• #### Stochastic spatial models in ecology: a statistical physics approach ﻿

(Journal of Statistical Physics, 2017-11-21)
Ecosystems display a complex spatial organization. Ecologists have long tried to characterize them by looking at how different measures of biodiversity change across spatial scales. Ecological neutral theory has provided ...
• #### Fractional kinetics in random/complex media ﻿

(Handbook of Fractional Calculus with Applications Volume 5 Applications in Physics, Part B, 2019)
In this chapter, we consider a randomly-scaled Gaussian process and discuss a number of applications to model fractional diffusion. Actually, this approach can be understood as a Gaussian diffusion in a medium characterized ...
• #### Fractional Brownian motion in a finite interval: correlations effect depletion or accretion zones of particles near boundaries ﻿

(New Journal of Physics, 2019-02)
Fractional Brownian motion (FBM) is a Gaussian stochastic process with stationary, long-time correlated increments and is frequently used to model anomalous diffusion processes. We study numerically FBM confined to a finite ...
• #### Surrogate-based uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for bacterial invasion in multi-species biofilm modeling ﻿

(Communications Nonlinear Sciences and Numerical Simulation, 2019)
In this work, we present a probabilistic analysis of a detailed one-dimensional biofilm model that explicitly accounts for planktonic bacterial invasion in a multi-species biofilm. The objective is (1) to quantify and ...
• #### Finite-energy Lévy-type motion through heterogeneous ensemble of Brownian particles ﻿

(Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019-02-01)
Complex systems are known to display anomalous diffusion, whose signature is a space/time scaling $x \sim t^\delta$ with $\delta \neq 1/2$ in the probability density function (PDF). Anomalous diffusion can emerge jointly ...
• #### Fire-spotting generated fires. Part I: The role of atmospheric stability ﻿

(Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2019-02)
This is the first part of two papers concerning fire-spotting generated fires. In this part we deal with the impact of macroscale factors, such as the atmospheric stability, and in the second part we deal with mesoscale ...
• #### Non-cooperative Equilibria of Fermi Systems With Long Range Interactions ﻿

(Memoirs of the AMS, 2013-07)
• #### RandomFront 2.3 A physical parametrisation of fire-spotting for operational fire spread models: Implementation in WRF-Sfire and response analysis with LSFire+ ﻿

(Geoscientific Model Development, 2018-12)
Fire-spotting is often responsible for a dangerous flare up in the wildfire and causes secondary ignitions isolated from the primary fire zone leading to perilous situations. The main aim of the present research to provide ...
• #### On Zariski’s multiplicity problem at infinity ﻿

(Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2018-08-14)
We address a metric version of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture at infinity that says that two complex algebraic affine sets which are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic at infinity must have the same degree. More specifically, ...
• #### Measure-valued weak solutions to some kinetic equations with singular kernels for quantum particles ﻿

(2018-12-19)
In this thesis, we present a mathematical study of three problems arising in the kinetic theory of quantum gases. In the first part, we consider a Boltzmann equation that is used to describe the time evolution of the ...
• #### Singularities in Geometry and Topology ﻿

(2018-06-18)
This thesis consists of two different topics that are not related. The thesis has two different and independent parts that can be read in any order. The purpose of this work is to study two topics in singularity theory: ...
• #### Crossover from anomalous to normal diffusion: truncated power-law noise correlations and applications to dynamics in lipid bilayers ﻿

(New Journal of Physics, 2018-10-18)
The emerging diffusive dynamics in many complex systems shows a characteristic crossover behaviour from anomalous to normal diffusion which is otherwise fitted by two independent power-laws. A prominent example for a ...
