We study a one-dimensional contact process with two infection parameters, one giving the infection rates at the boundaries of a finite infected region and the other one the rates within that region. We prove that the critical value of each…
We prove that deterministic motion in dissipative systems emerges as a strict geometric attractor of contact flow, not a statistical approximation. Building on the contact geometry of stochastic vector bundles, we develop time-dependent…
We study the annihilating random walk with long-range interaction in one dimension. Each particle performs random walks on a one-dimensional ring in such a way that the probability of hopping toward the nearest particle is $W= [1 - \epsilon…
Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…
We often rely on probabilistic measures -- e.g. event probability or expected time -- to characterize systems' safety. However, determining these quantities for extremely low-probability events is generally challenging, as standard safety…
We consider a general system of n noninteracting identical particles which evolve under a given dynamical law and whose initial microstates are a priori independent. The time evolution of the n-particle average of a bounded function on the…
Contact processes describe the transmission of distinct properties of nodes via the links of a network. They provide a simple framework for many phenomena, such as epidemic spreading and opinion formation. Combining contact processes with…
We investigate certain large deviation asymptotics concerning random interlacements in Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. We find the principal exponential rate of decay for the probability that the average value of some suitable non-decreasing…
We consider the contact process on a random graph with fixed degree distribution given by a power law. We follow the work of Chatterjee and Durrett, who showed that for arbitrarily small infection parameter $\lambda$, the survival time of…
Let $h(d)$ be the class number of indefinite binary quadratic forms of discriminant $d$, and let $\varepsilon_d$ be the corresponding fundamental unit. In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the $k$-th moment of $h(d)$ over…
We consider a sequence of processes defined on half-line for all non negative t. We give sufficient conditions for Large Deviation Principle (LDP) to hold in the space of continuous functions with a new metric that is more sensitive to…
We introduce the headway exclusion process which is an exclusion process with $N$ particles on the one-dimensional discrete torus with $L$ sites with jump rates that depend only on the distance to the next particle in the direction of the…
We consider a coupled system of two singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equations, with two small parameters $0< \epsilon \le \mu \le 1$, each multiplying the highest derivative in the equations. The presence of these parameters causes…
Integrated task and motion planning problems describe a multi-modal state space, which is often abstracted as a set of smooth manifolds that are connected via sets of transitions states. One approach to solving such problems is to sample…
Amorphous systems of soft particles above jamming have more contacts than are needed to achieve mechanical equilibrium. The force network of a granular system with a fixed contact network is thus underdetermined, and can be characterized as…
This paper studies large deviations of a ``fully coupled" finite state mean-field interacting particle system in a fast varying environment. The empirical measure of the particles evolves in the slow time scale and the random environment…
Identification-robust hypothesis tests are commonly based on the continuous updating GMM objective function. When the number of moment conditions grows proportionally with the sample size, the large-dimensional weighting matrix prohibits…
We consider the contact process near an extended surface defect, where the local control parameter deviates from the bulk one by an amount of $\lambda(l)-\lambda(\infty) = A l^{-s}$, $l$ being the distance from the surface. We concentrate…
In this paper we introduce a contact process on a dynamical long range percolation (CPDLP) defined on a complete graph $(V,\mathcal{E})$. A dynamical long range percolation is a Feller process defined on the edge set $\mathcal{E}$, which…
Let $X$ be a L\'evy process with regularly varying L\'evy measure $\nu$. We obtain sample-path large deviations for scaled processes $\bar X_n(t) \triangleq X(nt)/n$ and obtain a similar result for random walks. Our results yield detailed…
