Studies of biological systems and materials, together with recent experimental and
theoretical advances in colloidal and nanoscale materials, have shown how nonequilibrium …

Using matrix product states to study the dynamical large deviations of kinetically constrained models

MC Banuls, JP Garrahan - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Here we demonstrate that tensor network techniques—originally devised for the analysis of
quantum many-body problems—are well suited for the detailed study of rare event statistics …

Finite-size scaling of a first-order dynamical phase transition: Adaptive population dynamics and an effective model

T Nemoto, RL Jack, V Lecomte - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We analyze large deviations of the time-averaged activity in the one-dimensional
Fredrickson-Andersen model, both numerically and analytically. The model exhibits a …

Finite time large deviations via matrix product states

L Causer, MC Banuls, JP Garrahan - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Recent work has shown the effectiveness of tensor network methods for computing large
deviation functions in constrained stochastic models in the infinite time limit. Here we show …

Adaptive sampling of large deviations

G Ferré, H Touchette - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2018 - Springer
We introduce and test an algorithm that adaptively estimates large deviation functions
characterizing the fluctuations of additive functionals of Markov processes in the long-time …

Importance sampling large deviations in nonequilibrium steady states. I

U Ray, GK Chan, DT Limmer - The Journal of chemical physics, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
Large deviation functions contain information on the stability and response of systems driven
into nonequilibrium steady states and in such a way are similar to free energies for systems …

Sampling rare events across dynamical phase transitions

C Pérez-Espigares, PI Hurtado - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
Interacting particle systems with many degrees of freedom may undergo phase transitions to
sustain atypical fluctuations of dynamical observables such as the current or the activity. In …

Universality in dynamical phase transitions of diffusive systems

O Shpielberg, T Nemoto, J Caetano - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
Universality, where microscopic details become irrelevant, takes place in thermodynamic
phase transitions. The universality is captured by a singular scaling function of the …

Efficient characterisation of large deviations using population dynamics

T Brewer, SR Clark, R Bradford… - Journal of Statistical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider population dynamics as implemented by the cloning algorithm for analysis of
large deviations of time-averaged quantities. We use the simple symmetric exclusion …

Error estimates on ergodic properties of discretized Feynman–Kac semigroups

G Ferré, G Stoltz - Numerische Mathematik, 2019 - Springer
We consider the numerical analysis of the time discretization of Feynman–Kac semigroups
associated with diffusion processes. These semigroups naturally appear in several fields …
