computer vision, optimal transport has had significant success in learning generative models and defining metric distances between structured and stochastic data objects, that can be cast as probability measures. The…
Flow and transport in fractured geological media are strongly controlled by aperture heterogeneity and uncertainty in subsurface characterisation, yet most upscaling approaches rely on deterministic representations of fracture permeability.…
In this paper we discuss a closed-form approximation of the likelihood functions of an arbitrary diffusion process. The approximation is based on an exponential ansatz of the transition probability for a finite time step $\Delta t$, and a…
Rotor walk is deterministic counterpart of random walk on graphs. We study that under a certain initial configuration in Z^d, n particles perform rotor walks from the origin consecutively. They would stop if they hit the origin or infinity.…
The problem of deriving a gradient flow structure for the porous medium equation which is {\em thermodynamic}, in that it arises from the large deviations of some microscopic particle system, is studied. To this end, a rescaled zero-range…
