A duration-augmented binary Markov chain for rainfall occurrence with long dry spells

Antoine Doizé, Denis Allard, Philippe Naveau +1

Simulating realistic wet and dry spells is central in weather generators and climate-impact studies. While finite-order Markov chains are standard, they often fail to reproduce per…

A Generalization of Caffarelli's Contraction Theorem to Nearly Spherical Manifolds

Yuxin Ge, Jordan Serres

We show that every nearly spherical manifold can be realized as the volume-preserving image of a round sphere, via the Brenier-McCann optimal transport map. This theorem extends Ca…

Hyperbolic absolutely continuous invariant measures for C^r one-dimensional maps

Alexandre Delplanque

For r > 1, we show, using the Ledrappier-Young entropy characterization of SRB measures for non-invertible maps, that if a C^r map f of the interval or the circle has its Lyapunov…
