Persistence and first-passage properties in nonequilibrium systems

AJ Bray, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Advances in Physics, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
In this review, we discuss the persistence and the related first-passage properties in
extended many-body nonequilibrium systems. Starting with simple systems with one or few …

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 …

Universal Survival Probability for a -Dimensional Run-and-Tumble Particle

F Mori, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We consider an active run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in d dimensions and compute exactly
the probability S (t) that the x component of the position of the RTP does not change sign up …

Theory and experiments for disordered elastic manifolds, depinning, avalanches, and sandpiles

KJ Wiese - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Domain walls in magnets, vortex lattices in superconductors, contact lines at
depinning, and many other systems can be modeled as an elastic system subject to …

Quasi-periodic events in crystal plasticity and the self-organized avalanche oscillator

S Papanikolaou, DM Dimiduk, W Choi, JP Sethna… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
When external stresses in a system—physical, social or virtual—are relieved through
impulsive events, it is natural to focus on the attributes of these avalanches,. However …

Universal properties of a run-and-tumble particle in arbitrary dimension

F Mori, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We consider an active run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in d dimensions, starting from the
origin and evolving over a time interval [0, t]. We examine three different models for the …

Record statistics for random walks and Lévy flights with resetting

SN Majumdar, P Mounaix… - Journal of Physics A …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We compute exactly the mean number of records⟨ RN⟩ for a time-series of size N whose
entries represent the positions of a discrete time random walker on the line with resetting. At …

Universal first-passage properties of discrete-time random walks and Lévy flights on a line: Statistics of the global maximum and records

SN Majumdar - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2010 - Elsevier
In these lecture notes I will discuss the universal first-passage properties of a simple
correlated discrete-time sequence {x0= 0, x1, x2,…, xn} up to n steps where xi represents the …

Record statistics of a strongly correlated time series: random walks and Lévy flights

C Godreche, SN Majumdar… - Journal of Physics A …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent advances on the record statistics of strongly correlated time series, whose
entries denote the positions of a random walk or a Lévy flight on a line. After a brief survey of …

Random convex hulls and extreme value statistics

SN Majumdar, A Comtet, J Randon-Furling - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2010 - Springer
In this paper we study the statistical properties of convex hulls of N random points in a plane
chosen according to a given distribution. The points may be chosen independently or they …
