Calculating the mean exit time (MET) for models of diffusion is a classical problem in statistical physics, with various applications in biophysics, economics and heat and mass transfer. While many exact results for MET are known for diffusion in simple geometries involving homogeneous materials, calculating MET for diffusion in realistic geometries involving heterogeneous materials is typically limited to repeated stochastic simulations or numerical solutions of the associated boundary value problem (BVP). In this work we derive exact solutions for the MET in irregular annular domains, including some applications where diffusion occurs in heterogenous media. These solutions are obtained by taking the exact results for MET in an annulus, and then constructing various perturbation solutions to account for the irregular geometries involved. These solutions, with a range of boundary conditions, are implemented symbolically and compare very well with averaged data from repeated stochastic simulations and with numerical solutions of the associated BVP. Software to implement the exact solutions is available on $href{https://github.com/ProfMJSimpson/Exit_time}{text{GitHub}}$.

Motivated by the existing difficulties in establishing mathematical models and in observing the system state time series for some complex systems, especially for those driven by non-Gaussian Levy motion, we devise a method for extracting non-Gaussian
governing laws with observations only on mean exit time. It is feasible to observe mean exit time for certain complex systems. With the observations, a sparse regression technique in the least squares sense is utilized to obtain the approximated function expression of mean exit time. Then, we learn the generator and further identify the stochastic differential equations through solving an inverse problem for a nonlocal partial differential equation and minimizing an error objective function. Finally, we verify the efficacy of the proposed method by three examples with the aid of the simulated data from the original systems. Results show that the method can apply to not only the stochastic dynamical systems driven by Gaussian Brownian motion but also those driven by non-Gaussian Levy motion, including those systems with complex rational drift.
Based on Markvorsen and Palmers work on mean time exit and isoperimetric inequalities we establish slightly better isoperimetric inequalities and mean time exit estimates for minimal submanifolds of $Ntimesmathbb{R}$. We also prove isoperimetric ineq
ualities for submanifolds of Hadamard spaces with tamed second fundamental form.
Imbibition is a commonly encountered multiphase problem in various fields, and exact prediction of imbibition processes is a key issue for better understanding capillary flow in heterogeneous porous media. In this work, a numerical framework for desc
ribing imbibition processes in porous media with material heterogeneity is proposed to track the moving wetting front with the help of a partially saturated region at the front vicinity. A new interface treatment, named the interface integral method, is developed here, combined with which the proposed numerical model provides a complete framework for imbibition problems. After validation of the current model with existing experimental results of one-dimensional imbibition, simulations on a series of two-dimensional cases are analysed with the presences of multiple porous phases. The simulations presented here not only demonstrate the suitability of the numerical framework on complex domains but also present its feasibility and potential for further engineering applications involving imbibition in heterogeneous media.
The damage and fracture of materials are technologically of enormous interest due to their economic and human cost. They cover a wide range of phenomena like e.g. cracking of glass, aging of concrete, the failure of fiber networks in the formation of
paper and the breaking of a metal bar subject to an external load. Failure of composite systems is of utmost importance in naval, aeronautics and space industry. By the term composite, we refer to materials with heterogeneous microscopic structures and also to assemblages of macroscopic elements forming a super-structure. Chemical and nuclear plants suffer from cracking due to corrosion either of chemical or radioactive origin, aided by thermal and/or mechanical stress. Despite the large amount of experimental data and the considerable effort that has been undertaken by material scientists, many questions about fracture have not been answered yet. There is no comprehensive understanding of rupture phenomena but only a partial classification in restricted and relatively simple situations. This lack of fundamental understanding is indeed reflected in the absence of reliable prediction methods for rupture, based on a suitable monitoring of the stressed system. Not only is there a lack of non-empirical understanding of the reliability of a system, but also the empirical laws themselves have often limited value. The difficulties stem from the complex interplay between heterogeneities and modes of damage and the possible existence of a hierarchy of characteristic scales (static and dynamic). The paper presents a review of recent efforts from the statistical physics community to address these points.
The exponent of anomalous diffusion of virus in cytoplasm of a living cell is experimentally known to fluctuate depending on localized areas of the cytoplasm, indicating heterogeneity of diffusion. In a recent paper (Itto, 2012), a maximum-entropy-pr
inciple approach has been developed in order to propose an Ansatz for the statistical distribution of such exponent fluctuations. Based on this approach, here the deviation of the statistical distribution of the fluctuations from the proposed one is studied from the viewpoint of Einsteins theory of fluctuations (of the thermodynamic quantities). This may present a step toward understanding the statistical property of the deviation. It is shown in a certain class of small deviations that the deviation obeys the multivariate Gaussian distribution.
