Optimal paths of nonequilibrium stochastic fields: The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface as a test case
Atypically large fluctuations in macroscopic nonequilibrium systems continue to attract interest. Their probability can often be determined by the optimal fluctuation method (OFM). The OFM brings about a conditional variational problem, the solution of which describes the “optimal path” of the syste...
