多重短程有序准化学模型: 有序原子对的对立与统一

在准化学模型框架下, 假设有序原子对同时具有可区分与不可区分的双重属性, 首先构造了双重短程有序准化学模型, 然后讨论了该模型所能满足的各类理论极限. 经总结提炼, 提出了有序原子对的对立统一理论. 基于该理论, 进一步将双重短程有序准化学模型做了一般化推广, 开发了多重短程有序准化学模型. 该模型能够有效描述二元熔体中存在多重短程有序构型时的热力学行为. 选取了至少存在两重短程有序构型的Bi-K熔体来检验模型的合理性和可靠性. 结果表明, 除配位数外, 只需4个模型参数就能合理再现该二元熔体所有的热化学数据.

Infinity Behavior of Bounded Subharmonic Functions on Ricci Non-negative Manifolds

In this paper,we study the infinity behavior of the bounded subharmonic functions on a Ricci non-negative Riemannian manifold M.We first show that limr→∞r^2/V(r)∫B(r)△hdv=0if h is a bounded subharmonic function.If we further assume that the Laplacian decays pointwisely faster than quadratically we show that h approaches its supremun pointwisely at infinity,under certain auxiliary conditions on the volume growth of M.In particular,our result applies to the case when the Riemannian manifold has maximum volume growth.We also derive a representation formula in our paper,from which one can easily derive Yau‘s Liouville theorem on bounded harmonic functions.     

“Exact” and Approximate Methods for Bayesian Inference: Stochastic Volatility Case Study

We conduct a case study in which we empirically illustrate the performance of different classes of Bayesian inference methods to estimate stochastic volatility models. In particular, we consider how different particle filtering methods affect the variance of the estimated likelihood. We review and compare particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), RMHMC, fixed-form variational Bayes, and integrated nested Laplace approximation to estimate the posterior distribution of the parameters. Additionally, we conduct the review from the point of view of whether these methods are (1) easily adaptable to different model specifications; (2) adaptable to higher dimensions of the model in a straightforward way; (3) feasible in the multivariate case. We show that when using the stochastic volatility model for methods comparison, various data-generating processes have to be considered to make a fair assessment of the methods. Finally, we present a challenging specification of the multivariate stochastic volatility model, which is rarely used to illustrate the methods but constitutes an important practical application.     

A stable manifold MCMC method for high dimensions

We combine two important recent advancements of MCMC algorithms: first, methods utilizing the intrinsic manifold structure of the parameter space; then, algorithms effective for targets in infinite-dimensions with the critical property that their mixing time is robust to mesh refinement.     

Stein domains and branched shadows of 4-manifolds

We provide sufficient conditions assuring that a suitably decorated 2-polyhedron can be thickened to a compact four-dimensional Stein domain. We also study a class of flat polyhedra in 4-manifolds and find conditions assuring that they admit Stein, compact neighborhoods. We base our calculations on Turaev’s shadows suitably “smoothed”; the conditions we find are purely algebraic and combinatorial. Applying our results, we provide examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds admitting “many” positive and negative Stein fillable contact structures, and prove a four-dimensional analog of Oertel’s result on incompressibility of surfaces carried by branched polyhedra.
