Stability Boundaries for Resonant Migrating Planet Pairs

Convergent migration allows pairs of planet to become trapped into mean motion resonances. Once in resonance, the planets' eccentricities grow to an equilibrium value that depends on the ratio of migration time scale to the eccentricity damping timescale, $K=\tau_a/\tau_e$, with higher values of equilibrium eccentricity for lower values of $K$. For low equilibrium eccentricities, $e_{eq}\propto K^{-1/2}$. The stability of a planet pair depends on eccentricity so the system can become unstable before it reaches its equilibrium eccentricity. Using a resonant overlap criterion that takes into account the role of first and second order resonances and depends on eccentricity, we find a function $K_{min}(\mu_p, j)$ that defines the lowest value for $K$, as a function of the ratio of total planet mass to stellar mass ($\mu_p$) and the period ratio of the resonance defined as $P_1/P_2=j/(j+k)$, that allows two convergently migrating planets to remain stable in resonance at their equilibrium eccentricities. We scaled the functions $K_{min}$ for each resonance of the same order into a single function $K_c$. The function $K_{c}$ for planet pairs in first order resonances is linear with increasing planet mass and quadratic for pairs in second order resonances with a coefficient depending on the relative migration rate and strongly on the planet to planet mass ratio. The linear relation continues until the mass approaches a critical mass defined by the 2/7 resonance overlap instability law and $K_c \to \infty$. We compared our analytic boundary with an observed sample of resonant two planet systems. All but one of the first order resonant planet pair systems found by radial velocity measurements are well inside the stability region estimated by this model. We calculated $K_c$ for Kepler systems without well-constrained eccentricities and found only weak constraints on $K$.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure

The Acquisition of Free Morpheme by a Two-year Old Indonesian Child

The aim of this study was to describe types and how of the free morpheme uttered by a two-year-old Indonesian Child. It was a qualitative research design which was observed with a single case study. The instruments used were observation and interview. The researcher observed the subject for two months where conversation in diffrent contexts in daily activities took place.The data collected were the utterances produced by the subject in diffrent context and interview. The data were analyzed by using the theory of language acquisition and free morpheme. The results of this study were: (1) the two types of free morpheme namely lexical and function word were uttered by the subject in his daily activities in diffrent context. (2) the using of free morpheme occured analysis were: saying statement, refusing advise, saying dislike, asking gift, refusing comment, asking question, and the last is avoiding quarrel. The using of free morpheme based on the speaker\u27s backgruond analysis was internded to be used for the interaction in community

The Likelihood Encoder for Lossy Source Compression

In this work, a likelihood encoder is studied in the context of lossy source compression. The analysis of the likelihood encoder is based on a soft-covering lemma. It is demonstrated that the use of a likelihood encoder together with the soft-covering lemma gives alternative achievability proofs for classical source coding problems. The case of the rate-distortion function with side information at the decoder (i.e. the Wyner-Ziv problem) is carefully examined and an application of the likelihood encoder to the multi-terminal source coding inner bound (i.e. the Berger-Tung region) is outlined.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, ISIT 201

A Bit of Secrecy for Gaussian Source Compression

In this paper, the compression of an independent and identically distributed Gaussian source sequence is studied in an unsecure network. Within a game theoretic setting for a three-party noiseless communication network (sender Alice, legitimate receiver Bob, and eavesdropper Eve), the problem of how to efficiently compress a Gaussian source with limited secret key in order to guarantee that Bob can reconstruct with high fidelity while preventing Eve from estimating an accurate reconstruction is investigated. It is assumed that Alice and Bob share a secret key with limited rate. Three scenarios are studied, in which the eavesdropper ranges from weak to strong in terms of the causal side information she has. It is shown that one bit of secret key per source symbol is enough to achieve perfect secrecy performance in the Gaussian squared error setting, and the information theoretic region is not optimized by joint Gaussian random variables

A Rate-Distortion Based Secrecy System with Side Information at the Decoders

A secrecy system with side information at the decoders is studied in the context of lossy source compression over a noiseless broadcast channel. The decoders have access to different side information sequences that are correlated with the source. The fidelity of the communication to the legitimate receiver is measured by a distortion metric, as is traditionally done in the Wyner-Ziv problem. The secrecy performance of the system is also evaluated under a distortion metric. An achievable rate-distortion region is derived for the general case of arbitrarily correlated side information. Exact bounds are obtained for several special cases in which the side information satisfies certain constraints. An example is considered in which the side information sequences come from a binary erasure channel and a binary symmetric channel.Comment: 8 pages. Allerton 201

Joint Source-Channel Secrecy Using Hybrid Coding

The secrecy performance of a source-channel model is studied in the context of lossy source compression over a noisy broadcast channel. The source is causally revealed to the eavesdropper during decoding. The fidelity of the transmission to the legitimate receiver and the secrecy performance at the eavesdropper are both measured by a distortion metric. Two achievability schemes using the technique of hybrid coding are analyzed and compared with an operationally separate source-channel coding scheme. A numerical example is provided and the comparison results show that the hybrid coding schemes outperform the operationally separate scheme.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, ISIT 201

The Likelihood Encoder for Lossy Compression

A likelihood encoder is studied in the context of lossy source compression. The analysis of the likelihood encoder is based on the soft-covering lemma. It is demonstrated that the use of a likelihood encoder together with the soft-covering lemma yields simple achievability proofs for classical source coding problems. The cases of the point-to-point rate-distortion function, the rate-distortion function with side information at the decoder (i.e. the Wyner-Ziv problem), and the multi-terminal source coding inner bound (i.e. the Berger-Tung problem) are examined in this paper. Furthermore, a non-asymptotic analysis is used for the point-to-point case to examine the upper bound on the excess distortion provided by this method. The likelihood encoder is also related to a recent alternative technique using properties of random binning
