Mit diesen Worten beginnt eines der ber{\"u}hmtesten mathematischen Manuskripte des letzten Jahrhunderts. Es stammt vom Soldaten Wolfgang D{\"o}blin, Sohn des deutschen Schriftstellers Alfred D{\"o}blin, und tr{\"a}gt den Titel "Sur l'equation de Kolmogoroff". Seine Ver{\"o}ffentlichung verbindet sich mit einer unglaublichen Geschichte. Wolfgang D{\"o}blin, stationiert mit seiner Einheit in den Ardennen im Winter 1939/1940, arbeitete an diesem Manuskript. Er entschloss sich, es als versiegeltes Manuskript an die Academie des Sciences in Paris zu schicken. Aber er kehrte nie aus diesem Krieg zur{\"u}ck. Sein Manuskript blieb 60 Jahre unter Verschluss im Archiv, und wurde erst im Jahre 2000 ge{\"o}ffnet. Wie weit D{\"o}blin damit seiner Zeit voraus war, wurde erkannt, nachdem es von Bernard Bru und Marc Yor ausgewertet worden war. Im ersten Satz umschreibt W. D{\"o}blin gleichzeitig das Programm des Manuskripts: "Wir betrachten ein bewegliches Teilchen, das sich zuf{\"a}llig auf der Geraden (oder einem Teil davon) bewegt." Er widmet sich damit der Aufgabe, die Fundamente eines Gebiets zu legen, das wir heute als stochastische Analysis bezeichnen.}, language = {de} } @misc{GoychukKharchenko2013, author = {Goychuk, Igor and Kharchenko, Vasyl O.}, title = {Rocking subdiffusive ratchets}, series = {Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena}, journal = {Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena}, number = {622}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.1051/mmnp/20138210}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-416138}, pages = {15}, year = {2013}, abstract = {We study origin, parameter optimization, and thermodynamic efficiency of isothermal rocking ratchets based on fractional subdiffusion within a generalized non-Markovian Langevin equation approach. A corresponding multi-dimensional Markovian embedding dynamics is realized using a set of auxiliary Brownian particles elastically coupled to the central Brownian particle (see video on the journal web site). We show that anomalous subdiffusive transport emerges due to an interplay of nonlinear response and viscoelastic effects for fractional Brownian motion in periodic potentials with broken space-inversion symmetry and driven by a time-periodic field. The anomalous transport becomes optimal for a subthreshold driving when the driving period matches a characteristic time scale of interwell transitions. It can also be optimized by varying temperature, amplitude of periodic potential and driving strength. The useful work done against a load shows a parabolic dependence on the load strength. It grows sublinearly with time and the corresponding thermodynamic efficiency decays algebraically in time because the energy supplied by the driving field scales with time linearly. However, it compares well with the efficiency of normal diffusion rocking ratchets on an appreciably long time scale.}, language = {en} } @misc{GinouxHabib2008, author = {Ginoux, Nicolas and Habib, Georges}, title = {Geometric aspects of transversal Killing spinors on Riemannian flows}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {867}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43478}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-434783}, pages = {69 -- 90}, year = {2008}, abstract = {We study a Killing spinor type equation on spin Riemannian flows.

Knowledge of these symmetry groups allows us to define mappings of special democratic p-forms in d dimensions to special democratic P-forms in D dimensions for successively higher P = p and D = d. In particular, we display a remarkable nested structure of special forms including a U(3)-invariant 2-form in six dimensions, a G2-invariant 3-form in seven dimensions, a Spin(7)-invariant 4-form in eight dimensions and a special democratic 6-form O in ten dimensions. The latter has the remarkable property that its contraction with one of five distinct bivectors, yields, in the orthogonal eight dimensions, the Spin(7)-invariant 4-form. We discuss various properties of this ten dimensional form.}, language = {en} } @misc{DaiPraLouisMinelli2006, author = {Dai Pra, Paolo and Louis, Pierre-Yves and Minelli, Ida}, title = {Monotonicity and complete monotonicity for continuous-time Markov chains}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-7665}, year = {2006}, abstract = {We analyze the notions of monotonicity and complete monotonicity for Markov Chains in continuous-time, taking values in a finite partially ordered set.

We discuss the time evolution of the number of surface-bound particles, the effective surface mean squared displacement, and the surface propagator. In particular, we observe sub- and superdiffusive regimes. A plateau of the surface mean-squared displacement reflects a stalling of the surface diffusion at longer times.

Several results on the long time behavior of the conditioned mass process - the conditioned multitype Feller branching diffusion - are then proved.
