Multiple scattering in random media I. Restricted two-body additive approximation

We present a microscopic theory of the problem of finding the properties of a particle interacting with potentials located at random sites. The sites are governed by a general probability distribution. The starting point is the multiple scattering equations for the amplitude k ₁|T |k ₂ in terms of the individual scattering amplitudes k ₁|T |k ₂. We work with quantitiesA defined by k ₁|T |k ₂=k ₁|T |k ₂exp[i(k ₁–k ₂)R ]. The theory is based on a splitting of the fundamental equation forA into equations for the mean A and the fluctuationsAA . Neglect of the fluctuations yields the quasicrystalline approximation. We rearrange the equation forAA to isolate the collective part of the fluctuations. We then make the simplest microscopic truncation which is thatAA is a restricted two-body additive function of the site positions. With the contribution of the collective fluctuations, this yields results forA that are accurate to ordert ⁴.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Contract No. NSF DMRWork supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Contract No. NSF DMR     

Random walk in an inhomogeneous medium with local impurities

In spite of Sinai's result that the decay of the velocity autocorrelation function for a random walk on ^d (d=2) can drastically change if local impurities are present, it is shown that local impurities can not abolish weak convergence to the Brownian motion if d2.     

Properties of the random search in global optimization

From theorems which we prove about the behavior of gaps in a set ofN uniformly random points on the interval [0, 1], we determine properties of the random search procedure in one-dimensional global optimization. In particular, we show that the uniform grid search is better than the random search when the optimum is chosen using the deterministic strategy, that a significant proportion of large gaps are contained in the uniformly random search, and that the error in the determination of the point at which the optimum occurs, assuming that it is unique, will on the average be twice as large using the uniformly random search compared with the uniform grid. In addition, some of the properties of the largest gap are verified numerically, and some extensions to higher dimensions are discussed. The latter show that not all of the conclusions derived concerning the inadequacies of the one-dimensional random search extend to higher dimensions, and thaton average the random search is better than the uniform grid for dimensions greater than 6.This paper is based on work started in the Statistics Department of Princeton University when the first author was visiting as a Research Associate.

关于随机环境分枝过程混合重组的一个注记

给定一个繁衍概率母函数均值待定的两状态独立同分布随机环境分枝过程,证明了若该随机环境分枝过程是下临界的,则通过适当选择其繁衍概率母函数均值的取值后,它的两个独立复制过程总能够混合重组为一个上临界随机环境分枝过程;但反之,若该随机环境分枝过程是上临界的,则它的两个独立复制过程不一定总能够混合重组为一个下临界随机环境分枝过程。
