Given $\epsilon \in (0,1)$, a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^p$ and a semi-algebraic set $K\subset X\times\Omega$, we consider the feasible set $X^*_\epsilon=\{x\in X:{\rm Prob}[(x,\omega)\in K]\geq 1-\epsilon\}$…

We consider the random walk on a simple point process on $\Bbb{R}^d$, $d\geq2$, whose jump rates decay exponentially in the $\alpha$-power of jump length. The case $\alpha =1$ corresponds to the phonon-induced variable-range hopping in…
Consider a set P of N random points on the unit sphere of dimension $d-1$, and the symmetrized set S = P union (-P). The halving polyhedron of S is defined as the convex hull of the set of centroids of N distinct points in S. We prove that…
The mixing time of a discrete-time quantum walk on the hypercube is considered. The mean probability distribution of a Markov chain on a hypercube is known to mix to a uniform distribution in time O(n log n). We show that the mean…
We consider a discrete time simple symmetric random walk on Z^d, d>=1, where the path of the walk is perturbed by inserting deterministic jumps. We show that for any time n and any deterministic jumps that we insert, the expected number of…
We study the Hartree model for two electrons with spin, living in the two-dimensional or three-dimensional space with Coulomb interactions and submitted to the potential induced by two nuclei of charge +1. In the limit where the nuclei move…
Let $G(N,p)=(V,E)$ be an Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph and $(X_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a simple random walk on it. We study the the order of magnitude of $\sum_{i \in V} \pi_ih_{ij} $ where $\pi_i=d_i / 2|E|$ for $d_i$ the number of…
In a recent study, (Jain et al 2007 Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 190601), a symmetric exclusion process with time-dependent hopping rates was introduced. Using simulations and a perturbation theory, it was shown that if the hopping rates at two…
Many statistical models have likelihoods which are intractable: it is impossible or too expensive to compute the likelihood exactly. In such settings, a common approach is to replace the likelihood with an approximation, and proceed with…
