A multiplicative noise and an additive noise are introduced in the kinetic model of Smolen–Baxter–Byrne [P. Smolen, D.A. Baxter, J.H. Byrne, Amer. J. Physiol. Cell. Physiol. 274 (1998) 531], in which the expression of gene is controlled by protein concentration of transcriptional activator....

We have studied the finite N-unit Langevin model subjected to multiplicative noises, by using the augmented moment method (AMM), as a continuation of our previous paper [H. Hasegawa, J. Phys. Soc. Japan 75 (2006) 033001]. Effects of couplings on stationary and dynamical properties of the model...

We study a model of a nonlinear oscillator with a random frequency and derive the asymptotic behavior of the probability distribution function when the noise is white. In the small damping limit, we show that the physical observables grow algebraically with time before the dissipative time scale...

We study the long time behaviour of a nonlinear oscillator subject to a random multiplicative noise with a spectral density (or power-spectrum) that decays as a power law at high frequencies. When the dissipation is negligible, physical observables, such as the amplitude, the velocity and the...

The dimensional free Harnack inequality is established for a class of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations in the Hilbert space with multiplicative noise by perturbing the linear term of the equation by a suitable linear operator.

The Euler - Maruyama and Milstein methods are applied to approximate the solution of linearly Langevin equation with multiplicative noise. The exact solution is obtained by applying the Ito's lemma. It is worth mentioning that not always the discretization used to find the solutions of SDEs...

We address the issue of edge detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery. In particular, we propose nonparametric methods for edge detection, and numerically compare them to an alternative method that has been recently proposed in the literature. Our results show that some of the proposed...

We consider the Langevin lattice dynamics for a spontaneously broken λϕ4 scalar field theory where both additive and multiplicative noise terms are incorporated. The lattice renormalization for the corresponding stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Langevin and the subtleties related to the...

We study a generalised model of population growth in which the state variable is population growth rate instead of population size. Stochastic parametric perturbations, modelling phenotypic variability, lead to a Langevin system with two sources of multiplicative noise. The stationary...

We introduce a simple generalization of rational bubble models which removes the fundamental problem discovered by Lux and Sornette (J. Money, Credit and Banking, preprint at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cond-mat/9910141) that the distribution of returns is a power law with exponent <1, in contradiction with empirical data. The idea is that the price fluctuations associated with bubbles must on average grow with the mean market return r. When r is larger than the discount rate rδ, the distribution of returns of the observable price, sum of the bubble component and of the fundamental price, exhibits an intermediate tail with an exponent which can be larger than 1. This regime r>rδ corresponds...</1,>
