    Probability Theory Compatible with the New Conception of Modern Thermodynamics. Economics and Crisis of Debts

    Full text link
    We show that G\"odel's negative results concerning arithmetic, which date back to the 1930s, and the ancient "sand pile" paradox (known also as "sorites paradox") pose the questions of the use of fuzzy sets and of the effect of a measuring device on the experiment. The consideration of these facts led, in thermodynamics, to a new one-parameter family of ideal gases. In turn, this leads to a new approach to probability theory (including the new notion of independent events). As applied to economics, this gives the correction, based on Friedman's rule, to Irving Fisher's "Main Law of Economics" and enables us to consider the theory of debt crisis.Comment: 48p., 14 figs., 82 refs.; more precise mathematical explanations are added. arXiv admin note: significant text overlap with arXiv:1111.610

    On the superfluidity of classical liquid in nanotubes

    In 2001, the author proposed the ultra second quantization method. The ultra second quantization of the Schr\"odinger equation, as well as its ordinary second quantization, is a representation of the N-particle Schr\"odinger equation, and this means that basically the ultra second quantization of the equation is the same as the original N-particle equation: they coincide in 3N-dimensional space. We consider a short action pairwise potential V(x_i -x_j). This means that as the number of particles tends to infinity, NN\to\infty, interaction is possible for only a finite number of particles. Therefore, the potential depends on N in the following way: VN=V((xixj)N1/3)V_N=V((x_i-x_j)N^{1/3}). If V(y) is finite with support ΩV\Omega_V, then as NN\to\infty the support engulfs a finite number of particles, and this number does not depend on N. As a result, it turns out that the superfluidity occurs for velocities less than min(λcrit,h2mR)\min(\lambda_{\text{crit}}, \frac{h}{2mR}), where λcrit\lambda_{\text{crit}} is the critical Landau velocity and R is the radius of the nanotube.Comment: Latex, 20p.

    Derivation of the Gutenberg-Richter Empirical Formula from the Solution of the Generalized Logistic Equation

    Full text link
    We have written a new equation to study the statistics of earthquake distributions. We call this equation "the generalized logistic equation". The Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude formula was derived from the solution of the generalized logistic equation as an asymptotic case in approximation of large magnitudes. To illustrate how the found solution of the generalized logistic equation works, it was used to approximate the observed cumulative distribution of earthquakes in four different geological provinces: the Central Atlantic (40N-25N, 5W-35W), Canary Islands, Magellan Mountains (20N-9S, 148E-170E), and the Sea of Japan. This approximation showed the excellent fit between the theoretical curves and observed data for earthquake magnitudes 1<m<9.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, 8 references.
