Metastability between the clicks of Muller’s ratchet
Probability Theory and Related Fields. 2025. Vol. 192. P. 721–802.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of a quasi-stationary distribution for three stochastic processes derived from the model of Muller’s ratchet. This model was invented with the aim of evaluating the limitations of an asexual reproduction mode in preventing the accumulation of deleterious mutations through natural selection alone. The main considered model is non-classical, as it is a stochastic diffusion evolving on an irregular set of infinite dimension with hard killing on a hyperplane. We are nonetheless able to prove exponential convergence in total variation to the quasi-stationary distribution even in this case. The parameters in this last convergence result are directly related to the core parameters of Muller’s ratchet. The speed of convergence to the quasi-stationary distribution is deduced both for the infinite dimensional model and for approximations with a large yet finite number of potential mutations. Likewise, we give uniform moment estimates of the empirical distribution of mutations in the population under quasi-stationarity.

We provide four equivalent combinatorial conditions for a simple assembly graph (rigid vertex graph where all vertices are of degree 1 or 4) to have the largest number of Hamiltonian sets of polygonal paths relative to its size. These conditions serve to prove the conjecture that such a maximum, which is equal to 𝐹_(2𝑛+1) −1, ...

In this paper, we construct a weighted Sobolev space of fractional order based on the
generalized Bessel potential.We apply these results to the analysis of the singular fractional Schr¨odinger
equation. To solve the Cauchy problem for this equation, we prove an estimate that relates the norm of
the solution to the norm of the initial condition in the ...

This article demonstrates that the Laplace–Bessel operator generates a strongly continuous
semigroup on a weighted Lebesgue space. Using this semigroup, we define the fractional Laplace–
Bessel operator via Balakrishnan’s formula. Furthermore, we derive three distinct representations for
fractional powers of the negative Laplace–Bessel operator. ...

In this paper, we introduce a new construction of fractional derivatives and integrals
with respect to a function, based on a matrix approach. We believe that this is a powerful
tool in both analytical and numerical calculations.We begin with the differential
operator with respect to a function that generates a semigroup. By discretizing this
operator, we obtain a matrix ...

We prove that an analogue of Rogers’ theorem on sieving holds for an order if and only if the order is a Dedekind domain. We also prove that it holds for a finite commutative ring if and only if the ring is a direct product of local rings with linearly ordered ideals. ...

We consider a class of Boolean algebras formed by intersections of regular languages with
a given language. In the case where such an algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of regular languages,
we prove the existence of an isomorphism that is computable using oracles for the regular realizability
problem and the infinite regular realizability problem. This result yields ...

We investigate how stochastic Poisson impulsive forcing influences the spatiotemporal dynamics of a two-dimensional network of Hindmarsh–Rose neurons. Unlike continuous noise, impulsive forcing introduces discrete, state-dependent perturbations, making the system response highly sensitive to both the statistics and the spatial structure of the input. In most of the parameter space, stochastic impulses destabilize the initial ...

A collection of miscellaneous continuous, semi-discrete, and discrete integrable

Smooth principal bundles whose total spaces and bases are time oriented Lorentzian manifolds and whose projections are Lorentzian submersions preserving time orientations are studied. Previously, the authors showed that the chronologicity, causality, and stable causality always lift from the base to the space of a Lorentzian bundle. For strong causality and global hyperbolicity, this holds ...

We present a method of finding non-Liouvillian first integrals of rational two-dimensional differential systems. The method is based on the existence of two independent invariants that satisfy a linear second-order ordinary differential equation with respect to one of the variables. We call systems with this property R-integrable. These invariants are not necessarily polynomial; they can ...

The paper provides a generalization of the local limit theorem on the convergence
of inhomogeneous Markov chains to the diffusion limit for the case in which the corresponding
coefficients of the process satisfy weak regularity conditions and coincide only asymptotically.
In particular, the drift coefficients under consideration can be unbounded with at most linear
growth, and the bounds reflect ...

We investigate a special ansats that allows for an iterative solution of the constant Yang-Baxter equation. Testing this ansatz, we construct four sequences of the constant R-matrices. In each sequence the R-matrices act on the tensor squares of vector spaces of linearly growing dimensions. Each R-matrix also depends on a single complex parameter.

Both Markovian and arbitrary residence time distributions are considered. The comparison of analytical predictions with the case of a time-decorrelated process shows that correlations can both decrease and increase the corresponding expected waiting time. Besides, the comparison of exponential, subexponential, and heavy-tailed models characterized by equal probabilities to observe the event of interest demonstrates that ...

As has long been known to computer scientists, the performance of probabilistic algorithms characterized by relatively large runtime fluctuations can be improved by applying a restart, i.e., episodic interruption of a randomized computational procedure followed by initialization of its new statistically independent realization. A similar effect of restart-induced process acceleration could potentially be possible in ...
