We consider branching processes for structured populations: each individual is characterized by a type or trait which belongs to a general measurable state space. We focus on the supercritical recurrent case, where the population may…
In this work, we first focus on the mathematical structure of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model. In the Clifford algebraic representation, many internal factors exist in the transfer matrices of the 3D Ising model, which are ascribed…
In this paper, we investigate the relation between the (fractional) domination number of a digraph $G$ and the independence number of its underlying graph, denoted by $\alpha(G)$. More precisely, we prove that every digraph $G$ has…
We consider inhomogeneous matrix products over max-plus algebra, where the matrices in the product satisfy certain assumptions under which the matrix products of sufficient length be rank-one, as it was shown in [6][L. Shue, B.D.O.…
We study in detail the active Ising model, a stochastic lattice gas where collective motion emerges from the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry. On a 2d lattice, active particles undergo a diffusion biased in one of two possible…
We study invariant measures of continuous contact model in small dimensional spaces ($d =1,2$). Under general conditions we prove that in the critical regime this system has the one-parameter set of invariant measures parametrized by the…
For a (finite) partially ordered set (poset) $P$, we call a dominating set $D$ in the comparability graph of $P$, an order-sensitive dominating set in $P$ if either $x\in D$ or else $a<x<b$ in $P$ for some $a,b\in D$ for every element $x$…
We compare ergodic properties of the kinetic energy for three stochastic models of subrecoil-laser-cooled gases. One model is based on a heterogeneous random walk (HRW), another is an HRW with long-range jumps (the exponential model), and…
In this thesis, the main objects of study are probability measures on the isomorphism classes of countable, connected rooted graphs. An important class of such measures is formed by unimodular measures, which satisfy a certain equation,…
A graph is well-dominated if all its minimal dominating sets have the same cardinality. In this paper we prove that at least one factor of every connected, well-dominated Cartesian product is a complete graph, which then allows us to give a…
We prove the existence of the local weak limit of the measure obtained by sampling random triangulations of size $n$ decorated by an Ising configuration with a weight proportional to the energy of this configuration. To do so, we establish…
We study a class of optimal control problems governed by nonlinear stochastic equations of monotone type under certain coercivity and linear growth conditions. We give first order necessary conditions of optimality. A stochastic Pontryagin…
We consider a natural model of inhomogeneous random graphs that extends the classical Erd\H os-R\'enyi graphs and shares a close connection with the multiplicative coalescence, as pointed out by Aldous [AOP 1997]. In this model, the…
This work extends to dimension $d\geq3$ the main result of Dehghanpour and Schonmann. We consider the stochastic Ising model on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ evolving with the Metropolis dynamics under a fixed small positive magnetic field $h$ starting…
We study the dynamics of the Fisher-KPP equation on the infinite homogeneous tree and Erd\H{o}s-R\'eyni random graphs. We assume initial data that is zero everywhere except at a single node. For the case of the homogeneous tree, the…
Thermal contact is the archetype of non-equilibrium processes driven by constant non-equilibrium constraints enforced by reservoirs exchanging conserved microscopic quantities. In models with a finite number of possible configurations, if…
The reaction-diffusion processes in a growing domain involves a dilution term that modifies the properties of the homogeneous state that, in contrast to a fixed domain, depends on time. We study how the dilution term changes the steady…
Let $G$ be the product of finitely many trees $T_1\times T_2 \times \cdots \times T_N$, each of which is regular with degree at least three. We consider Bernoulli bond percolation and the Ising model on this graph, giving a short proof that…
In an artificial 3D percolation nano medium, the clusters filled by the Ising magnets give rise to a topologically nontrivial magnetic structure, leading to new features of the ferromagnetic phase transition without an external magnetic…
How complex is an Ising model? Usually, this is measured by the computational complexity of its ground state energy problem. Yet, this complexity measure only distinguishes between planar and non-planar interaction graphs, and thus fails to…
