    Average values of functionals and concentration without measure

    Full text link
    Although there doesn't exist the Lebesgue measure in the ball MM of C[0,1]C[0,1] with pp-norm, the average values (expectation) EYEY and variance DYDY of some functionals YY on MM can still be defined through the procedure of limitation from finite dimension to infinite dimension. In particular, the probability densities of coordinates of points in the ball MM exist and are derived out even though the density of points in MM doesn't exist. These densities include high order normal distribution, high order exponent distribution. This also can be considered as the geometrical origins of these probability distributions. Further, the exact values (which is represented in terms of finite dimensional integral) of a kind of infinite-dimensional functional integrals are obtained, and specially the variance DYDY is proven to be zero, and then the nonlinear exchange formulas of average values of functionals are also given. Instead of measure, the variance is used to measure the deviation of functional from its average value. DY=0DY=0 means that a functional takes its average on a ball with probability 1 by using the language of probability theory, and this is just the concentration without measure. In addition, we prove that the average value depends on the discretization.Comment: 32 page

    Basic theory of a class of linear functional differential equations with multiplication delay

    Full text link
    By introducing a kind of special functions namely exponent-like function, cosine-like function and sine-like function, we obtain explicitly the basic structures of solutions of initial value problem at the original point for this kind of linear pantograph equations. In particular, we get the complete results on the existence, uniqueness and non-uniqueness of the initial value problems at a general point for the kind of linear pantograph equations.Comment: 44 pages, no figure.

    Infinite-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi theory and LL-integrability

    Full text link
    The classical Liouvile integrability means that there exist nn independent first integrals in involution for 2n2n-dimensional phase space. However, in the infinite-dimensional case, an infinite number of independent first integrals in involution don't indicate that the system is solvable. How many first integrals do we need in order to make the system solvable? To answer the question, we obtain an infinite dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi theory, and prove an infinite dimensional Liouville theorem. Based on the theorem, we give a modified definition of the Liouville integrability in infinite dimension. We call it the LL-integrability. As examples, we prove that the string vibration equation and the KdV equation are LL-integrable. In general, we show that an infinite number of integrals is complete if all action variables of a Hamilton system can reconstructed by the set of first integrals.Comment: 13 page

    Transient behavior of the solutions to the second order difference equations by the renormalization method based on Newton-Maclaurin expansion

    Full text link
    The renormalization method based on the Newton-Maclaurin expansion is applied to study the transient behavior of the solutions to the difference equations as they tend to the steady-states. The key and also natural step is to make the renormalization equations to be continuous such that the elementary functions can be used to describe the transient behavior of the solutions to difference equations. As the concrete examples, we deal with the important second order nonlinear difference equations with a small parameter. The result shows that the method is more natural than the multi-scale method.Comment: 12 page

    The renormalization method from continuous to discrete dynamical systems: asymptotic solutions, reductions and invariant manifolds

    Full text link
    The renormalization method based on the Taylor expansion for asymptotic analysis of differential equations is generalized to difference equations. The proposed renormalization method is based on the Newton-Maclaurin expansion. Several basic theorems on the renormalization method are proven. Some interesting applications are given, including asymptotic solutions of quantum anharmonic oscillator and discrete boundary layer, the reductions and invariant manifolds of some discrete dynamics systems. Furthermore, the homotopy renormalization method based on the Newton-Maclaurin expansion is proposed and applied to those difference equations including no a small parameter.Comment: 24 pages.arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1605.0288

    The geometrical origins of some distributions and the complete concentration of measure phenomenon for mean-values of functionals

    Full text link
    We derive out naturally some important distributions such as high order normal distributions and high order exponent distributions and the Gamma distribution from a geometrical way. Further, we obtain the exact mean-values of integral form functionals in the balls of continuous functions space with pp-norm, and show the complete concentration of measure phenomenon which means that a functional takes its average on a ball with probability 1, from which we have nonlinear exchange formula of expectation.Comment: 8 page

    Dynamical properties of two electrons confined in a line shape three quantum dot molecules driven by an ac-field

    Full text link
    Using the three-site Hubbard model and Floquet theorem, we investigate the dynamical behaviors of two electrons which are confined in a line-shape three quantum dot molecule driven by an AC electric field. Because the Hamiltonian contains no spin-flip terms, the six- dimension singlet state and nine-dimensional triplet state sub-spaces are decoupled and can be discussed respectively. In particular, the nine-dimensional triplet state sub-spaces can also be divided into 3 three-dimensional state sub-spaces which are fully decoupled. The analysis shows that the Hamiltonian in each three-dimensional triplet state sub-space, as well as the singlet state sub-space for the no double-occupancy case, has the same form similar to that of the driven two electrons in two-quantum-dot molecule. Through solving the time-dependent Sch\"odinger equation, we investigate the dynamical properties in the singlet state sub-space, and find that the two electrons can maintain their initial localized state driven by an appropriately ac-field. Particularly, we find that the electron interaction enhances the dynamical localization effect. The use of both perturbation analytic and numerical approach to solve the Floquet function leads to a detail understanding of this effect.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures.

    Weighted Community Detection and Data Clustering Using Message Passing

    Full text link
    Grouping objects into clusters based on similarities or weights between them is one of the most important problems in science and engineering. In this work, by extending message passing algorithms and spectral algorithms proposed for unweighted community detection problem, we develop a non-parametric method based on statistical physics, by mapping the problem to Potts model at the critical temperature of spin glass transition and applying belief propagation to solve the marginals corresponding to the Boltzmann distribution. Our algorithm is robust to over-fitting and gives a principled way to determine whether there are significant clusters in the data and how many clusters there are. We apply our method to different clustering tasks and use extensive numerical experiments to illustrate the advantage of our method over existing algorithms. In the community detection problem in weighted and directed networks, we show that our algorithm significantly outperforms existing algorithms. In the clustering problem when the data was generated by mixture models in the sparse regime we show that our method works to the theoretical limit of detectability and gives accuracy very close to that of the optimal Bayesian inference. In the semi-supervised clustering problem, our method only needs several labels to work perfectly in classic datasets. Finally, we further develop Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equations which reduce heavily the computation complexity in dense-networks but gives almost the same performance as belief propagation.Comment: 21 pages, 13 figures, to appear in Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experimen

    Fermionic algebraic quantum spin liquid in an octa-kagome frustrated antiferromagnet

    Full text link
    We investigate the ground state and finite-temperature properties of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on an infinite octa-kagome lattice by utilizing state-of-the-art tensor network-based numerical methods. It is shown that the ground state has a vanishing local magnetization and possesses a 1/21/2-magnetization plateau with up-down-up-up spin configuration. A quantum phase transition at the critical coupling ratio Jd/Jt=0.6J_{d}/J_{t}=0.6 is found. When 0<Jd/Jt<0.60<J_{d}/J_{t}<0.6, the system is in a valence bond state, where an obvious zero-magnetization plateau is observed, implying a gapful spin excitation; when Jd/Jt>0.6J_{d}/J_{t}>0.6, the system exhibits a gapless excitation, in which the dimer-dimer correlation is found decaying in a power law, while the spin-spin and chiral-chiral correlation functions decay exponentially. At the isotropic point (Jd/Jt=1J_{d}/J_{t}=1), we unveil that at low temperature (TT) the specific heat depends linearly on TT, and the susceptibility tends to a constant for T0T\rightarrow 0, giving rise to a Wilson ratio around unity, implying that the system under interest is a fermionic algebraic quantum spin liquid.Comment: 9 pages, 13 figure

    T1rho Fractional-order Relaxation of Human Articular Cartilage

    Full text link
    T1rho imaging is a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for early detection of articular cartilage degeneration. A mono-exponential model is normally used to describe the T1rho relaxation process. However, mono-exponentials may not adequately to describe NMR relaxation in complex, heterogeneous, and anisotropic materials, such as articular cartilage. Fractional-order models have been used successfully to describe complex relaxation phenomena in the laboratory frame in cartilage matrix components. In this paper, we develop a time-fractional order (T-FACT) model for T1rho fitting in human articular cartilage. Representative results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to fit the experimental data with smaller root mean squared error than the one from conventional mono-exponential relaxation model in human articular cartilage.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Accepted for publication at the 41st International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (IEEE EMBC 2019
