Data assimilation models for computing probability distributions of complex multiscale systems
Journal Article Journal of Computational Physics · January 15, 2026 We introduce a data assimilation strategy aimed at accurately capturing key non-Gaussian structures in probability distributions using a small ensemble size. A major challenge in statistical forecasting of nonlinearly coupled multiscale systems is mitigati ... Full text CiteEquilibrium correction iteration for a class of mean-field game inverse problems
Journal Article Inverse Problems · December 31, 2025 AbstractThis work investigates the ambient potential identification problem in inverse mean-field games (MFGs), where the goal is to recover the unknown potential from the value function at equilibrium. W ... Full text CiteCoupled stochastic-statistical equations for filtering multiscale turbulent systems
Journal Article Physica D Nonlinear Phenomena · December 1, 2025 We present a new strategy for the statistical forecasts of multiscale nonlinear systems involving non-Gaussian probability distributions with the help of observation data from leading-order moments. A stochastic-statistical modeling framework is designed t ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
