Scaling limit of the random walk among random traps on ℤd
Attributing a positive value τx to each x∈ℤd, we investigate a nearest-neighbour random walk which is reversible for the measure with weights (τx), often known as “Bouchaud’s trap model.” We assume that these weights are independent, identically distributed and non-integrable random variables (with polynomial tail), and that d≥5. We obtain the quenched subdiffusive scaling limit of the model, the limit being the fractional kinetics process. We begin our proof by expressing the random walk as the...
Scaling limits of anisotropic Hastings–Levitov clusters
We consider a variation of the standard Hastings–Levitov model HL(0), in which growth is anisotropic. Two natural scaling limits are established and we give precise descriptions of the effects of the anisotropy. We show that the limit shapes can be realised as Loewner hulls and that the evolution of harmonic measure on the cluster boundary can be described by the solution to a deterministic ordinary differential equation related to the Loewner equation. We also characterise the stochastic fluctuations...
Scaling of a random walk on a supercritical contact process
We prove a strong law of large numbers for a one-dimensional random walk in a dynamic random environment given by a supercritical contact process in equilibrium. The proof uses a coupling argument based on the observation that the random walk eventually gets trapped inside the union of space–time cones contained in the infection clusters generated by single infections. In the case where the local drifts of the random walk are smaller than the speed at which infection clusters grow, the random walk...

Semi-Markov control processes with non-compact action spaces and discontinuous costs
We establish the average cost optimality equation and show the existence of an (ε-)optimal stationary policy for semi-Markov control processes without compactness and continuity assumptions. The only condition we impose on the model is the V-geometric ergodicity of the embedded Markov chain governed by a stationary policy.
Semi-Markov processes for reliability studies
Semi-Markov processes for reliability studies
We study the evolution of a multi-component system which is modeled by a semi-Markov process. We give formulas for the avaibility and the reliability of the system. In the r-positive case, we prove that the quasi-stationary probability on the working states is the normalised left eigenvector of some computable matrix and that the asymptotic failure rate is equal to the absolute value of the convergence parameter r.

Shape transition under excess self-intersections for transient random walk
We reveal a shape transition for a transient simple random walk forced to realize an excess q-norm of the local times, as the parameter q crosses the value qc(d)=d/(d−2). Also, as an application of our approach, we establish a central limit theorem for the q-norm of the local times in dimension 4 or more.

Shock models with NBUFR and NBAFR survivals.
The life distribution H(t) of a device subject to shocks governed by a Poisson process and pure birth process is considered as a function of probabilities Pk of not surviving the first k shocks. It is shown that some properties of a discrete distribution {P'k} are reflected on properties of the continuous life distribution H(t). In particular, if Pk has the discrete NBUFR properties, then H(t) has the continuous NBUFR and NBAFR properties. The NBUFR and NBAFR life distributions are obtained under...
