Noise levels on the shielded side in cities using a flat city model

The prediction of road traffic noise levels in areas not directly exposed, such as areas behind buildings and courtyards, is difficult using standardised methods. This is mainly due to the fact that traditionally only one or a few sources are included. Here a simple model that assumes a flat city on rigid ground is used to demonstrate that sources from a large area are important. Calculations are compared to measurements for four cases, and the proposed method predicts levels 6-10 dB too high for the equivalent level at all measurement positions. If a correction is applied for this over-estimation, the results agree well.     

A stochastic approach to Wilson loops

Wilson loops exp (i A (x) dx) are investigated in two-dimensional Euclidean space-time. The electromagnetic vector potential A is regarded as a generalized random field given by the stochastic partial differential equation A = F where is a first-order differential operator and F is white noise. We give a rigorous definition of Wilson loops and examine the properties of the N-loop Schwinger functions.

Inference for Spatial Autoregressive Models with Infinite Variance Noises

A self-weighted quantile procedure is proposed to study the inference for a spatial unilateral autoregressive model with independent and identically distributed innovations belonging to the domain of attraction of a stable law with index of stability α, α ∈ (0, 2]. It is shown that when the model is stationary, the self-weighted quantile estimate of the parameter has a closed form and converges to a normal limiting distribution, which avoids the difficulty of Roknossadati and Zarepour (2010) in deriving their limiting distribution for an M-estimate. On the contrary, we show that when the model is not stationary, the proposed estimates have the same limiting distributions as those of Roknossadati and Zarepour. Furthermore, a Wald test statistic is proposed to consider the test for a linear restriction on the parameter, and it is shown that under a local alternative, the Wald statistic has a non-central chisquared distribution. Simulations and a real data example are also reported to assess the performance of the proposed method.     

On the stationary distribution of self-sustained oscillators around bifurcation points

A double expansion in powers of the damping coefficient and noise intensity is shown to be a powerful method for obtaining the stationary distribution of systems that after rescaling become weakly damped conservative ones. Systems undergoing Hopf bifurcations belong to this class. As an illustrative example, the generalized van der Pol oscillator is considered around its bifurcation point. A calculation is carried out up to third order in both the noise intensity and the bifurcation parameter (damping coefficient).     

A comparison between transitions induced by random and periodic fluctuations

It is shown that a certain class of nonlinear systems possesses a unique and stable stationary state when subjected to periodic dichotomous modulations of an external parameter. This result enables us to define a probability density for the system and to characterize its shape and support. We compare this probability density with the one obtained in the case that the external parameter fluctuates randomly like a Markovian dichotomous noise and discuss various fluctuation-induced transition phenomena. The effects of these two types of fluctuations are quite dissimilar: the random fluctuations give rise to a richer behavior. The results are applied to the Freedericksz transition in nematic liquid crystals.Fellow of the University of Texas at Austin.     

Schrödinger uncertainty relation for a quantum oscillator in a thermostat

We introduce the Schrödinger correlator as the holistic characteristic of two types of fluctuation correlations in quantum dynamics and in statistical thermodynamics. We are the first to derive it using methods of thermofield dynamics for the coordinate-momentum variables of a quantum oscillator in a thermostat. We show that the obtained value ensures that the Schrödinger uncertainty relation becomes an equality at all temperatures. We find that the thermal equilibrium for the quantum oscillator has the sense of the thermal correlated coherent state and can be adequately described by a wave function with temperature-dependent amplitude and phase.

A Wiener-Wintner theorem for 1/f power spectra

Wiener's generalized harmonic analysis (GHA) provides a theory of harmonic analysis for subspaces of tempered functions not accessible to the L¹,L², and Fourier series theories; and it does it in a way that is usually more quantitative than that provided by the theory of distributions. On the other hand, GHA does not yield an adequate spectral analysis of large classes of functions, including nonstationary processes and, in particular, 1/f noise. In this paper we adapt GHA to deal with 1/f noise by extending the Wiener-Wintner theorem to the case of 1/f power spectra.
