Coupling methods in stochastic deposition models (PhD thesis)

چکیده
Considering the hydrodynamical limit of some interacting particle systems leads to hyperbolic differential equation for the conserved quantities, e.g. the inviscid Burgers equation for the simple exclusion process. The physical solutions of these partial differential equations develop discontinuities, called shocks. The microscopic structure of these shocks is of much interest and far from being well understood. We introduce a domain growth model in which we find a stationary (in time) product measure for the model, as seen from a defect tracer or second class particle, traveling with the shock. We also show that under some natural assumptions valid for a wider class of domain growth models, no other model has stationary product measure as seen from the moving defect tracer. Key-words: second class particle; shock solution.

Stochastic models and methods for multi-object tracking
The problem of multiple-object tracking consists in the recursive estimation of the state of several targets by using the information coming from an observation process. The objective of this thesis is to study the spatial branching processes and the measure-valued systems arising in multi-object tracking. We focus on a class of filters called Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filters by fir...
متن کاملStochastic simulation and analysis of biochemical networks
Stochastic effects in biochemical networks can affect the functioning of these systems significantly. Signaling pathways, such as calcium signal transduction, are particularly prone to random fluctuations. Thus, an important question is how this influences the information transfer in these pathways. First, a comprehensive overview and systematic classification of stochastic simulation methods i...
متن کاملNumerical Methods for the Chemical Master Equation
The numerical solution of chemical reactions described at the meso-scale is the topic of this thesis. This description, the master equation of chemical reactions, is an accurate model of reactions where stochastic effects are crucial for explaining certain effects observed in real life. In particular, this general equation is needed when studying processes inside living cells where other macro-...
