Gapped vegetation patterns: crown/root allometry and snaking bifurcation
Jaime Cisternas, Daniel Escaff, M. Clerc +2
Nonuniform spatial distributions of vegetation in scarce environments consist of either gaps, bands often called tiger bush or patches that can be either self-organized or spatiall…
A continuous-time persistent random walk model for flocking
Daniel Escaff, Raul Toral, Christian Van den Broeck +1
Random walkers characterized by random positions and random velocities lead to normal diffusion. A random walk was originally proposed by Einstein to model Brownian motion and to d…
Extended patchy ecosystems may increase their total biomass through self-replication
Mustapha Tlidi, Ignacio Bordeu, Marcel G. Clerc +1
Patches of vegetation consist of dense clusters of shrubs, grass, or trees, often found to be circular characteristic size, defined by the properties of the vegetation and terrain.…
Stochastic thermodynamics for Ising chain and symmetric exclusion process
R. Toral, C. Van den Broeck, D. Escaff +1
We verify the finite time fluctuation theorem for a linear Ising chain at its ends in contact with heat reservoirs. Analytic results are derived for a chain consisting of only two…
Synchronization of coupled noisy oscillators: Coarse-graining from continuous to discrete phases
Daniel Escaff, Alexandre Rosas, Raul Toral +1
The theoretical description of synchronization phenomena often relies on coupled units of continuous time noisy Markov chains with a small number of states in each unit. It is freq…
On localized vegetation patterns, fairy circles and localized patches in arid landscapes
D. Escaff, C. Fernandez-Oto, M. G. Clerc +1
We investigate the formation of localized structures with a varying width in one and two-dimensional systems. The mechanism of stabilization is attributed to strong nonlocal coupli…
