Directed last passage percolation with discontinuous weights
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that a directed last passage percolation model with discontinuous macroscopic (non-random) inhomogeneities has a continuum limit that corresponds to solving a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the viscosity sense. This Hamilton-Jacobi equation is closely related to the conservation law for the hydrodynamic limit of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process. We also prove convergence of a numerical scheme for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and present an algorithm based on dynamic programming for finding the asymptotic shapes of maximal directed paths.

Sublinear variance for directed last-passage percolation
A range of first-passage percolation type models are believed to demonstrate the related properties of sublinear variance and superdiffusivity. We show that directed last-passage percolation with Gaussian vertex weights has a sublinear variance property. We also consider other vertex weight distributions. Corresponding results are obtained for the ground state of the ‘directed polymers in a ran...
متن کاملLimiting Shape for Directed Percolation Models
We consider directed first-passage and last-passage percolation on the non-negative lattice Zd+, d ≥ 2, with i.i.d. weights at the vertices. Under certain moment conditions on the common distribution of the weights, the limits g(x) = limn→∞ n T (⌊nx⌋) exist and are constant a.s. for x ∈ Rd+, where T (z) is the passage time from the origin to the vertex z ∈ Zd+. We show that this shape function ...

We study the directed last-passage percolation model on the planar integer lattice with nearest-neighbor steps and general i.i.d. weights on the vertices, outside the class of exactly solvable models. Stationary cocycles are constructed for this percolation model from queueing fixed points. These cocycles serve as boundary conditions for stationary last-passage percolation, define solutions to ...
