反常扩散:定向通过一个势能鞍点

考虑一个处于非Ohmic环境下的系统定向通过一个倒谐振子势鞍点的输运过程,给出了通过几率的解析式。结果表明在欠扩散情况下,时间有关的通过几率出现一个很强的超前峰和回流,这可能有助于理解重核熔合系统的激发函数随质心能量的慢增长机制。Directional transport of a particle in a non-Ohmic environment passing over the saddle point of a potential is considered and the analytical expression of the passing probability is obtained. Our results has shown that both overshooting and backflow are observed in the case of subdiffusion. This is a possible for understanding slow increasing of the fusion probability with the center-of-mass energy.     

Average mutual information of the random block-message ensembles for many-letters

By making use of the theoretical framework presented by Bostroem(K.J.Bostroem,LANL quant-ph/0009052),we generalize the standard quantum information theory of block messages with fixed block length to the variable one.We show that the states belonging to a sufficiently large hilbert space are the highly distinguishable states.We also consider the collection states (product states of more than one qubit state) and seek a “pretty good measurement” (PGM) with measurement vectors to improve the mutual information.The average mutual information over random block-message ensembles with variable block length n is discussed in detail.

Analysis of a discrete-time queueing system with time-limited service

We analyze a discrete-time, single-server queueing system in which the length of each service period is limited. The server takes a vacation when the limit expires or the queue empties, whichever occurs first. In the former case, the preempted service is resumed after the vacation without loss or creation of any work. This system models the transmission of message frames from a station on timed-token local-area networks (for example, FDDI and IEEE 802.4 token bus). We study the process of the unfinished work and the joint process of the queue size and the remaining service time. By using the technique of discrete Fourier transforms to determine some unknown functions in the governing equations, we numerically obtain exact mean waiting times.A part of the work of H.

Message Passing and Metabolism

Active inference is an increasingly prominent paradigm in theoretical biology. It frames the dynamics of living systems as if they were solving an inference problem. This rests upon their flow towards some (non-equilibrium) steady state—or equivalently, their maximisation of the Bayesian model evidence for an implicit probabilistic model. For many models, these self-evidencing dynamics manifest as messages passed among elements of a system. Such messages resemble synaptic communication at a neuronal network level but could also apply to other network structures. This paper attempts to apply the same formulation to biochemical networks. The chemical computation that occurs in regulation of metabolism relies upon sparse interactions between coupled reactions, where enzymes induce conditional dependencies between reactants. We will see that these reactions may be viewed as the movement of probability mass between alternative categorical states. When framed in this way, the master equations describing such systems can be reformulated in terms of their steady-state distribution. This distribution plays the role of a generative model, affording an inferential interpretation of the underlying biochemistry. Finally, we see that—in analogy with computational neurology and psychiatry—metabolic disorders may be characterized as false inference under aberrant prior beliefs.

Numerical performance of parallel group explicit solvers for the solution of fourth order elliptic equations

Many applications in applied mathematics and engineering involve numerical solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs). Various discretisation procedures such as the finite difference method result in a problem of solving large, sparse systems of linear equations. In this paper, a group iterative numerical scheme based on the rotated (skewed) five-point finite difference discretisation is proposed for the solution of a fourth order elliptic PDE which represents physical situations in fluid mechanics and elasticity. The rotated approximation formulas lead to schemes with lower computational complexities compared to the centred approximation formulas since the iterative procedure need only involve nodes on half of the total grid points in the solution domain. We describe the development of the parallel group iterative scheme on a cluster of distributed memory parallel computer using Message-Passing Interface (MPI) programming environment. A comparative study with another group iterative scheme derived from the centred difference formula is also presented. A detailed performance analysis of the parallel implementations of both group methods will be reported and discussed.     

Bayesian Networks with Degenerate Gaussian Distributions

Bayesian networks compute marginal distributions through the message passing algorithm—a series of local calculations involving neighboring cliques of variables in a clique tree. In this work, these message passing computations are extended to the case of degenerate Gaussian potentials which are multivariate Gaussian densities that can have two different kinds of degeneracies corresponding to projections with zero variance and projections with infinite variance. The basic operations of the message passing algorithm, such as representing conditional distributions, extending potentials, and conditioning on observations, create or operate on potentials with various kinds of degeneracies thereby demonstrating the need for such methodology. Computer implementation of this scheme follows easily from the details within and some computational aspects are discussed. We also demonstrate an application of our methodology to automatic musical accompaniment.     

Parallel algorithm for efficient calculation of second derivatives of conformational energy function in internal coordinates

A parallel algorithm for efficient calculation of the second derivatives (Hessian) of the conformational energy in internal coordinates is proposed. This parallel algorithm is based on the master/slave model. A master processor distributes the calculations of components of the Hessian to one or more slave processors that, after finishing their calculations, send the results to the master processor that assembles all the components of the Hessian. Our previously developed molecular analysis system for conformational energy optimization, normal mode analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation for internal coordinates is extended to use this parallel algorithm for Hessian calculation on a massively parallel computer. The implementation of our algorithm uses the message passing interface and works effectively on both distributed-memory parallel computers and shared-memory parallel computers. We applied this system to the Newton–Raphson energy optimization of the structures of glutaminyl transfer RNA (Gln-tRNA) with 74 nucleotides and glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) with 540 residues to analyze the performance of our system. The parallel speedups for the Hessian calculation were 6.8 for Gln-tRNA with 24 processors and 11.2 for GlnRS with 54 processors. The parallel speedups for the Newton–Raphson optimization were 6.3 for Gln-tRNA with 30 processors and 12.0 for GlnRS with 62 processors. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
