We consider a recursive system which was introduced by Derrida and Retaux (J. Stat. Phys. ${\bf 156}$ (2014) 268-290) as a toy model to study the depinning transition in presence of disorder. Derrida and Retaux predicted the free energy…
We are interested in the nearly supercritical regime in a family of max-type recursive models studied by Collet, Eckman, Glaser and Martin and by Derrida and Retaux, and prove that under a suitable integrability assumption on the initial…
We are interested in a simple max-type recursive model studied by Derrida and Retaux (2014) in the context of a physics problem, and find a wide range for the exponent in the free energy in the nearly supercritical regime.
To study the depinning transition in the limit of strong disorder, Derrida and Retaux (2014) introduced a discrete-time max-type recursive model. It is believed that for a large class of recursive models, including Derrida and Retaux'…
We consider a generalized Derrida-Retaux model on a Galton-Watson tree with a geometric offspring distribution. For a class of recursive systems, including the Derrida-Retaux model with either a geometric or exponential initial…
We give characterizations of the transition semigroup and generator of a continuous-time Derrida--Retaux type process that generalizes the one introduced by Hu, Mallein and Pain (Commun. Math. Phys., 2020). It is shown that the process…
The article considers the Derrida-Retaux model with a random number of terms, i.e. a sequence of integer random variables defined by the relations $ X_{n + 1} = (X_n^{(1)} + X_n^{(2)} + ... + X_n^{(N_n)} - a)^{+}$, $n\ge 0$, where $X_n^{j}$…
We review recent results and conjectures for a simplified version of the depinning problem in presence of disorder which was introduced by Derrida and Retaux in 2014. For this toy model, the depinning transition has been predicted to be of…
We study the max-type recursive model introduced by Hu and Shi (J. Stat. Phys., 2018), which generalizes the model of Derrida and Retaux (J. Stat. Phys., 2014). The class of geometric-type marginal distributions is preserved by the model…
The raise of the symmetry breaking mechanism by Landau[1] is a landmark in the studies of phase transitions. The Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition[2-3] and the fractional quantum Hall effect[4], however, are believed to be induced by…
We consider a simple max-type recursive model which was introduced in the study of depinning transition in presence of strong disorder, by Derrida and Retaux. Our interest is focused on the critical regime, for which we study the extinction…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism, in which a phase transition is mediated by the proliferation of topological defects, governs the critical behaviour of a wide range of equilibrium two-dimensional systems with a continuous…
Systems undergoing an equilibrium phase transition from a liquid state to an amorphous solid state exhibit certain universal characteristics. Chief among these are the fraction of particles that are randomly localized and the scaling…
The transient network model of Green-Tobolsky [1946], Yamamoto [1956] and Tanaka-Edwards [1992] is formulated within the frame of thermodynamics of irreversible processes, using as a fundamental quantity the chemical potential associated to…
A direct data-driven iterative algorithm is developed to accurately estimate the $H_\infty$ norm of a linear time-invariant system from continuous operation, i.e., without resetting the system. The main technical step involves a…

The transformation of the free-energy landscape from smooth to hierarchical is one of the richest features of mean-field disordered systems. A well-studied example is the de Almeida-Thouless transition for spin glasses in a magnetic field,…
