We isolate a general condition, that we call "localization principle", on the integrand L:\MM\to[0,\infty], assumed to be continuous, under which W^{1,q}-quasiconvexity with q\in[1,\infty] is a sufficient condition for I(u)=\int_\Omega…
We introduce the notion of \emph{localization at the boundary} for conditioned random walks in i.i.d. and uniformly elliptic random environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions two and higher. Informally, this means that the walk spends a…
We study the competition between random multiplicative growth and redistribution/migration in the mean-field limit, when the number of sites is very large but finite. We find that for static random growth rates, migration should be strong…
Numerical simulations of thin sheets undergoing large deformations are computationally challenging. Depending on the scenario, they may spontaneously buckle, wrinkle, fold, or crumple. Nature's thin tissues often experience significant…
We study models of continuous time, symmetric, $\Z^d$-valued random walks in random environments. One of our aims is to derive estimates on the decay of transition probabilities in a case where a uniform ellipticity assumption is absent. We…
We proposed a probabilistic algorithm to solve the Multiple Sequence Alignment problem. The algorithm is a Simulated Annealing (SA) that exploits the representation of the Multiple Alignment between $D$ sequences as a directed polymer in…
We consider the phenomenon of condensation of a globally conserved quantity $H=\sum_{i=1}^N \epsilon_i$ distributed on $N$ sites, occurring when the density $h= H/N$ exceeds a critical density $h_c$. We numerically study the dependence of…
A limited mobility nonequilibrium solid-on-solid dynamical model for kinetic surface growth is introduced as a simple description for the morphological evolution of a growing interface under random vapor deposition and surface diffusion…
Finite element based simulation of phenomena governed by partial differential equations is a standard tool in many engineering workflows today. However, the simulation of complex geometries is computationally expensive. Many engineering…
Localized deformation patterns are a common motif in morphogenesis and are increasingly finding widespread applications in materials science, for instance as memory devices. Here we describe the emergence of spatially localized deformations…
We construct a flow of continuous time and discrete state branching processes. Some scaling limit theorems for the flow are proved, which lead to the path-valued branching processes and nonlocal branching superprocesses over the positive…
The standard quantum annealing algorithm tries to approach the ground state of a classical system by slowly decreasing the hopping rates of a quantum random walk in the configuration space of the problem, where the on-site energies are…
In this paper, we prove quantum ergodicity (a form of delocalization for eigenfunctions) for the Dirichlet truncations of the adjacency matrix on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We also extend the result to the cases of finite range observables and…
We study the Activated Random Walk model on the one-dimensional ring, in the high density regime. We develop a toppling procedure that gradually builds an environment that can be used to show that activity will be sustained for a long time.…
I describe how real quantum annealers may be used to perform local (in state space) searches around specified states, rather than the global searches traditionally implemented in the quantum annealing algorithm. The quantum annealing…
We consider the simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ evolving in a random i.i.d. potential taking values in $[0,+\infty)$. The potential is not assumed integrable, and can be rescaled by a multiplicative factor $\lambda > 0$. Completing the…
In this manuscript we investigate the regularization of solutions for the spatially homogeneous Landau equation. For moderately soft potentials, it is shown that weak solutions become smooth instantaneously and stay so over all times, and…
We study various annealing dynamics, both classical and quantum, for simple mean-field models and explain how to describe their behavior in the thermodynamic limit in terms of differential equations. In particular we emphasize the…
A new, fully-localised, energy growth optimal is found over large times and in long pipe domains at a given mass flow rate. This optimal emerges at a threshold disturbance energy below which a nonlinear version of the known…
We investigate the statistics of eigenstates in a weak self-affine disordered potential in one dimension, whose Gaussian fluctuations grow with distance with a positive Hurst exponent $H$. Typical eigenstates are superlocalized on samples…
