Ritz method for transition paths and quasipotentials of rare diffusive events

The probability of trajectories of weakly diffusive processes to remain in the tubular neighborhood of a smooth path is given by the Freidlin-Wentzell-Graham theory of large deviations. The most probable path between two states (the instanton) and the leading term in the logarithm of the process tra...
