Slow heat-driven flow in a gas of hard disks

Amit Kumar, Abhishek Dhar, Baruch Meerson

We study a slow heat-driven flow in a gas of elastically colliding hard disks confined to a long channel. The initial state consists of two regions with large temperature and densi…

Lattice Brownian bees with cooperative reproduction: steady states, collapse, and spreading

Ohad Vilk, Baruch Meerson

We extend the ``Brownian bees'' model of Berestycki et al. (2021, 2022) to cooperative reproduction, , of a population of symmetric random walkers with removal,…

Emergent population dynamics of random walkers with cooperative reproduction and spatial selection

Ohad Vilk, Baruch Meerson

We extend the branching Brownian motions model of population invasion to higher-order asexual reproduction. Increasing reproduction order leads to qualitative changes: invasion…

Speed fluctuations of a stochastic Huxley-Zel'dovich front

Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov

The empirical speed of travelling reaction-diffusion fronts fluctuates due to the intrinsic shot noise of the reactions and diffusion. Here we study the long-time front speed fluct…

Short-time statistics of extinction and blowup in reaction kinetics

Rotem Degany, Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson

We study the statistics of extinction and blowup times in well-mixed systems of stochastically reacting particles. We focus on the short-time tail, , of the extinction- or…

Collective behavior of independent scaled Brownian particles with renewal resetting

Ohad Vilk, Baruch Meerson

We study fluctuations of an ensemble of independent particles undergoing anomalous diffusion with random renewal resetting. The anomalous diffusion is modeled by the scaled Bro…
