The large-scale structure of many turbulent flows encountered in practical situations such as
aeronautics, industry, meteorology is nowadays successfully computed using the …

Growing interfaces uncover universal fluctuations behind scale invariance

KA Takeuchi, M Sano, T Sasamoto, H Spohn - Scientific reports, 2011 - nature.com
Stochastic motion of a point–known as Brownian motion–has many successful applications
in science, thanks to its scale invariance and consequent universal features such as …

Evidence for geometry-dependent universal fluctuations of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interfaces in liquid-crystal turbulence

KA Takeuchi, M Sano - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2012 - Springer
We provide a comprehensive report on scale-invariant fluctuations of growing interfaces in
liquid-crystal turbulence, for which we recently found evidence that they belong to the Kardar …

Single-big-jump principle in physical modeling

A Vezzani, E Barkai, R Burioni - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
The big-jump principle is a well-established mathematical result for sums of independent
and identically distributed random variables extracted from a fat-tailed distribution. It states …

Statistics of intermittent granular flow from confined tabletop experiments

A Petri - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2024 - Springer
It is often said that “granular matter is ubiquitous”. Many natural components and human
products look and behave like grains: stones, debris, soils, on the one hand; food …

Reinterpreting the development of extensive air showers initiated by nuclei and photons

M De Domenico, M Settimo, S Riggi… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interacting with the atmosphere generate
extensive air showers (EAS) of secondary particles. The depth corresponding to the …

Universal protein fluctuations in populations of microorganisms

H Salman, N Brenner, C Tung, N Elyahu, E Stolovicki… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
The copy number of any protein fluctuates among cells in a population; characterizing and
understanding these fluctuations is a fundamental problem in biophysics. We show here that …

Universal fluctuations and extreme statistics of avalanches near the depinning transition

M LeBlanc, L Angheluta, K Dahmen… - Physical Review E …, 2013 - APS
We derive exact predictions for universal scaling exponents and scaling functions
associated with the statistics of maximum velocities vm during avalanches described by the …

[PDF][PDF] Extreme statistics may govern avalanche-type biological reactions: Comment on “Redundancy principle and the role of extreme statistics in molecular and …

DA Rusakov, LP Savtchenko - Physics of life reviews, 2019 - discovery.ucl.ac.uk
In many biological systems, a chemical or physiological reaction can be triggered in full by a
singular event when a motile agent, be it a diffusing molecule or a swimming cell, reaches …

Numerical convergence of the block-maxima approach to the generalized extreme value distribution

D Faranda, V Lucarini, G Turchetti, S Vaienti - Journal of statistical physics, 2011 - Springer
In this paper we perform an analytical and numerical study of Extreme Value distributions in
discrete dynamical systems. In this setting, recent works have shown how to get a statistics …
