We consider the phase transition in the system of n simultaneously developing random walks on the halfline x>=0. All walks are independent on each others in all points except the origin x=0, where the point well is located. The well depth…
We study the directed polymer model in a bounded environment with bond disorder and show that, in the interior of the weak disorder phase, weak disorder continues to hold upon perturbation by a small bias. Using this stability result, we…
