Single integro-differential wave equation for L\'evy walk
The integro-differential wave equation for the probability density function
for a classical one-dimensional L\'evy walk with continuous sample paths has
been derived. This equation involves a classical wave operator together with
memory integrals describing the spatio-temporal coupling of the L\'evy walk. It
is valid for any running time PDF and it does not involve any long-time
large-scale approximations. It generalizes the well-known telegraph equation
obtained from the persistent random walk. Several non-Markovian cases are
considered when the particle's velocity alternates at the gamma and power-law
distributed random times.Comment: 5 page
Quantum regime of laser-matter interactions at extreme intensities
A survey of physical parameters and of a ladder of various regimes of
laser-matter interactions at extreme intensities is given. Special emphases is
made on three selected topics: (i) qualitative derivation of the scalings for
probability rates of the basic processes; (ii) self-sustained cascades (which
may dominate at the intensity levels attainable with next generation laser
facilities); and (iii) possibility of breaking down the Intense Field QED
approach for ultrarelativistic electrons and high-energy photons at certain
intensity level.Comment: To be published in the Proceedings of the Summer School "Quantum

Nonlinear subdiffusive fractional equations and aggregation phenomenon
In this article we address the problem of the nonlinear interaction of
subdiffusive particles. We introduce the random walk model in which statistical
characteristics of a random walker such as escape rate and jump distribution
depend on the mean field density of particles. We derive a set of nonlinear
subdiffusive fractional master equations and consider their diffusion
approximations. We show that these equations describe the transition from an
intermediate subdiffusive regime to asymptotically normal advection-diffusion
transport regime. This transition is governed by nonlinear tempering parameter
that generalizes the standard linear tempering. We illustrate the general
results through the use of the examples from cell and population biology. We
find that a nonuniform anomalous exponent has a strong influence on the
aggregation phenomenon.Comment: 10 page
Sub-diffusion in External Potential: Anomalous hiding behind Normal
We propose a model of sub-diffusion in which an external force is acting on a
particle at all times not only at the moment of jump. The implication of this
assumption is the dependence of the random trapping time on the force with the
dramatic change of particles behavior compared to the standard continuous time
random walk model. Constant force leads to the transition from non-ergodic
sub-diffusion to seemingly ergodic diffusive behavior. However, we show it
remains anomalous in a sense that the diffusion coefficient depends on the
force and the anomalous exponent. For the quadratic potential we find that the
anomalous exponent defines not only the speed of convergence but also the
stationary distribution which is different from standard Boltzmann equilibrium.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
An exact renormalization formula for Gaussian exponential sums and applications
In the present paper, we derive a renormalization formula "\`a la
Hardy-Littlewood" for the Gaussian exponential sums with an exact formula for
the remainder term. We use this formula to describe the typical growth of the
Gaussian exponential sums
Stochastic arbitrage return and its implications for option pricing
The purpose of this work is to explore the role that arbitrage opportunities
play in pricing financial derivatives. We use a non-equilibrium model to set up
a stochastic portfolio, and for the random arbitrage return, we choose a
stationary ergodic random process rapidly varying in time. We exploit the fact
that option price and random arbitrage returns change on different time scales
which allows us to develop an asymptotic pricing theory involving the central
limit theorem for random processes. We restrict ourselves to finding pricing
bands for options rather than exact prices. The resulting pricing bands are
shown to be independent of the detailed statistical characteristics of the
arbitrage return. We find that the volatility "smile" can also be explained in
terms of random arbitrage opportunities.Comment: 14 pages, 3 fiqure
REMOTE-SENSING METHODS OF INDICATOR ESTIMATIONS OF GARDENING TERRITORIES PLACED BY MINING INDUSTRY WASTE
Today across the world there are huge areas that are occupied by badlands left after
intensive mining. Breeding dumps, sludge dumps, places of storage of ash and slag often represent a
biological desert, which is difficult to remediate. For example, such places are sulfur rock dumps of
mines in Donbas as a result of insufficient mineral nutrition and high acidity with sulfur
concentration. Such zones show a low rate of self-growth and gardening. Mining wastes that
accumulated for many years contain toxic components that are priority sources of environmental
pollution
