Generalized Fractal Kinetics in Complex Systems (Application to Biophysics and Biothechnology)
We derive a universal function for the kinetics of complex systems. This
kinetic function unifies and generalizes previous theoretical attempts to
describe what has been called "fractal kinetic".The concentration evolutionary
equation is formally similar to the relaxation function obtained in the
stochastic theory of relaxation, with two exponents a and n. The first one is
due to memory effects and short-range correlations and the second one finds its
origin in the long-range correlations and geometrical frustrations which give
rise to ageing behavior. These effects can be formally handled by introducing
adequate probability distributions for the rate coefficient. We show that the
distribution of rate coefficients is the consequence of local variations of the
free energy (energy landscape) appearing in the exponent of the Arrhenius
formula. We discuss briefly the relation of the (n,a) kinetic formalism with
the Tsallis theory of nonextensive systems.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physica
Vanishing Loss Effect on the Effective ac Conductivity behavior for 2D Composite Metal-Dielectric Films At The Percolation Threshold
We study the imaginary part of the effective conductivity as well as its
distribution probability for vanishing losses in 2D composites. This
investigation showed that the effective medium theory provides only
informations about the average conductivity, while its fluctuations which
correspond to the field energy in this limit are neglected by this theory.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.
