Population extinction in a fluctuating environment
Alex Kamenev, Baruch Meerson, Boris Shklovskii
Environmental noise can cause an exponential reduction in the mean time to extinction (MTE) of an isolated population. We study this effect on an example of a stochastic birth-deat…
The Knudsen temperature jump and the Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics of granular gases driven by thermal walls
Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov
Thermal wall is a convenient idealization of a rapidly vibrating plate used for vibrofluidization of granular materials. The objective of this work is to incorporate the Knudsen te…
Noise driven unlimited population growth
Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov
Demographic noise causes unlimited population growth in a broad class of models which, without noise, would predict a stable finite population. We study this effect on the example…
Population extinction in a time-modulated environment
Michael Assaf, Alex Kamenev, Baruch Meerson
The extinction time of an isolated population can be exponentially reduced by a periodic modulation of its environment. We investigate this effect using, as an example, a stochasti…
On population extinction risk in the aftermath of a catastrophic event
Michael Assaf, Alex Kamenev, Baruch Meerson
We investigate how a catastrophic event (modeled as a temporary fall of the reproduction rate) increases the extinction probability of an isolated self-regulated stochastic populat…
Extinction of an infectious disease: a large fluctuation in a non-equilibrium system
Alex Kamenev, Baruch Meerson
We develop a theory of first passage processes in stochastic non-equilibrium systems of birth-death type using two closely related epidemiological models as examples. Our method em…
