Composition of stochastic processes governed by higher-order parabolic and hyperbolic equations

We consider compositions of stochastic processes that are governed by higherorder partial differential equations. The processes studied include compositions of Brownian motions, stable-like processes with Brownian time, Brownian motion whose time is an integrated telegraph process, and an iterated integrated telegraph process. The governing higher-order equations that are obtained are shown to be either of the usual parabolic type or, as in the last example, of hyperbolic type.     

Asymptotic behavior of roots of random polynomial equations

We derive several new results on the asymptotic behavior of the roots of random polynomial equations, including conditions under which the distributions of the zeros of certain random polynomials tend to the uniform distribution on the circumference of a circle centered at the origin. We also derive a probabilistic analog of the Cauchy-Hadamand theorem that enables us to obtain the radius of convergence of a random power series.     

Search for isovector giant monopole resonances via the Pb(3He,tp) reaction

The (nat)Pb(3He,tp) reaction at E(3He) = 177 MeV was studied to identify 2Planck's over 2piomega isovector monopole strength in Bi isotopes. Monopole strength was found in the region -45相似文献   

Analogy between unconventional superconductivity and unconventional states of liquid crystals

An analogy is stressed between the order-parameter symmetries of the two-dimensional d-pairing wave superconductors and of liquid-crystal mesophases formed from achiral bent-shaped molecules. It leads to a definition of a class of liquid-crystal states which are the analogs of the unconventional superconducting states, and are characterized by a loss of discrete symmetry operations of the parent state.
