Schelling segregation in an open city: a kinetically constrained Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 system
L. Gauvin, J. -P. Nadal, J. Vannimenus
In the 70's Schelling introduced a multi-agent model to describe the segregation dynamics that may occur with individuals having only weak preferences for 'similar' neighbors. Rece…
Phase diagram of a Schelling segregation model
Laetitia Gauvin, Jean Vannimenus, Jean-Pierre Nadal
The collective behavior in a variant of Schelling's segregation model is characterized with methods borrowed from statistical physics, in a context where their relevance was not co…
Universal interface width distributions at the depinning threshold
Alberto Rosso, Werner Krauth, Pierre Le Doussal +2
We compute the probability distribution of the interface width at the depinning threshold, using recent powerful algorithms. It confirms the universality classes found previously.…
Some recent (and surprising) results on interface and contact line depinning in random media
Jean Vannimenus
I give a brief review of results obtained recently at Ecole Normale on the depinning transition of interfaces and contact lines using a variety of approaches: non-local Monte Carlo…
On directed interacting animals and directed percolation
Milan Knezevic, Jean Vannimenus
We study the phase diagram of fully directed lattice animals with nearest-neighbour interactions on the square lattice. This model comprises several interesting ensembles (directed…
A solvable model of interface depinning in random media
J. Vannimenus, B. Derrida
We study the mean-field version of a model proposed by Leschhorn to describe the depinning transition of interfaces in random media. We show that evolution equations for the distri…
