Extreme events in computational turbulence [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015 Significance In the last decade or so, massive computations of turbulence performed by solving the exact equations of hydrodynamic turbulence have provided new quantitative data and enhanced our understanding. This paper presents results from the largest such computations, to date, devoted to the study of small ...

Extreme events of Markov chains [PDF]
Advances in Applied Probability, 2017 AbstractThe extremal behaviour of a Markov chain is typically characterised by its tail chain. For asymptotically dependent Markov chains, existing formulations fail to capture the full evolution of the extreme event when the chain moves out of the extreme tail region, and, for asymptotically independent chains, recent results fail to cover well-known ...
