We provide upper bounds on the perturbation of invariant subspaces of normal matrices measured using a metric on the space of vector subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^n$ in terms of the spectrum of both the unperturbed \& perturbed matrices, as well…
We study numerically the depinning transition of driven elastic interfaces in a random-periodic medium with localized periodic-correlation peaks in the direction of motion. The analysis of the moving interface geometry reveals the existence…
We consider a class of mean field games in which the agents interact through both their states and controls, and we focus on situations in which a generic agent tries to adjust her speed (control) to an average speed (the average is made in…
The large amounts of data from molecular biology and neuroscience have lead to a renewed interest in the inverse Ising problem: how to reconstruct parameters of the Ising model (couplings between spins and external fields) from a number of…
We consider first order perturbation theory for a non-minimally coupled inflaton field without assuming an adiabatic equation of state. In general perturbations in non-minimally coupled theory may be non-adiabatic. However under the…
We present a mean-field theory for the dynamics of driven flow with exclusion in graphenelike structures, and numerically check its predictions. We treat first a specific combination of bond transmissivity rates, where mean field predicts,…
This paper addresses distributed average tracking of physical second-order agents with nonlinear dynamics, where the interaction among the agents is described by an undirected graph. In both agents' and reference inputs' dynamics, there is…
It is known that on directed graphs, the correlations between neighbours of a given site vanish and thus simple mean-field-like arguments can be used to describe exactly the behaviour of Ising-like systems. We analyse heterogeneous…
The Principle of Perturbative Agreement, as introduced by Hollands & Wald, is a renormalisation condition in quantum field theory on curved spacetimes. This principle states that the perturbative and exact constructions of a field theoretic…
Most of our current understanding of phase separation is based on ideas that disregard correlaions. Here we illuminate unexpected effects of correlations on the structure and thermodynamics of interfaces and in turn phase separation, which…

Diffusion is a key element of a large set of phenomena occurring on natural and social systems modeled in terms of complex weighted networks. Here, we introduce a general formalism that allows to easily write down mean-field equations for…
This paper introduces and analyzes a new class of mean-field control (\textsc{MFC}) problems in which agents interact through a \emph{fixed but controllable} network structure. In contrast with the classical \textsc{MFC} framework -- where…
In this paper, we show that the quasi-one-dimensional flow of an ideal inviscid fluid in a corrugated pipe is parametrically unstable in certain frequency bands. First-order perturbation theory is used to analyze the stability of the flow,…
