Fluctuations in protein numbers (noise) due to inherent stochastic effects in single cells can have large effects on the dynamic behavior of gene regulatory networks. Although deterministic models can predict the average network behavior, they fail to incorporate the stochasticity characteristic of gene expression, thereby limiting their relevance when single cell behaviors deviate from the pop...

In present paper we introduce the notion of dissipative quadratic stochastic operator and cubic stochastic operator. We prove necessary conditions for dissipativity of quadratic stochastic operators. Besides, it is studied certain limit behavior of such operators. Finally we prove ergodic theorem for dissipative operators. Mathematics Subject Classification: 15A51, 47H60, 46T05, 92B99.

We present a technique to associate to stochastic programs written in stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming a semantics in terms of a lattice of hybrid automata. The aim of this construction is to provide a framework to approximate the stochastic behavior by a mixed discrete/continuous dynamics with a variable degree of discreteness.

We have recently reported the phenomenon of doubly stochastic resonance [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 227 (2000)], a synthesis of noise-induced transition and stochastic resonance. The essential feature of this phenomenon is that multiplicative noise induces a bimodality and additive noise causes stochastic resonance behavior in the induced structure. In the present paper we outline possible applicatio...

Stochastic stability is a popular solution concept for stochastic learning dynamics in games. However, a critical limitation of this solution concept is its inability to distinguish between different learning rules that lead to the same steadystate behavior. We address this limitation for the first time and develop a framework for the comparative analysis of stochastic learning dynamics with di...

Stochastic properties of the long time behavior of a continuously observed (and interactively controlled) quantum–field top are investigated mathematically. Applications to interactively controlled stochastic computer-graphic dynamic systems are discussed.

We prove results relating to the exit time of a stochastic process from a region in N -dimensional space. We compute certain stochastic integrals involving the exit time. Taking a Gaussian copula model for the hitting time behavior, we prove several results on the sensitivity of quantities connected with the hitting times to parameters of the model, as well as the large-N behavior. We discuss t...

We report the first observation of stochastic resonance in confined exciton polaritons. We evidence this phenomena by tracking the polaritons behavior through two stochastic resonance quantifiers namely the spectral magnification factor and the signal-to-noise ratio. The evolution of the stochastic resonance in the function of the modulation amplitude of the periodic excitation signal is studie...
