Annealed upper tails for the energy of a charged polymer

Amine Asselah (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We study the upper tails for the energy of a randomly charged symmetric and transient random walk. We assume that only charges on the same site interact pairwise. We consider estimates, that is when we average over both randomness, in dimension three or more. We obtain a large deviation principle, and an explicit rate function for a large class of charge distributions.

On the Maximum of a Branching Process Conditioned on the Total Progeny

Kerbashev, Tzvetozar (1999)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The maximum M of a critical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson process conditioned on the total progeny N is studied. Imbedding of the process in a random walk is used. A limit theorem for the distribution of M as N → ∞ is proved. The result is trasferred to the non-critical processes. A corollary for the maximal strata of a random rooted labeled tree is obtained.

Homogenization of a singular random one-dimensional PDE

Bogdan Iftimie, Étienne Pardoux, Andrey Piatnitski (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

This paper deals with the homogenization problem for a one-dimensional parabolic PDE with random stationary mixing coefficients in the presence of a large zero order term. We show that under a proper choice of the scaling factor for the said zero order terms, the family of solutions of the studied problem converges in law, and describe the limit process. It should be noted that the limit dynamics remain random.
