    Multi Channel Wave Transfer in Sparsely Connected Systems

    No full text
    Wave transport in finite systems connected through multiple channels is strongly influenced by inter channel correlations. Such correlations are induced by scattering and restrictions in the complex medium in which the waves propagate. Examples can be found in electron conduction in mesoscopic systems with multiple leads and in electromagnetic wave transfer in multi-antenna wireless communication. The influence of the correlations on the overall wave transport can be uncovered by analyzing the eigenvalue distributions of the transfer matrix between the ingoing and outgoing channels. A model system is studied experimentally in the microwave region where the correlation between sets of transmitting and receiving antennas are induced by connecting complex cavities through a limited number of leads. The eigenvalue distribution of this correlated multi channel system is described using random matrix theory

    Dynamic modelling of life table data

    No full text
    In this paper we formulate a dynamic model expressing the human life table data by using the firstā€passageā€time theory for a stochastic process. The model is derived analytically and then is applied to the mortality data in Belgium and France. A stochastic simulation is also performed for the ā€˜health state functionā€™ proposed and the related stochastic paths. Furthermore the implications of the proposed model and the results derived for pension funds and option theory are discussed.
