Noise-induced escape from metastable states governs a plethora of transition phenomena in physics, chemistry, and biology. While the escape problem in the presence of thermal Gaussian noise has been well understood since the seminal works of Arrhenius and Kramers, many systems, in particular living ones, are effectively driven by non-Gaussian noise for which the conventional theory does not apply. Here we present a theoretical framework based on path integrals that allows the calculation of both escape rates and optimal escape paths for a generic class of non-Gaussian noises. We find that non-Gaussian noise always leads to more efficient escape and can enhance escape rates by many orders of magnitude compared with thermal noise, highlighting that away from equilibrium escape rates cannot be reliably modelled based on the traditional Arrhenius-Kramers result. Our analysis also identifies a new universality class of non-Gaussian noises, for which escape paths are dominated by large jumps.

The quadratic cost functions, exemplified by mean-square-error, often exhibit limited robustness and flexibility when confronted with impulsive noise contamination. In contrast, the generalized maximum correntropy (GMC) criterion, serving as a robust nonlinear similarity measure, offers superior performance in such scenarios. In this paper, we develop a recursive constrained adaptive filtering algorithm named recursive generalized maximum correntropy with a forgetting factor (FF-RCGMC).

With the growing size of the system, this distributed Kalman filter (DKF) is widely used in multi-sensor networks. However, it is difficult for DKF to accurately estimate state values in non-Gaussian noise environments. In this paper, a regression equation is first constructed to contain all sensor node information.

Dirac fluids-interacting systems obeying particle-hole symmetry and Lorentz invariance-are among the simplest hydrodynamic systems; they have also been studied as effective descriptions of transport in strongly interacting Dirac semimetals. Direct experimental signatures of the Dirac fluid are elusive, as its charge transport is diffusive as in conventional metals. In this paper, we point out a striking consequence of fluctuating relativistic hydrodynamics: The full counting statistics (FCS) of charge transport is highly non-Gaussian.

Article Synopsis
- Gyros/star sensor integration aims to improve spatial orientation accuracy for turntable structures but struggles with accuracy loss from non-Gaussian measurement noise in complex environments.
- A new event-driven maximum correntropy filter using a Cauchy kernel is proposed to mitigate the impact of this noise, enhancing the stability and robustness of the sensor integration.
- The method has been validated through simulations, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing computational costs while maintaining high performance for real-time spatial applications.
Speckle noise, mechano-physical noise, and environmental noise are inevitably introduced in digital holographic coherent imaging, which seriously affects the quality of phase maps, and the removal of non-Gaussian statistical noise represented by speckle noise has been a challenging problem. In the past few years, deep learning methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made good progress in removing Gaussian noise. However, they tend to fail when these deep networks designed for Gaussian noise removal are used to remove speckle noise.
