An efficient algorithm to generate large random uncorrelated Euclidean distances: the random link model
A disordered medium is often constructed by points independently and
identically distributed in a -dimensional hyperspace. Characteristics
related to the statistics of this system is known as the random point problem.
As , the distances between two points become independent random
variables, leading to its mean field description: the random link model. While
the numerical treatment of large random point problems pose no major
difficulty, the same is not true for large random link systems due to Euclidean
restrictions. Exploring the deterministic nature of the congruential
pseudo-random number generators, we present techniques which allow the
consideration of models with memory consumption of order O(N), instead of
in a naive implementation but with the same time dependence .Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures and 1 tabl
Distance statistics in random media: high dimension and/or high neighborhood order cases
Consider an unlimited homogeneous medium disturbed by points generated via
Poisson process. The neighborhood of a point plays an important role in spatial
statistics problems. Here, we obtain analytically the distance statistics to
th nearest neighbor in a -dimensional media. Next, we focus our attention
in high dimensionality and high neighborhood order limits. High dimensionality
makes distance distribution behavior as a delta sequence, with mean value equal
to Cerf's conjecture. Distance statistics in high neighborhood order converges
to a Gaussian distribution. The general distance statistics can be applied to
detect departures from Poissonian point distribution hypotheses as proposed by
Thompson and generalized here.Comment: 5 pages and 2 figure
