The Stationary Behaviour of Fluid Limits of Reversible Processes is Concentrated on Stationary Points

Assume that a stochastic process can be approximated, when some scale parameter gets large, by a fluid limit (also called mean field limit", or hydrodynamic limit"). A common practice, often called the ``fixed point approximation" consists in approxima ...

Limit Behaviour of the Voter Model, Exclusion Process and Regenerative Chains

Samuel Schöpfer

Though the following topics seem unlinked, most of the tools used in this thesis are related to random walks and renewal theory. After introducing the voter model, we consider the parabolic Anderson model with the voter model as catalyst. In GÄRTNER, DEN H ...

Relative influence of mechanical and meteorological factors on avalanche release depth distributions: An application to French Alps

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

The evaluation of avalanche release depth distributions represents a major challenge for hazard management. This paper presents a rigorous formalism in which these distributions are expressed through a coupling of mechanical and meteorological factors. Con ...

Reliability Analysis of Data Storage Systems

Vinodh Venkatesan

Modern data storage systems are extremely large and consist of several tens or hundreds of nodes. In such systems, node failures are daily events, and safeguarding data from them poses a serious design challenge. The focus of this thesis is on the data rel ...

Compressibility of Deterministic and Random Infinite Sequences

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini

We introduce a definition of the notion of compressibility for infinite deterministic and i.i.d. random sequences which is based on the asymptotic behavior of truncated subsequences. For this purpose, we use asymptotic results regarding the distribution of ...

The Contact Process

Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

This work is a study of three interacting particle systems that are modified versions of the contact process. The contact process is a spin system defined on a graph and is commonly taken as a model for the spread of an infection in a population; transmiss ...

Power Law and Exponential Decay of Intercontact Times between Mobile Devices

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

We examine the fundamental properties that determine the basic performance metrics for opportunistic communications. We first consider the distribution of intercontact times between mobile devices. Using a diverse set of measured mobility traces, we find a ...
