Spectral theory of metastability and extinction in a branching-annihilation reaction
Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We apply the spectral method, recently developed by the authors, to calculate the statistics of a reaction-limited multi-step birth-death process, or chemical reaction, that includ…
Spectral theory of metastability and extinction in birth-death systems
Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We suggest a general spectral method for calculating statistics of multi-step birth-death processes and chemical reactions of the type mA->nA (m and n are positive integers) which…
Formation and evolution of density singularities in hydrodynamics of inelastic gases
Itzhak Fouxon, Baruch Meerson, Michael Assaf +1
We use ideal hydrodynamics to investigate clustering in a gas of inelastically colliding spheres. The hydrodynamic equations exhibit a new type of finite-time density blowup, where…
Spectral formulation and WKB approximation for rare-event statistics in reaction systems
Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We develop a spectral formulation and a stationary WKB approximation for calculating the probabilities of rare events (large deviations from the mean) in systems of reacting partic…
Experimental Study of Parametric Autoresonance in Faraday Waves
Oded Ben-David, Michael Assaf, Jay Fineberg +1
The excitation of large amplitude nonlinear waves is achieved via parametric autoresonance of Faraday waves. We experimentally demonstrate that phase locking to low amplitude drivi…
