Most probable escape paths in perturbed gradient systems
Katherine Slyman, Mackenzie Simper, John A. Gemmer +1
Stochastic systems are used to model a variety of phenomena in which noise plays an essential role. In these models, one potential goal is to determine if noise can induce transiti…
Tipping in a Low-Dimensional Model of a Tropical Cyclone
Katherine Slyman, John A. Gemmer, Nicholas K. Corak +2
A presumed impact of global climate change is the increase in frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones. Due to the possible destruction that occurs when tropical cyclones make…
Most probable transition paths in piecewise-smooth stochastic differential equations
Kaitlin Hill, Jessica Zanetell, John A Gemmer
We develop a path integral framework for determining most probable paths in a class of systems of stochastic differential equations with piecewise-smooth drift and additive noise.…
Epidemic Conditions with Temporary Link Deactivation on a Network SIR Disease Model
Hannah Scanlon, John Gemmer
The spread of an infectious disease depends on intrinsic properties of the disease as well as the connectivity and actions of the population. This study investigates the dynamics o…
Nature's forms are frilly, flexible, and functional
Kenneth K. Yamamoto, Toby L. Shearman, Erik J. Struckmeyer +2
A ubiquitous motif in nature is the self-similar hierarchical buckling of a thin lamina near its margins. This is seen in leaves, flowers, fungi, corals, and marine invertebrates.…
Noise-induced tipping under periodic forcing: preferred tipping phase in a non-adiabatic forcing regime
Yuxin Chen, John Gemmer, Mary Silber +1
We consider a periodically-forced 1-D Langevin equation that possesses two stable periodic solutions in the absence of noise. We ask the question: is there a most likely noise-indu…
