Limits of One-dimensional Interacting Particle Systems with Two-scale Interaction*

This paper characterizes the limits of a large system of interacting particles distributed on the real line. The interaction occurring among neighbors involves two kinds of independent actions with different rates. This system is a generalization of the voter process, of which each particle is of type A or a. Under suitable scaling, the local proportion functions of A particles converge to continuous functions which solve a class of stochastic partial differential equations driven by Fisher-Wrig...     

曲率流的参数化有限元逼近

许多物理现象可以在数学上描述为受曲率驱动的自由界面运动,例如薄膜和泡沫的演变、晶体生长,等等.这些薄膜和界面的运动常依赖于其表面曲率,从而可以用相应的曲率流来描述,其相关自由界面问题的数值计算和误差分析一直是计算数学领域中的难点.参数化有限元法是曲率流的一类有效计算方法,已经能够成功模拟一些曲面在几类基本的曲率流下的演化过程.本文重点讨论曲率流的参数化有限元逼近,它的产生、发展和当前的一些挑战.     

一些稀疏图的强边染色（英文）

图G的强边染色是指对图G进行正常边染色使得任意长度为3的路的三条边染不同的颜色.图G的强边色数,记为χ’_s(G),是使得图G是强k边着色的最小正整数kk.2015年,Zang [arXiv:1510.00785]证明了:最大度△(G)=5的图G,χ’_s(G)≤37.本文证明了:最大度△(G)=5且最大平均度小于8/3(或者14/5)的图G,χ’_s(G)≤13 (或者14).另外,本文证明了:最大度△(G)≥3的不含K_2,3-图子式的图G,χ’_s(G)≤4△(G)-6,这个界是紧的.     

Rearrangement Free Method for Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev Inequalities on $\mathbb{S}^n$

For conformal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev(HLS) inequalities [22] and reversed conformal HLS inequalities [8] on $\mathbb{S}^n,$ a new proof is given for the attainability of their sharp constants. Classical methods used in [22] and [8] depends on rearrangement inequalities. Here, we use the subcritical approach to construct the extremal sequence and circumvent the blow-up phenomenon by renormalization method. The merit of the method is that it does not rely on rearrangement inequalities.     

Quantum mechanics versus realism

Quantum theory accepts the point-like indivisible (classical) character of a particle as a mere product of a measuring process, or what has become known as a collapse. Following the notion of empty waves, which accepts the particle as a real existent entity without regard to the measurement process, we propose an experiment that may shed some light on the reality of the particle and the consequences of that reality.     

Exact results for the asymmetric simple exclusion process with a blockage

We present new results for the current as a function of transmission rate in the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with a blockage that lowers the jump rate at one site from one tor<1. Exact finitevolume results serve to bound the allowed values for the current in the infinite system. This proves the existence of a nonequilibrium phase transition, corresponding to an immiscibility gap in the allowed values of the asymptotic densities which the infinite system can have in a stationary state. A series expansion inr, derived from the finite systems, is proven to be asymptotic for all sufficiently large systems. Padé approximants based on this series, which make specific assumptions about the nature of the singularity atr=1, match numerical data for the infinite system to 1 part in 10⁴.     

On the derivation of the incompressible Mavier-Stokes equation for Hamiltonian particle systems

We consider a Hamiltonian paticle system interacting by means of a pair potetial. We look at the behavior of the system on a space scale of order ^-1, times of order ^-2 and mean velocities of order , with a scale parameter. Assuming that the phase space density of the particles is give by a series in (the analog of the Chapman-Enskog expansion), the behavior of the system under this rescaling is described, to the lowest order in , by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The viscosity is given in terms of microscopic correlations, and its expression agrees with the Green-Kubo formula.     

Exact exponent for the number of persistent spins in the zero-temperature dynamics of the one-dimensional Potts model

For the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics of theq-state Potts model, the fractionr(q, t) of spins which never flip up to timet decays like a power lawr(q, t)t ^–(q) when the initial condition is random. By mapping the problem onto an exactly soluble one-species coagulation model (A+AA) or alternatively by transforming the problem into a free-fermion model, we obtain the exact expression of (q) for all values ofq. The exponent (q) is in general irrational, (3)=0.53795082..., (4)=0.63151575..., ..., with the exception ofq=2 andq=, for which (2)=3/8 and ()=1.     

The occupation measure of super-Brownian motion conditioned to nonextinction

We study super-Brownian motion inR ^d starting from a nontrivial finite measure and conditioned to nonextinction as defined by Evans. If (Y _t ) _t0 denotes this process, we provide a new approach to the immortal particle representation of (Y _t ) _t0 . We then show that the measureZ onR ^d defined byZ(B)= _o ¹ Y _t (B) dt is almost surely finite on compact sets whend5 and almost surely infinite on every ball whend4.     

Determination of thermodynamic functions of sorption for cyclohexyl-, piperidyl-, morpholyl-, and thiomorpholyl-n-alkanes by capillary gas-liquid chromatography

The values of partial molar free energy (G), enthalpy (H), and entropy (S) of sorption in the homologous series ofN-alkylpiperidines,N-alkylmorpholines,N-alkyl thiomorpholines, and alkylcyclohexanes were determined. It was found that the free energy of sorption is determined to a greater extent by the enthalpy term than by the entropy one. The free energy of sorption of the first homolog decreases when then-alkyl chain is attached directly to the carbon atom of the cycle and increases in the case ofN-alkylsubstituted heterocycles. The influence of the heteroatom nature on intermolecular interactions of homologs with the nonpolar stationary phase was quantitatively estimated on the basis of thermodynamic data.Dead time necessary for calculation of the retention factor was determined by the retention of methane injected into the column simultaneously with the sample.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
