A large deviation principle is established for a general class of stochastic flows in the small noise limit. This result is then applied to a Bayesian formulation of an image matching problem, and an approximate maximum likelihood property…

A Markov network characterizes the conditional independence structure, or Markov property, among a set of random variables. Existing work focuses on specific families of distributions (e.g., exponential families) and/or certain structures…

A graphon is a limiting object used to describe the behaviour of large networks through a function that captures the probability of edge formation between nodes. Although the merits of graphons to describe large and unlabelled networks are…

Extensive time-series encoding the position of particles such as viruses, vesicles, or individual proteins are routinely garnered in single-particle tracking experiments or supercomputing studies. They contain vital clues on how viruses…

Motivated by the occurrence in rate functions of time-dependent large-deviation principles, we study a class of non-negative functions $\mathscr L$ that induce a flow, given by $\mathscr L(\rho_t,\dot\rho_t)=0$. We derive necessary and…

We study the emergence of a giant component in a spatial network where the distribution of the metric distances between the nodes is scale-invariant, and the interaction between the nodes has a long-range power-law behavior. The nodes are…

The Whittaker 2d growth model is a triangular continuous Markov diffusion process that appears in many scientific contexts. It has been theoretically intriguing to establish a large deviation principle for this 2d process with a scaling…
