Asymptotics of Markov Kernels and the Tail Chain

Sidney I. Resnick, David Zeber

An asymptotic model for extreme behavior of certain Markov chains is the "tail chain". Generally taking the form of a multiplicative random walk, it is useful in deriving extremal…

Resilience to Contagion in Financial Networks

Hamed Amini, Rama Cont, Andreea Minca

Propagation of balance-sheet or cash-flow insolvency across financial institutions may be modeled as a cascade process on a network representing their mutual exposures. We derive r…

Propagating left/right asymmetry in the zebrafish embryo: one-dimensional model

Hanrong Chen, C. L. Henley, B. Xu

During embryonic development in vertebrates, left-right (L/R) asymmetry is reliably generated by a conserved mechanism: a L/R asymmetric signal is transmitted from the embryonic no…

Polytope Codes Against Adversaries in Networks

Oliver Kosut, Lang Tong, David Tse

Network coding is studied when an adversary controls a subset of nodes in the network of limited quantity but unknown location. This problem is shown to be more difficult than when…
