Capacity bounds for the CDMA system and a neural network: a moderate deviations approach

Matthias Löwe, Franck Vermet (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study two systems that are based on sums of weakly dependent Bernoulli random variables that take values ± 1 with equal probabilities. We show that already one step of the so-called soft decision parallel interference cancellation, used in the third generation of mobile telecommunication CDMA, is able to considerably increase the number of users such a system can host. We also consider a variant of the well-known Hopfield model of neural networks. We show that this variant proposed by Amari...

Characterization of equilibrium measures for critical reversible Nearest Particle Systems

Thomas Mountford, Li Wu (2008)

Open Mathematics

We show that for critical reversible attractive Nearest Particle Systems all equilibrium measures are convex combinations of the upper invariant equilibrium measure and the point mass at all zeros, provided the underlying renewal sequence possesses moments of order strictly greater than 7 + 41 2 and obeys some natural regularity conditions.

Choosing Hydrodynamic Fields

J. W. Dufty, J. J. Brey (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Continuum mechanics (e.g., hydrodynamics, elasticity theory) is based on the assumption that a small set of fields provides a closed description on large space and time scales. Conditions governing the choice for these fields are discussed in the context of granular fluids and multi-component fluids. In the first case, the relevance of temperature or energy as a hydrodynamic field is justified. For mixtures, the use of a total temperature and single...

Cluster continuous time random walks

Agnieszka Jurlewicz, Mark M. Meerschaert, Hans-Peter Scheffler (2011)

Studia Mathematica

In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), a random waiting time precedes each random jump. The CTRW model is useful in physics, to model diffusing particles. Its scaling limit is a time-changed process, whose densities solve an anomalous diffusion equation. This paper develops limit theory and governing equations for cluster CTRW, in which a random number of jumps cluster together into a single jump. The clustering introduces a dependence between the waiting times and jumps that significantly affects...

Coarse-graining schemes and a posteriori error estimates for stochastic lattice systems

Markos A. Katsoulakis, Petr Plecháč, Luc Rey-Bellet, Dimitrios K. Tsagkarogiannis (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The primary objective of this work is to develop coarse-graining schemes for stochastic many-body microscopic models and quantify their effectiveness in terms of a priori and a posteriori error analysis. In this paper we focus on stochastic lattice systems of interacting particles at equilibrium. The proposed algorithms are derived from an initial coarse-grained approximation that is directly computable by Monte Carlo simulations, and the corresponding numerical error is calculated using the...

Complete positivity and the neutral kaon system

Fabio Benatti, roberto Floreanini (1998)

Banach Center Publications

New experiments on neutral K-mesons might turn out to be promising tests of the hypothesis of Complete Positivity in the physics of open quantum systems. In particular, a consistent dynamical description of correlated neutral kaons seems to ask for Complete Positivity.

Computational fluctuating fluid dynamics

John B. Bell, Alejandro L. Garcia, Sarah A. Williams (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper describes the extension of a recently developed numerical solver for the Landau-Lifshitz Navier-Stokes (LLNS) equations to binary mixtures in three dimensions. The LLNS equations incorporate thermal fluctuations into macroscopic hydrodynamics by using white-noise fluxes. These stochastic PDEs are more complicated in three dimensions due to the tensorial form of the correlations for the stochastic fluxes and in mixtures due to couplings of energy and concentration fluxes (e.g., Soret...

Connectivity bounds for the vacant set of random interlacements

Vladas Sidoravicius, Alain-Sol Sznitman (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

The model of random interlacements on ℤd, d≥3, was recently introduced in [Vacant set of random interlacements and percolation. Available at http://www.math.ethz.ch/u/sznitman/preprints]. A non-negative parameter u parametrizes the density of random interlacements on ℤd. In the present note we investigate connectivity properties of the vacant set left by random interlacements at level u, in the non-percolative regime u>u∗, with u∗ the non-degenerate critical parameter for the percolation...

Conservative forms of Boltzmann's collision operator: Landau revisited

Cédric Villani (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We show that Boltzmann's collision operator can be written explicitly in divergence and double divergence forms. These conservative formulations may be of interest for both theoretical and numerical purposes. We give an application to the asymptotics of grazing collisions.
