Adaptive strategy in Kelly's horse races model
Armand Despons, David Lacoste, Luca Peliti
We formulate an adaptive version of Kelly's horse model in which the gambler learns from past race results using Bayesian inference. A known asymptotic scaling for the difference b…
Branching processes with resetting as a model for cell division
Arthur Genthon, Reinaldo García-García, David Lacoste
We study the Stochastic Thermodynamics of cell growth and division using a theoretical framework based on branching processes with resetting. Cell division may be split into two su…
A robust transition to homochirality in complex chemical reaction networks
Gabin Laurent, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
Homochirality, i.e. the dominance across all living matter of one enantiomer over the other among chiral molecules, is thought to be a key step in the emergence of life. Building o…
Emergence of homochirality in large molecular systems
Gabin Laurent, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
The selection of a single molecular handedness, or homochirality across all living matter, is a mystery in the origin of life. Frank's seminal model showed in the fifties how chira…
Phase transitions in optimal strategies for betting
L. Dinis, J. Unterberger, D. Lacoste
Kelly's criterion is a betting strategy that maximizes the long term growth rate, but which is known to be risky. Here, we find optimal betting strategies that gives the highest ca…
An ordered set of power-efficiency trade-offs
Hadrien Vroylandt, David Lacoste, Gatien Verley
In this paper, we derive a number of inequalities which express power-efficiency trade-offs that hold generally for thermodynamic machines operating in non-equilibrium stationary s…
