Results are provided that highlight the effect of interfacial discontinuities in the
diffusion coefficient on the behavior of certain basic functionals of the diffusion, such
as local times and occupation times, extending previous results in [2, 3] on the behavior
of first passage times. The main goal is to obtain...
The fate of biologically available nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in stream ecosystems is controlled by the coupling of physical transport and biogeochemical reaction kinetics. However, determining the relative role of physical and biogeochemical controls at different temporal and spatial scales is difficult. The hyporheic zone (HZ), where groundwater–stream water...
Advective skew dispersion is a natural Markov process defined ned
by a di ffusion with drift across an interface of jump discontinuity in
a piecewise constant diff usion coeffcient. In the absence of drift this
process may be represented as a function of -skew Brownian motion
for a uniquely determined...
