Comparing holographic dark energy models with statefinder
We apply the statefinder diagnostic to the holographic dark energy models,
including the original holographic dark energy (HDE) model, the new holographic
dark energy model, the new agegraphic dark energy (NADE) model, and the Ricci
dark energy model. In the low-redshift region the holographic dark energy
models are degenerate with each other and with the CDM model in the
and evolutions. In particular, the HDE model is highly degenerate
with the CDM model, and in the HDE model the cases with different
parameter values are also in strong degeneracy. Since the observational data
are mainly within the low-redshift region, it is very important to break this
low-redshift degeneracy in the and diagnostics by using some
quantities with higher order derivatives of the scale factor. It is shown that
the statefinder diagnostic is very useful in breaking the low-redshift
degeneracies. By employing the statefinder diagnostic the holographic dark
energy models can be differentiated efficiently in the low-redshift region. The
degeneracy between the holographic dark energy models and the CDM
model can also be broken by this method. Especially for the HDE model, all the
previous strong degeneracies appearing in the and diagnostics are
broken effectively. But for the NADE model, the degeneracy between the cases
with different parameter values cannot be broken, even though the statefinder
diagnostic is used. A direct comparison of the holographic dark energy models
in the -- plane is also made, in which the separations between the models
(including the CDM model) can be directly measured in the light of the
current values of the models.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures; accepted by European Physical Journal C; matching

Graphical rule of transforming continuous-variable graph states by local homodyne detection
Graphical rule, describing that any single-mode homodyne detection turns a
given continuous-variable (CV) graph state into a new one, is presented.
Employing two simple graphical rules: local complement operation and vertex
deletion (single quadrature-amplitude measurement), the graphical
rule for any single-mode quadrature component measurement can be obtained. The
shape of CV weighted graph state may be designed and constructed easily from a
given larger graph state by applying this graphical rule.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
A Literature Survey of Cooperative Caching in Content Distribution Networks
Content distribution networks (CDNs) which serve to deliver web objects
(e.g., documents, applications, music and video, etc.) have seen tremendous
growth since its emergence. To minimize the retrieving delay experienced by a
user with a request for a web object, caching strategies are often applied -
contents are replicated at edges of the network which is closer to the user
such that the network distance between the user and the object is reduced. In
this literature survey, evolution of caching is studied. A recent research
paper [15] in the field of large-scale caching for CDN was chosen to be the
anchor paper which serves as a guide to the topic. Research studies after and
relevant to the anchor paper are also analyzed to better evaluate the
statements and results of the anchor paper and more importantly, to obtain an
unbiased view of the large scale collaborate caching systems as a whole.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
