Data-driven computation for periodic stochastic differential equations

Yao Li, Jiatong Sun

Many stochastic differential equations in various applications like coupled neuronal oscillators are driven by time-periodic forces. In this paper, we extend several data-driven co…

Artificial neural network solver for Fokker-Planck and Koopman eigenfunctions

Max Kreider, Peter J. Thomas, Yao Li

For a stochastic differential equation (SDE) that is an Itô diffusion or Langevin equation, the Fokker-Planck operator governs the evolution of the probability density, while its a…

Non-equilibrium steady state for a three-mode energy cascade model

Zaher Hani, Yao Li, Andrea Nahmod +1

Motivated by the central phenomenon of energy cascades in wave turbulence theory, we construct non-equilibrium statistical steady states (NESS), or invariant measures, for a simpli…

Supervised Parameter Estimation of Neuron Populations from Multiple Firing Events

Long Le, Yao Li

The firing dynamics of biological neurons in mathematical models is often determined by the model's parameters, representing the neurons' underlying properties. The parameter estim…

Entropy, mutual information, and systematic measures of structured spiking neural networks

Wenjie Li, Yao Li

The aim of this paper is to investigate various information-theoretic measures, including entropy, mutual information, and some systematic measures that based on mutual information…

From deterministic dynamics to thermodynamic laws II: Fourier's law and mesoscopic limit equation

Yao Li

This paper consider the mesoscopic limit of a stochastic energy exchange model that is numerically derived from deterministic dynamics. The law of large numbers and the central lim…

Thermal conductivity and local thermodynamic equilibrium of stochastic energy exchange models

Yao Li, Wenbo Xie

In this paper we study macroscopic thermodynamic properties of a stochastic microscopic heat conduction model that is reduced from deterministic problems. Our goal is to numericall…

Firing rate and spatial correlation in a stochastic neural field model

Yao Li, Hui Xu

This paper studies a stochastic neural field model that is extended from our previous paper [14]. The neural field model consists of many heterogeneous local populations of neurons…

A data-driven method for the steady state of randomly perturbed dynamics

Yao Li

We demonstrate a data-driven method to solve for the invariant probability density function of a randomly perturbed dynamical system. The key idea is to replace the boundary condit…

From billiards to thermodynamic laws: I. Stochastic energy exchange model

Yao Li, Lingchen Bu

This paper studies a billiards-like microscopic heat conduction model, which describes the dynamics of gas molecules in a long tube with thermalized boundary. We numerically invest…

Numerical simulation of polynomial-speed convergence phenomenon

Yao Li, Hui Xu

We provide a hybrid method that captures the polynomial speed of convergence and polynomial speed of mixing for Markov processes. The hybrid method that we introduce is based on th…

On the polynomial convergence rate to nonequilibrium steady-states

Yao Li

We consider a stochastic energy exchange model that models the 1D microscopic heat conduction in the nonequilibrium setting. In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of…

Systematic Measures of Biological Networks, Part II: Degeneracy, Complexity and Robustness

Yao Li, Yingfei Yi

This paper is Part II of a two-part series devoting to the study of systematic measures in a complex bio-network modeled by a system of ordinary differential equations. In this par…

Local thermal equilibrium for certain stochastic models of heat transport

Yao Li, Peter Nandori, Lai-Sang Young

This paper is about nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) of a class of stochastic models in which particles exchange energy with their "local environments" rather than directly with…

Convergence to global equilibrium for Fokker-Planck equations on a graph and Talagrand-type inequalities

Rui Che, Wen Huang, Yao Li +1

In recent work, Chow, Huang, Li and Zhou introduced the study of Fokker-Planck equations for a free energy function defined on a finite graph. When is the number of vertic…
