Convergence of an algorithm for constructing Lyapunov functions for switched systems using meshfree collocation

Jay Ward, Nicos Georgiou, Peter Giesl

Switched systems are a class of dynamical systems where trajectories switch between different systems based on a switching rule. This rule can depend on time and/or the position of…

Construction of Lyapunov Functions for Switched Systems using Meshfree Collocation

Jay Ward, Nicos Georgiou, Peter Giesl

Switched systems are a family of dynamical systems where a switching rule indicates which system is "switched on". This rule can be dependent on time and/or position in the state s…

Hydrodynamic limits for TASEP with space-time discontinuities

Jacob Butt, Nicos Georgiou, Enrico Scalas

We develop a hydrodynamic theory for a height-dependent version of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in which the jump rate at a growth site is sampled from a macrosc…

A restless time-fractional multiclass queue

Nicos Georgiou, Enrico Scalas, Vladislav Vysotsky

We study a single-server priority queue with a finite number of classes, in which the arrivals follow a fractional Poisson process of index and the service completions…

Insights from exact social contagion dynamics on networks with higher-order structures

István Z. Kiss, Iacopo Iacopini, Péter L. Simon +1

Recently there has been an increasing interest in studying dynamical processes on networks exhibiting higher-order structures, such as simplicial complexes, where the dynamics acts…

Queuing models with Mittag-Leffler inter-event times

Jacob Butt, Nicos Georgiou, Enrico Scalas

We study three non-equivalent queueing models in continuous time that each generalise the classical M/M/1 queue in a different way. Inter-event times in all models are Mittag-Leffl…

Coupling derivation of optimal-order central moment bounds in exponential last-passage percolation

Elnur Emrah, Nicos Georgiou, Janosch Ortmann

We introduce new probabilistic arguments to derive optimal-order central moment bounds in planar directed last-passage percolation. Our technique is based on couplings with the inc…

Bounds for mixing times for finite semi-Markov processes with heavy-tail jump distribution

Nicos Georgiou, Enrico Scalas

Consider a Markov chain with finite state space and suppose you wish to change time replacing the integer step index with a random counting process . What happens to the…

The TASEP on Galton-Watson trees

Nina Gantert, Nicos Georgiou, Dominik Schmid

We study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on trees where particles are generated at the root. Particles can only jump away from the root, and they jump from…

Continuum and thermodynamic limits for a simple random-exchange model

Bertram Düring, Nicos Georgiou, Sara Merino-Aceituno +1

We discuss various limits of a simple random exchange model that can be used for the distribution of wealth. We start from a discrete state space - discrete time version of this mo…

Theoretical and numerical considerations of the assumptions behind triple closures in epidemic models on networks

Nicos Georgiou, IstvÁn Z. Kiss, PÉter Simon

Networks are widely used to model the contact structure within a population and in the resulting models of disease spread. While networks provide a high degree of realism, the anal…

A new method for the robust characterisation of pairwise statistical dependency between point processes

Antoine Messager, Nicos Georgiou, Luc Berthouze

The robust detection of statistical dependencies between the components of a complex system is a key step in gaining a network-based understanding of the system. Because of their s…

A Large deviation principle for last passage times in an asymmetric Bernoulli potential

Federico Ciech, Nicos Georgiou

We prove a large deviation principle and give an expression for the rate function, for the last passage time in a Bernoulli environment. The model is exactly solvable and its invar…

Last passage percolation in an exponential environment with discontinuous rates

Federico Ciech, Nicos Georgiou

We prove a strong law of large numbers for directed last passage times in an independent but inhomogeneous exponential environment. Rates for the exponential random variables are o…

The Mathematics of Human Contact: Developing a Model for Social Interaction in School Children

Stephen Ashton, Enrico Scalas, Nicos Georgiou +1

In this paper, we provide a statistical analysis of high-resolution contact pattern data within primary and secondary schools as collected by the SocioPatterns collaboration. Stude…

Order of the variance in the discrete Hammersley process with boundaries

Federico Ciech, Nicos Georgiou

We discuss the order of the variance on a lattice analogue of the Hammersley process with boundaries, for which the environment on each site has independent, Bernoulli distributed…

Optimality Regions and Fluctuations for Bernoulli Last Passage Models

Nicos Georgiou, Janosch Ortmann

We study the sequence alignment problem and its independent version, the discrete Hammersley process with an exploration penalty. We obtain rigorous upper bounds for the number of…

A stylized model for wealth distribution

Bertram Düring, Nicos Georgiou, Enrico Scalas

The recent book by T. Piketty (Capital in the Twenty-First Century) promoted the important issue of wealth inequality. In the last twenty years, physicists and mathematicians devel…

Solvable non-Markovian dynamic network

Nicos Georgiou, Istvan Z. Kiss, Enrico Scalas

Non-Markovian processes are widespread in natural and human-made systems, yet explicit model- ling and analysis of such systems is underdeveloped. We consider a non-Markovian dynam…

The dimension of the range of a transient random walk

Nicos Georgiou, Davar Khoshnevisan, Kunwoo Kim +1

We find formulas for the macroscopic Minkowski and Hausdorff dimensions of the range of an arbitrary transient walk in Z^d. This endeavor solves a problem of Barlow and Taylor (199…
