A note on asymptotic inference in a class of non-stationary processes

In this note some problems of asymptotic inference in a class of non-stationary stochastic processes are considered. In particular, it is shown that no criterion based on the existence of uniformly most powerful tests over a local neighborhood can be used in this situation.     

Nuclear mass form factors from coherent photoproduction of πmesons

Data for coherent photoproduction of π⁰ mesons from nuclei ( ¹²C, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁹³Nb, ^natPb), recently measured with the TAPS detector at the Mainz MAMI accelerator, have been analyzed in view of the mass form factors of the nuclei. The form factors have been extracted in plane-wave approximation of the A(γ,π⁰)A reaction and corrected for final-state interaction effects with the help of distorted-wave impulse approximations. Nuclear mass rms radii have been calculated from the slope of the form factors for q² → 0. Furthermore, the Helm model (hard-sphere form factor folded with Gaussian) was used to extract diffraction radii from the zeroes of the form factor and skin thicknesses from the position and height of its first maximum. The diffraction radii from the Helm model agree with the corresponding charge radii obtained from electron scattering experiments within their uncertainties of a few per cent. The rms radii from the slope of the form factors are systematically lower by up to 5% for PWIA and up to 10% for DWIA. Also the skin thicknesses extracted from the Helm model are systematically smaller than their charge counterparts.     

Two-Parametric Compound Binomial Approximations

We consider two-parametric compound binomial approximation of the generalized Poisson binomial distribution. We show that the accuracy of approximation essentially depends on the symmetry or shifting of distributions and construct asymptotic expansions. For the proofs, we combine the properties of norms with the results for convolutions of symmetric and shifted distributions. In the lattice case, we use the characteristic function method. In the case of almost binomial approximation, we apply Steins method.__________Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 443–466, October–December, 2004.     

Intersection Local Times of Independent Brownian Motions as Generalized White Noise Functionals

A 'chaos expansion' of the intersection local time functional of two independent Brownian motions in R ^d is given. The expansion is in terms of normal products of white noise (corresponding to multiple Wiener integrals). As a consequence of the local structure of the normal products, the kernel functions in the expansion are explicitly given and exhibit clearly the dimension dependent singularities of the local time functional. Their L ^p -properties are discussed. An important tool for deriving the chaos expansion is a computation of the 'S-transform' of the corresponding regularized intersection local times and a control about their singular limit.     

Recurrence-Transience for Self-similar Additive Processes Associated with Stable Distributions

For any stable distribution on the line, recurrence-transience of the selfsimilar additive process {X _t ,t0} with (X ₁)= is determined. Comparison with the stable Lévy process {Y _t ,t0} with (Y ₁)= is made: if is not strictly stable, then {Y _t } is transient but {X _t } is recurrent except the obviously transient case of monotone sample functions.     

中能Abrasion-Ablation模型的核内核子密度分布修正

将具体的核内核子(包括中子、质子)密度分布引入到中能Abrasion-Ablation模型中,用修正后的模型计算了30MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg反应中的弹核碎裂过程.结果表明,在非常周边的碰撞中,修正后的模型计算的碎片截面与修正前的计算相比有明显的差别,反映了核密度边缘弥散的影响.与实验结果的比较验证了中能弹核碎裂碎片能量相对于束流能量的降低是由摩擦作用引起的.     

Energy Momentum of Marder Universe in Teleparallel Gravity

In order to evaluate the energy distribution (due to matter and fields including gravitation) associated with a space-time model of cylindrically-symmetric Marder universe, we consider the Møller, Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson and Landau–Lifshitz energy and momentum definitions in the teleparallel gravity (TG). The energy-momentum distributions are found to be zero. These results are the same as a previous works of Aygün et al., they investigated the same problem in general relativity (GR) by using the Einstein, Møller, Bergmann–Thomson, Landau–Lifshitz (LL), Papapetrou, Qadir–Sharif and Weinberg’s definitions. These results support the viewpoints of Banerjee–Sen, Xulu, Radinschi and Aydo?du–Salt?. Another point is that our study agree with previous works of Cooperstock–Israelit, Rosen, Johri et al. This paper indicates an important point that these energy-momentum definitions agree with each other not only in general relativity but also in teleparallel gravity. It is also independent of the teleparallel dimensionless coupling constants, which means that it is valid not only in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, but also in any teleparallel model.     

Planar Line Processes for Void and Density Statistics in Thin Stochastic Fibre Networks

Using results for the distribution of perimeters of random polygons arising from random lines in a plane, we obtain new analytic approximations to the distributions of areas and local line densities for random polygons and compute various limiting properties of random polygons. Using simulation, we show that the lengths of adjacent sides of polygons generated by random line processes in the plane are correlated with ρ=0.616±0.001.     

Semiclassical information from deformed and escort information measures

Escort distributions are a well established but (for physicists) a relatively new concept that is rapidly gaining wide acceptance in world. In this work we wish to revisit the concept within the strictures of the celebrated semiclassical Husimi distributions (HDs) and thereby investigate the possibility of extracting new semiclassical information contained, not in the HD themselves, but in their associated escort Husimi distributions. We will also establish relations, for various information measures, between their deformed versions [J. Naudts, Physica A 316 (2002) 323] and those built up with escort HDs. Bounds on the concomitant power exponents will be determined.     

Broad distributions from resource partitioning

We present a model describing a generic process in which a finite resource is partitioned and distributed among agents. Through numerical simulation we show that the model considered is able to originate, within a unifying approach, a variety of broad distributions and provides an interpretation of empirical properties of distributions observed in the real world. In particular it allows to relate the exponent of the power-law part of the distributions to resource abundance and accessibility, while the left-end exponential behavior, observed in many distributions, is related to the presence of dissipative effects.
