The Derrida--Retaux recursive system was investigated by Derrida and Retaux (2014) as a hierarchical renormalization model in statistical physics. A prediction of Derrida and Retaux (2014) on the free energy has recently been rigorously proved (Chen, Dagard, Derrida, Hu, Lifshits and Shi (2019+)), confirming the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless-type phase transition in the system. Interestingly, it has been established in Chen, Dagard, Derrida, Hu, Lifshits and Shi (2019+) that the prediction…

The sustainability probability for the critical Derrida–Retaux model

We are interested in the recursive model $$(Y_n, \, n\ge 0)$$ ( Y n , n ≥ 0 ) studied by Collet et al. (Commun Math Phys 94:353–370, 1984) and by Derrida and Retaux (J Stat Phys 156:268–290, 2014).…

An Exactly Solvable Continuous-Time Derrida–Retaux Model

To study the depinning transition in the limit of strong disorder, Derrida and Retaux (J Stat Phys 156(2):26–290, 2014 ) introduced a discrete-time max-type recursive model. It is believed that for a…

The Derrida–Retaux conjecture on recursive models

We are interested in the nearly supercritical regime in a family of max-type recursive models studied by Derrida and Retaux, and prove that under a suitable integrability assumption on the initial…

Fractional Moment Bounds and Disorder Relevance for Pinning Models

We study the critical point of directed pinning/wetting models with quenched disorder. The distribution K(·) of the location of the first contact of the (free) polymer with the defect line is assumed…

The Depinning Transition in Presence of Disorder: A Toy Model

We introduce a toy model, which represents a simplified version of the problem of the depinning transition in the limit of strong disorder. This toy model can be formulated as a simple…

The critical behaviors and the scaling functions of a coalescence equation

We show that a coalescence equation exhibits a variety of critical behaviors, depending on the initial condition. This equation was introduced a few years ago to understand a toy model studied by…

Smoothing Effect of Quenched Disorder on Polymer Depinning Transitions

It is proved that, as soon as disorder is present, the transition is at least of second order, in the sense that the free energy is differentiable at the critical line, so that the order parameter vanishes continuously at the transition.

For the DNA denaturation transition in the presence of random contact energies, or equivalently the disordered wetting transition, we introduce a strong disorder renewal approach to construct the…

Results and Conjectures on a Toy Model of Depinning

We review recent results and conjectures for a simplified version of the depinning problem in presence of disorder which was introduced by Derrida and Retaux in 2014. For this toy model, the…

A Max-Type Recursive Model: Some Properties and Open Questions
