Branching processes in random environments constitute a significant class of stochastic models designed to capture the interplay between intrinsic reproductive dynamics and extrinsic environmental ...

Tiny particles like pollen grains move constantly, pushed and pulled by environmental forces. To study this motion, physicists use a “random walk” model — a system in which every step is determined by ...

Random walks constitute a foundational concept in probability theory, describing the seemingly erratic movement of particles or agents as they traverse a space in a series of stochastic steps. In many ...

A mathematician who developed formulas to make random processes more predictable and helped to solve an iconic model of complex phenomena has won the 2024 Abel Prize, one of the field’s most coveted ...

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones must find a secret chamber that contains the legendary Ark of the Covenant. To identify its exact location, Indy must uncover a special map that’s only ...
