Approaching complexity by stochastic methods: From biological systems to turbulence

R Friedrich, J Peinke, M Sahimi, MRR Tabar - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
This review addresses a central question in the field of complex systems: given a fluctuating
(in time or space), sequentially measured set of experimental data, how should one analyze …

Mapping stochastic processes onto complex networks

AH Shirazi, GR Jafari, J Davoudi… - Journal of Statistical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We introduce a method by which stochastic processes are mapped onto complex networks.
As examples, we construct the networks for such time series as those for free-jet and low …

Markov analysis and Kramers-Moyal expansion of nonstationary stochastic processes with application to the fluctuations in the oil price

F Ghasemi, M Sahimi, J Peinke, R Friedrich… - Physical Review E …, 2007 - APS
We describe a general method for analyzing a nonstationary stochastic process X (t) which,
unlike many of the previous analysis methods, does not require X (t) to have any scaling …

Clustering of local extrema in Planck CMB maps

A Vafaei Sadr, SMS Movahed - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The clustering of local extrema will be exploited to examine Gaussianity, asymmetry, and the
footprint of the cosmic-string network on the CMB observed by Planck. The number density …

Multifractal analysis of light scattering-intensity fluctuations

F Shayeganfar, S Jabbari-Farouji, MS Movahed… - Physical Review E …, 2009 - APS
We provide a simple interpretation of non-Gaussian nature of the light scattering-intensity
fluctuations from an aging colloidal suspension of Laponite using the multiplicative cascade …

Level crossing analysis of cosmic microwave background radiation: a method for detecting cosmic strings

MS Movahed, S Khosravi - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we study the footprint of cosmic string as the topological defects in the very
early universe on the cosmic microwave background radiation. We develop the method of …

Controlling surface statistical properties using bias voltage: Atomic force microscopy and stochastic analysis

P Sangpour, GR Jafari, O Akhavan, AZ Moshfegh… - Physical Review B …, 2005 - APS
The effect of bias voltages on the statistical properties of rough surfaces has been studied
using atomic force microscopy technique and its stochastic analysis. We have characterized …

Stochastic features of rough surfaces: analysis of laser-induced silicon surface modification

M Vahabi, GR Jafari, N Mansour… - Journal of Statistical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We have used level crossing analysis to obtain further insights on roughness and
multifractality. In addition, sources of multifractality could be specified by using shuffling and …

Level crossing analysis of the stock markets

GR Jafari, MS Movahed, SM Fazeli… - Journal of Statistical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the average frequency of positive slope ν α+ crossing for the returns of
market prices. The method is based on stochastic processes in which no scaling feature is …

Characterization of the anisotropy of rough surfaces: Crossing statistics

M Ghasemi Nezhadhaghighi, SMS Movahed… - Journal of Applied …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
In this paper, we propose the use of crossing statistics and its generalizations as a new
framework to characterize the anisotropy of a 2D rough surface. The proposed method is …
