A hunter-gatherer-farmer population model: Lie symmetries, exact solutions and their interpretation
The Lie symmetry classification of the known three-component
reaction-diffusion system modelling the spread of an initially localized
population of farmers into a region occupied by hunter-gatherers is derived.
The Lie symmetries obtained for reducing the system in question to systems of
ODEs and constructing exact solutions are applied. Several exact solutions of
traveling front type are found, their properties are identified and biological
interpretation is discussed
Analytical description of the coherent structures within the hyperbolic generalization of Burgers equation
We present new periodic, kink-like and soliton-like travelling wave solutions
to the hyperbolic generalization of Burgers equation. To obtain them, we employ
the classical and generalized symmetry methods and the ansatz-based approachComment: 12 pages, 8 figure
Exact Solution of the Hyperbolic Generalization of Burgers Equation, Describing Travelling Fronts and their Interaction
We present new analytical solutions to the hyperbolic generalization of
Burgers equation, describing interaction of the wave fronts. To obtain them, we
employ a modified version of the Hirota method.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Closed-Form Solutions for a Nonlinear Partial Differential Equation Arising in the Study of a Fourth Grade Fluid Model
The unsteady unidirectional flow of an incompressible fourth grade fluid bounded by a suddenly moved rigid plate is studied. The governing nonlinear higher order partial differential equation for this flow in a semiinfinite domain is modelled. Translational symmetries in variables and are employed to construct two different classes of closed-form travelling wave solutions of the model equation. A conditional symmetry solution of the model equation is also obtained. The physical behavior and the properties of various interesting flow parameters on the structure of the velocity are presented and discussed. In particular, the significance of the rheological effects are mentioned
Oseledets' Splitting of Standard-like Maps
For the class of differentiable maps of the plane and, in particular, for
standard-like maps (McMillan form), a simple relation is shown between the
directions of the local invariant manifolds of a generic point and its
contribution to the finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) of the associated
orbit. By computing also the point-wise curvature of the manifolds, we produce
a comparative study between local Lyapunov exponent, manifold's curvature and
splitting angle between stable/unstable manifolds. Interestingly, the analysis
of the Chirikov-Taylor standard map suggests that the positive contributions to
the FTLE average mostly come from points of the orbit where the structure of
the manifolds is locally hyperbolic: where the manifolds are flat and
transversal, the one-step exponent is predominantly positive and large; this
behaviour is intended in a purely statistical sense, since it exhibits large
deviations. Such phenomenon can be understood by analytic arguments which, as a
by-product, also suggest an explicit way to point-wise approximate the
splitting.Comment: 17 pages, 11 figure
Quantum Field Theory for the Three-Body Constrained Lattice Bose Gas -- Part I: Formal Developments
We develop a quantum field theoretical framework to analytically study the
three-body constrained Bose-Hubbard model beyond mean field and non-interacting
spin wave approximations. It is based on an exact mapping of the constrained
model to a theory with two coupled bosonic degrees of freedom with polynomial
interactions, which have a natural interpretation as single particles and
two-particle states. The procedure can be seen as a proper quantization of the
Gutzwiller mean field theory. The theory is conveniently evaluated in the
framework of the quantum effective action, for which the usual symmetry
principles are now supplemented with a ``constraint principle'' operative on
short distances. We test the theory via investigation of scattering properties
of few particles in the limit of vanishing density, and we address the
complementary problem in the limit of maximum filling, where the low lying
excitations are holes and di-holes on top of the constraint induced insulator.
This is the first of a sequence of two papers. The application of the formalism
to the many-body problem, which can be realized with atoms in optical lattices
with strong three-body loss, is performed in a related work [14].Comment: 21 pages, 5 figure
An entropic approach to local realism and noncontextuality
For any Bell locality scenario (or Kochen-Specker noncontextuality scenario),
the joint Shannon entropies of local (or noncontextual) models define a convex
cone for which the non-trivial facets are tight entropic Bell (or
contextuality) inequalities. In this paper we explore this entropic approach
and derive tight entropic inequalities for various scenarios. One advantage of
entropic inequalities is that they easily adapt to situations like bilocality
scenarios, which have additional independence requirements that are non-linear
on the level of probabilities, but linear on the level of entropies. Another
advantage is that, despite the nonlinearity, taking detection inefficiencies
into account turns out to be very simple. When joint measurements are conducted
by a single detector only, the detector efficiency for witnessing quantum
contextuality can be arbitrarily low.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, minor mistakes correcte
