Large deviations conditioned on large deviations I: Markov chain and Langevin equation
, 2018 We present a systematic analysis of stochastic processes conditioned on an empirical measure $Q_T$ defined in a time interval $[0,T]$ for large $T$. We build our analysis starting from a discrete time Markov chain.

Slower deviations of the branching Brownian motion and of branching random walks
, 2017 We have shown recently how to calculate the large deviation function of the position $X_{\max}(t) $ of the right most particle of a branching Brownian motion at time $t$.

Collapsing lattice animals and lattice trees in two dimensions
, 2005 We present high statistics simulations of weighted lattice bond animals and lattice trees on the square lattice, with fugacities for each non-bonded contact and for each bond between two neighbouring monomers.

Metaphor and philosophy: an encounter with Derrida [PDF]
, 2000 This paper presents a critical analysis of the central argument of Derrida's paper 'White Mythology'. The crucial claims are that the concept of metaphor presupposes philosophy, that philosophy presupposes the concept of metaphor, and that philosophy ...

Foucault's Disagreement with Heidegger and Derrida about Understanding and Interpreting Plato's Philosophy [PDF]
Journal of Philosophical InvestigationsFocusing on Heidegger's and Derrida's interpretations of Plato, this paper highlights a line of interpretation in which Plato is seen as the origin of a philosophical understanding that dismisses the hidden aspect of Being and truth.

Perturbation propagation in random and evolved Boolean networks
, 2009 We investigate the propagation of perturbations in Boolean networks by evaluating the Derrida plot and modifications of it. We show that even small Random Boolean Networks agree well with the predictions of the annealed approximation, but non-random ...

Persistence in the Zero-Temperature Dynamics of the Diluted Ising Ferromagnet in Two Dimensions
, 1999 The non-equilibrium dynamics of the strongly diluted random-bond Ising model in two-dimensions (2d) is investigated numerically. The persistence probability, P(t), of spins which do not flip by time t is found to decay to a non-zero, dilution-dependent,

The depinning transition in presence of disorder: a toy model
, 2014 We introduce a toy model, which represents a simplified version of the problem of the depinning transition in the limit of strong disorder. This toy model can be formulated as a simple renormalization transformation for the probability distribution of a ...
