Modeling of pair distribution functions for XAFS in disordered systems

A commonly used expression for modeling the XAFS of highly disordered systems is shown to generate substantial systematic errors in the coordination number in many cases of practical interest. This expression is corrected and generalized. Further, a simpler and more flexible model distribution is proposed, and the corresponding XAFS expression is derived. Comparison with experimental and simulated data show that the new expressions are useful in cases of high disorder for which the cumulant expansion loses its utility, and they explicitly account for the k-dependence of the mean free path.     

Convergent sequences of sparse graphs: A large deviations approach

Models based on sparse graphs are of interest to many communities: they appear as basic models in combinatorics, probability theory, optimization, statistical physics, information theory, and more applied fields of social sciences and economics. Different notions of similarity (and hence convergence) of sparse graphs are of interest in different communities. In probability theory and combinatorics, the notion of Benjamini‐Schramm convergence, also known as left‐convergence, is used quite frequently. Statistical physicists are interested in the the existence of the thermodynamic limit of free energies, which leads naturally to the notion of right‐convergence. Combinatorial optimization problems naturally lead to so‐called partition convergence, which relates to the convergence of optimal values of a variety of constraint satisfaction problems. The relationship between these different notions of similarity and convergence is, however, poorly understood. In this paper we introduce a new notion of convergence of sparse graphs, which we call Large Deviations or LD‐convergence, and which is based on the theory of large deviations. The notion is introduced by “decorating” the nodes of the graph with random uniform i.i.d. weights and constructing corresponding random measures on and . A graph sequence is defined to be converging if the corresponding sequence of random measures satisfies the Large Deviations Principle with respect to the topology of weak convergence on bounded measures on . The corresponding large deviations rate function can be interpreted as the limit object of the sparse graph sequence. In particular, we can express the limiting free energies in terms of this limit object. We then establish that LD‐convergence implies the other three notions of convergence discussed above, and at the same time establish several previously unknown relationships between the other notions of convergence. In particular, we show that partition‐convergence does not imply left‐ or right‐convergence, and that right‐convergence does not imply partition‐convergence. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
