Spectral gap for an unrestricted Kawasaki type dynamics

Gustavo Posta (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We give an accurate asymptotic estimate for the gap of the generator of a particular interacting particle system. The model we consider may be informally described as follows. A certain number of charged particles moves on the segment [1,L] according to a Markovian law. One unitary charge, positive or negative, jumps from a site k to another site k'=k+1 or k'=k-1 at a rate which depends on the charge at site k and at site k'. The total charge of the system is preserved by the dynamics, in...

Steady state and scaling limit for a traffic congestion model

Ilie Grigorescu, Min Kang (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In a general model (AIMD) of transmission control protocol (TCP) used in internet traffic congestion management, the time dependent data flow vector x(t) > 0 undergoes a biased random walk on two distinct scales. The amount of data of each component xi(t) goes up to xi(t)+a with probability 1-ζi(x) on a unit scale or down to γxi(t), 0 < γ < 1 with probability ζi(x) on a logarithmic scale, where ζi depends on the joint state of the system x. We investigate the long time behavior, mean field...
