Extreme value statistics of correlated random variables: a pedagogical review

SN Majumdar, A Pal, G Schehr - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Extreme value statistics (EVS) concerns the study of the statistics of the maximum or the
minimum of a set of random variables. This is an important problem for any time-series and …

[HTML][HTML] The inspection paradox in stochastic resetting

A Pal, S Kostinski, S Reuveni - Journal of Physics A …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The remaining travel time of a plane shortens with every minute that passes from its
departure, and a flame diminishes a candle with every second it burns. Such everyday …

First passage under restart with branching

A Pal, I Eliazar, S Reuveni - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
First passage under restart with branching is proposed as a generalization of first passage
under restart. Strong motivation to study this generalization comes from the observation that …

The critical catastrophe revisited

C De Mulatier, E Dumonteil, A Rosso… - Journal of Statistical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
The neutron population in a prototype model of nuclear reactor can be described in terms of
a collection of particles confined in a box and undergoing three key random mechanisms …

Clustering of branching Brownian motions in confined geometries

A Zoia, E Dumonteil, A Mazzolo, C de Mulatier… - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We study the evolution of a collection of individuals subject to Brownian diffusion,
reproduction, and disappearance. In particular, we focus on the case where the individuals …

Clusters in an epidemic model with long-range dispersal

X Cao, P Le Doussal, A Rosso - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
In the presence of long-range dispersal, epidemics spread in spatially disconnected regions
known as clusters. Here, we characterize exactly their statistical properties in a solvable …

On the gap and time interval between the first two maxima of long random walks

SN Majumdar, P Mounaix… - Journal of Statistical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In the context of order statistics of discrete time random walks (RW), we investigate the
statistics of the gap, G n, and the number of time steps, L n, between the two highest …

Branching Brownian motion conditioned on particle numbers

K Ramola, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2015 - Elsevier
We study analytically the order and gap statistics of particles at time t for the one
dimensional branching Brownian motion, conditioned to have a fixed number of particles at …

Large-displacement statistics of the rightmost particle of the one-dimensional branching Brownian motion

B Derrida, B Meerson, PV Sasorov - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
Consider a one-dimensional branching Brownian motion and rescale the coordinate and
time so that the rates of branching and diffusion are both equal to 1. If X 1 (t) is the position of …
