Metastability in the reversible inclusion process (2017)
Journal Article
Bianchi, A., Dommers, S., & Giardinà, C. (2017). Metastability in the reversible inclusion process. Electronic journal of probability, 22, Article 70. https://doi.org/10.1214/17-EJP98

We study the condensation regime of the finite reversible inclusion process, i.e., the inclusion process on a finite graph S with an underlying random walk that admits a reversible measure. We assume that the random walk kernel is irreducible and its... Read More about Metastability in the reversible inclusion process.
