We investigate random walks on a lattice with imperfect traps. In one dimension, we perturbatively compute the survival probability
by reducing the problem to a particle diffusing on a closed ring containing just one single trap. Numerical simulations reveal
this solution, which is exact in the limit of perfect traps, to be remarkably robust with respect to a significant lowering
of the trapping probability. We demonstrate that for randomly distributed traps, the long-time asymptotics of our result recovers
the known stretched exponential decay. We also study an anisotropic three-dimensional version of our model. We discuss possible
applications of some of our findings to the decay of excitons in semiconducting organic polymer materials, and emphasize the
crucial influence of the spatial trap distribution on the kinetics.

A physical law is represented by the probability distribution of a measured variable. The probability density is described
by measured data using an estimator whose kernel is the instrument scattering function. The experimental information and data
redundancy are defined in terms of information entropy. The model cost function, comprised of data redundancy and estimation
error, is minimized by the creation-annihilation process.

Recently Garel, Monthus and Orland [Europhys. Lett. 55, 132 (2001)] considered a model of DNA denaturation in which excluded volume effects within each strand are neglected, while
mutual avoidance is included. Using an approximate scheme they found a first order denaturation. We show that a first order
transition for this model follows from exact results for the statistics of two mutually avoiding random walks, whose reunion
exponent is c > 2, both in two and three dimensions. Analytical estimates of c due to the interactions with other denaturated loops, as well as numerical calculations, indicate that the transition is
even sharper than in models where excluded volume effects are fully incorporated. The probability distribution of distances
between homologous base pairs decays as a power law at the transition.

A generalised random walk scheme for random walks in an arbitrary external potential field is investigated. From this concept
which accounts for the symmetry breaking of homogeneity through the external field, a generalised master equation is constructed.
For long-tailed transfer distance or waiting time distributions we show that this generalised master equation is the genesis
of apparently different fractional Fokker-Planck equations discussed in literature. On this basis, we introduce a generalisation
of the Kramers-Moyal expansion for broad jump length distributions that combines multiples of both ordinary and fractional
spatial derivatives. However, it is shown that the nature of the drift term is not changed through the existence of anomalous
transport statistics, and thus to first order, an external potential Φ(x) feeds back on the probability density function W through the classical term ∝/
x
(x)W(x, t), i.e., even for Lévy flights, there exists a linear infinitesimal generator that accounts for the response to an external field.

In financial market risk measurement, Value-at-Risk (VaR) techniques have proven to be a very useful and popular tool. Unfortunately,
most VaR estimation models suffer from major drawbacks: the lognormal (Gaussian) modeling of the returns does not take into
account the observed fat tail distribution and the non-stationarity of the financial instruments severely limits the efficiency
of the VaR predictions. In this paper, we present a new approach to VaR estimation which is based on ideas from the field
of information theory and lossless data compression. More specifically, the technique of context modeling is applied to estimate
the VaR by conditioning the probability density function on the present context. Tree-structured vector quantization is applied
to partition the multi-dimensional state space of both macroeconomic and microeconomic priors into an increasing but limited
number of context classes. Each class can be interpreted as a state of aggregation with its own statistical and dynamic behavior,
or as a random walk with its own drift and step size. Results on the US S&P500 index, obtained using several evaluation methods,
show the strong potential of this approach and prove that it can be applied successfully for, amongst other useful applications,
VaR and volatility prediction. The October 1997 crash is indicated in time.

We comment on some open questions and theoretical peculiarities in Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics. It is shown
that the theoretical basis of the successful Tsallis' generalized exponential distribution shows some worrying properties
with the conventional normalization and the escort probability. These theoretical difficulties may be avoided by introducing
an so called incomplete normalization allowing to deduce Tsallis' generalized distribution in a more convincing and consistent
way.

A sticking probability model based on the average cluster lifetime is employed for deducing a kernel capable to describe the
kinetics of computer simulated irreversible aggregation processes in two dimensions. The deduced kernel describes not only
the time evolution of the cluster size distribution for diffusion limited aggregation (DLCA) and reaction limited aggregation
(RLCA) but also for the entire transition region between both regimes. The model predicts a crossover to diffusion limited
cluster aggregation for all sticking probabilities at long aggregation times. The time needed for reaching the DLCA limit
increases for decreasing sticking probability.

The relationship between a microscopic parameter p, that is related to the probability of choosing a mechanism of deposition, and the stochastic equation for the interface's
evolution is studied for two different models. It is found that in one model, that is similar to ballistic deposition, the
corresponding stochastic equation can be represented by a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation where both λ and ν depend on
p in the following way: ν(p) = νp and λ(p) = λp
3/2. Furthermore, in the other studied model, which is similar to random deposition with relaxation, the stochastic equation
can be represented by an Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) equation where ν depends on p according to ν(p) = νp
2. It is expected that these results will help to find a framework for the development of stochastic equations starting from
microscopic details of growth models.

proportional to their connectivity, is applied to Brazilian election results. The application of the Sznajd rule, that only

Shape-dependent universal crossing probabilities are studied, via Monte Carlo simulations, for bond and site directed percolation on the square lattice in the diagonal direction, at the percolation
threshold. In a dynamical interpretation, the crossing probability is the probability that, on a system with size L, an epidemic spreading without immunization remains active at time t. Since the system is strongly anisotropic, the shape dependence in space-time enters through the effective aspect ratio r
eff = ct/L
z, where c is a non-universal constant and z the anisotropy exponent. A particular attention is paid to the influence of the initial state on the universal behaviour
of the crossing probability. Using anisotropic finite-size scaling and generalizing a simple argument given by Aizenman for
isotropic percolation, we also obtain the behaviour of the probability to find n incipient spanning clusters on a finite system at time t. The numerical results are in good agreement with the conjecture.

We present a framework that allows for a systematic assessment of risk given a specific model and belief on the market. Within
this framework the time evolution of risk is modeled in a twofold way. On the one hand, risk is modeled by the time discrete
and nonlinear garch(1,1) process, which allows for a (time-)local understanding of its level, together with a short term forecast.
On the other hand, via a diffusion approximation, the time evolution of the probability density of risk is modeled by a Fokker-Planck equation.
Then, as a final step, using Bayes theorem, beliefs are conditioned on the stationary probability density function as obtained
from the Fokker-Planck equation. We believe this to be a highly rigorous framework to integrate subjective judgments of future
market behavior and underlying models. In order to demonstrate the approach, we apply it to risk assessment of empirical interest
rate scenario methodologies, i.e. the application of Principal Component Analysis to the the dynamics of bonds.

In this paper we investigate the conformation statistics of a Gaussian chain embedded in a medium of finite size, in the presence
of quenched random obstacles. The similarities and differences between the case of random obstacles and the case of a Gaussian
random potential are elucidated. The connection with the density of states of electrons in a metal with random repulsive impurities
of finite range is discussed. We also interpret the results obtained in some previous numerical simulations.

We present a three–dimensional model for quark matter with a density dependent quark–quark (confining) potential, which allows
to describe a sort of deconfinement transition as the system evolves from a low density assembly of bound structures to a
high density free Fermi gas of quarks. We consider different confining potentials, some of which successfully utilized in
hadron spectroscopy. We find that a proper treatment of the many–body correlations induced by the medium is essential to disentangle
the different nature of the two (hadronic and deconfined) phases of the system. For this purpose the ground state energy per
particle and the pair correlation function are investigated.

We develop a scaling theory for a single polyampholyte chain adsorbed on a charged spherical particle in a theta-solvent.
Adsorption of a polyampholyte molecule is due to its polarization in the electrostatic field of the particle. For large particles
with sizes exceeding the thickness of the adsorbed layer, the conformations of the chain are similar to the one found for
polyampholyte adsorption on charged planar surface. However, an adsorbed polyampholyte chain forms a self-similar flower-like
structure near the particles with sizes smaller than its Gaussian size. These self-similar structures result from the balance
of the polarization energy of loops and the excluded volume interactions between monomers. The structure of an adsorbed polyampholyte
in the flower-like conformation is similar to that of a neutral star polymer.

We study by theoretical analysis and by direct numerical simulation the dynamics of a wide class of asynchronous stochastic
systems composed of many autocatalytic degrees of freedom. We describe the generic emergence of truncated power laws in the
size distribution of their individual elements. The exponents α of these power laws are time independent and depend only on
the way the elements with very small values are treated. These truncated power laws determine the collective time evolution
of the system. In particular the global stochastic fluctuations of the system differ from the normal Gaussian noise according
to the time and size scales at which these fluctuations are considered. We describe the ranges in which these fluctuations
are parameterized respectively by: the Lévy regime α < 2, the power law decay with large exponent ( α > 2), and the exponential
decay. Finally we relate these results to the large exponent power laws found in the actual behavior of the stock markets
and to the exponential cut-off detected in certain recent measurement.

In this paper, the dynamics of heuristic algorithms for constructing small vertex covers (or independent sets) of finite-connectivity
random graphs is analysed. In every algorithmic step, a vertex is chosen with respect to its vertex degree. This vertex, and
some environment of it, is covered and removed from the graph. This graph reduction process can be described as a Markovian
dynamics in the space of random graphs of arbitrary degree distribution. We discuss some solvable cases, including algorithms
already analysed using different techniques, and develop approximation schemes for more complicated cases. The approximations
are corroborated by numerical simulations.

We study the static scalar susceptibility of the nuclear medium, i.e., the change of the quark condensate for a small modification of the quark mass. In the linear sigma model it is linked to
the in-medium sigma propagator and its magnitude increases due to the mixing with the softer modes of the nucleon-hole excitations.
We show that the pseudoscalar susceptibility, which is large in the vacuum, owing to the smallness of the pion mass, follows
the density evolution of the quark condensate and thus decreases. At normal nuclear matter density the two susceptibilities
become much closer, a partial chiral symmetry restoration effect as they become equal when the full restoration is achieved.

In stochastic finance, one traditionally considers the return as a competitive measure of an asset, i.e., the profit generated by that asset after some fixed time span Δt, say one week or one year. This measures how well (or how bad) the asset performs over that given period of time. It has
been established that the distribution of returns exhibits “fat tails” indicating that large returns occur more frequently
than what is expected from standard Gaussian stochastic processes [1-3]. Instead of estimating this “fat tail” distribution
of returns, we propose here an alternative approach, which is outlined by addressing the following question: What is the smallest
time interval needed for an asset to cross a fixed return level of say 10%? For a particular asset, we refer to this time
as the investment horizon and the corresponding distribution as the investment horizon distribution. This latter distribution complements that of returns and provides new and possibly crucial information for portfolio design
and risk-management, as well as for pricing of more exotic options. By considering historical financial data, exemplified
by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, we obtain a novel set of probability distributions for the investment horizons which
can be used to estimate the optimal investment horizon for a stock or a future contract.
