Switching path distribution in multi-dimensional systems
H. B. Chan, M. I. Dykman, C. Stambaugh
We explore the distribution of paths followed in fluctuation-induced switching between coexisting stable states. We introduce a quantitative characteristic of the path distribution…

Paths of fluctuation induced switching
H. B. Chan, M. I. Dykman, C. Stambaugh
We demonstrate that the paths followed by a system in fluctuation-activated switching form a narrow tube in phase space. A theory of the path distribution is developed and its dire…
