We study the statistics of branching polymers with excluded-volume interactions, by modeling them as single self-avoiding trees on a generic regular periodic lattice with coordination number $q$. Each lattice site can be occupied at most by…
Transportation processes, which play a prominent role in the life and social sciences, are typically described by discrete models on lattices. For studying their dynamics a continuous formulation of the problem via partial differential…
We study a modified mean-field approximation for the Ising Model in arbitrary dimension. Instead of taking a "central" spin, or a small "drop" of fluctuating spins coupled to the effective field of their nearest neighbors as in the…
We point out a new mechanism which can lead to mean field type behaviour in nonequilibrium critical phenomena. We demonstrate this mechanism on a two-dimensional model which can be understood as a stochastic and non-conservative version of…
The minimum spanning tree (MST) is a combinatorial optimization problem: given a connected graph with a real weight ("cost") on each edge, find the spanning tree that minimizes the sum of the total cost of the occupied edges. We consider…
We show that a site-dependent mean-field approach captures the quantum phases of the disordered Bose-Hubbard model commonly adopted to describe ultracold bosons in random optical lattice potentials. The different phases, namely superfluid,…
We consider self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model with long and finite range. By means of the lace expansion we prove mean-field behavior for these models if $d>2(\alpha\wedge2)$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and…
Avalanches in mean-field models can be mapped to memoryless branching processes defining a universality class. We present a reduced expression mapping a broad family of critical and subcriticial avalanches in mean-field models at the…
In this paper, we study a class of reflected backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) of mean-field type, where the mean-field interaction in terms of the distribution of the $Y$-component of the solution enters in both the driver…
Mean-field coupled lattice maps are used to approximate the physics of driven threshold systems with long range interactions. However, they are incapable of modeling specific features of the dynamic instability responsible for generating…
Mean-Field is an efficient way to approximate a posterior distribution in complex graphical models and constitutes the most popular class of Bayesian variational approximation methods. In most applications, the mean field distribution…
Kesten and Lee [36] proved that the total length of a minimal spanning tree on certain random point configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfies a central limit theorem. They also raised the question: how to make these results quantitative?…
The small-world network model is a simple model of the structure of social networks, which simultaneously possesses characteristics of both regular lattices and random graphs. The model consists of a one-dimensional lattice with a low…
In this work, we formulate an abstract framework to study mean-field systems. In contrast to most approaches in the available literature which primarily rely on the analysis of SDEs, ours is based on optimal transport and semigroup theory.…
We consider the biased random walk on a tree constructed from the set of finite self-avoiding walks on a lattice, and use it to construct probability measures on infinite self-avoiding walks. The limit measure (if it exists) obtained when…
The mean-field theory of Kinetically-Constrained-Models is developed by considering the Fredrickson-Andersen model on the Bethe lattice. Using certain properties of the dynamics observed in actual numerical experiments we derive asymptotic…
Deterministic models of vegetation often summarize, at a macroscopic scale, a multitude of intrinsically random events occurring at a microscopic scale. We bridge the gap between these scales by demonstrating convergence to a mean-field…
Decision trees and random forest remain highly competitive for classification on medium-sized, standard datasets due to their robustness, minimal preprocessing requirements, and interpretability. However, a single tree suffers from high…
We develop the theory of meta-iteration trees, that is, iteration trees whose base "model" is itself an ordinary iteration tree. We prove a comparison theorem for meta-iteration strategies parallel to the one for ordinary iteration…
Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) provide valuable insights into problems in strongly correlated many-body systems. Confinement which arises when matter is coupled to gauge fields is just one of the open problems, where LGT formalism can…
