We discuss variational formulas for the limits of certain models of motion in a random medium: namely, the limiting time constant for last-passage percolation and the limiting free energy for directed polymers. The results are valid for…

On the $Z^2$ lattice, vertices are assigned random weights $W(i,j)$. The point-to-point last passage percolation (LPP) time $S_{M,N+1-M}$ between $(1,1)$ and $(M,N+1-M)$ is the maximum total weight among all upward/right-oriented paths…
