We consider the first exit point distribution from a bounded domain $\Omega$ of the stochastic process $(X_t)_{t\ge 0}$ solution to the overdamped Langevin dynamics $$d X_t = -\nabla f(X_t) d t + \sqrt{h} \ d B_t$$ starting from the…

Let $(X_t)_{t\ge 0}$ be the stochastic process solution to the overdamped Langevin dynamics $$dX_t=-\nabla f(X_t) \, dt +\sqrt h \, dB_t$$ and let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d $ be the basin of attraction of a local minimum of $f: \mathbb…

Let f : R d $\rightarrow$ R be a smooth function and (Xt) t$\ge$0 be the stochastic process solution to the overdamped Langevin dynamics dXt = ----f (Xt)dt + $\sqrt$ h dBt. Let $\Omega$ $\subset$ R d be a smooth bounded domain and assume…

We consider the exit event from a metastable state for the overdamped Langevin dynamics $dX_t = -\nabla f(X_t) dt + \sqrt{h} dB_t$. Using tools from semiclassical analysis, we prove that, starting from the quasi stationary distribution…

Consider a two-dimensional continuous-time dynamical system, with an attracting fixed point $S$. If the deterministic dynamics are perturbed by white noise (random perturbations) of strength $\epsilon$, the system state will eventually…

In this work, we analyse the metastability of non-reversible diffusion processes $$dX_t=\boldsymbol{b}(X_t)dt+\sqrt h\,dB_t$$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$ when $\mathbf{b}$ admits the decomposition $\mathbf{b}=-(\nabla f+\mathbf{\ell})$ and…

We study the exit time from a bounded multi-dimensional domain $\Omega$ of the stochastic process $\mathbf{Y}_\varepsilon=\mathbf{Y}_\varepsilon(t,a)$, $t\geqslant 0$, $a\in \mathcal{A}$, governed by the overdamped Langevin dynamics…

Starting from the overdamped Langevin dynamics in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $$ dX_t = -\nabla V(X_t) dt + \sqrt{2 \beta^{-1}} dW_t, $$ we consider a scalar Markov process $\xi_t$ which approximates the dynamics of the first component $X^1_t$. In the…

We study the exit problem of solutions of the stochastic differential equation dX(t)=-U'(X(t))dt+epsilon dL(t) from bounded or unbounded intervals which contain the unique asymptotically stable critical point of the deterministic dynamical…

We are interested in the connection between a metastable continuous state space Markov process (satisfying e.g. the Langevin or overdamped Langevin equation) and a jump Markov process in a discrete state space. More precisely, we use the…

Consider the Langevin process, described by a vector (positions and momenta) in $\mathbb{R}^{d}\times\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $\mathcal O$ be a $\mathcal{C}^2$ open bounded and connected set of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Recent works showed the existence of…

We discuss the existence and characterization of quasi-stationary distributions and Yaglom limits of self-similar Markov processes that reach 0 in finite time. By Yaglom limit, we mean the existence of a deterministic function $g$ and a…

We prove a sharp asymptotic formula for the mean exit time from a bounded domain $D\subset \mathbb R^d$ for the overdamped Langevin dynamics $$d X_t = -\nabla f(X_t) d t + \sqrt{2\ve} \ d B_t$$ when $\ve \to 0$ and in the case when $D$…

This paper focuses on stochastic saddle point problems with decision-dependent distributions. These are problems whose objective is the expected value of a stochastic payoff function and whose data distribution drifts in response to…

We provide a large deviations analysis of deadlock phenomena occurring in distributed systems sharing common resources. In our model transition probabilities of resource allocation and deallocation are time and space dependent. The process…

The properties of higher-index saddle points have been invoked in recent theories of the dynamics of supercooled liquids. Here we examine in detail a mapping of configurations to saddle points using minimization of $|\nabla E|^2$, which has…

In molecular dynamics, several algorithms have been designed over the past few years to accelerate the exit event from a metastable region of the configuration space. Some of them are based on the fact that the exit event from a metastable…

This paper discusses the first exit and Dirichlet problems of the nonisotropic tempered $\alpha$-stable process $X_t$. The upper bounds of all moments of the first exit position $\left|X_{\tau_D}\right|$ and the first exit time $\tau_D$ are…

The diffusion strategy for distributed learning from streaming data employs local stochastic gradient updates along with exchange of iterates over neighborhoods. In Part I [2] of this work we established that agents cluster around a network…

In part I we considered the problem of convergence to a saddle point of a concave-convex function via gradient dynamics and an exact characterization was given to their asymptotic behaviour. In part II we consider a general class of…
