Lookahead Strategies for Sequential Monte Carlo
Based on the principles of importance sampling and resampling, sequential
Monte Carlo (SMC) encompasses a large set of powerful techniques dealing with
complex stochastic dynamic systems. Many of these systems possess strong
memory, with which future information can help sharpen the inference about the
current state. By providing theoretical justification of several existing
algorithms and introducing several new ones, we study systematically how to
construct efficient SMC algorithms to take advantage of the "future"
information without creating a substantially high computational burden. The
main idea is to allow for lookahead in the Monte Carlo process so that future
information can be utilized in weighting and generating Monte Carlo samples, or
resampling from samples of the current state.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/12-STS401 the Statistical

Generation of Two-Flavor Vortex Atom Laser from a Five-State Medium
Two-flavor atom laser in a vortex state is obtained and analyzed via
electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technique in a five-level
type system by using two probe lights with -directional orbital angular
momentum , respectively. Together with the original transfer
technique of quantum states from light to matter waves, the present result can
be extended to generate continuous two-flavor vortex atom laser with
non-classical atoms.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure; The previous version (v2) is a wrong one; this is

Dynamics of Domain Wall in a Biaxial Ferromagnet With Spin-torque
The dynamics of the domain wall (DW) in a biaxial ferromagnet interacting
with a spin-polarized current are described by sine-gordon (SG) equation
coupled with Gilbert damping term in this paper. Within our frame-work of this
model, we obtain a threshold of the current in the motion of a single DW with
the perturbation theory on kink soliton solution to the corresponding
ferromagnetic system, and the threshold is shown to be dependent on the Gilbert
damping term. Also, the motion properties of the DW are discussed for the zero-
and nonzero-damping cases, which shows that our theory to describe the dynamics
of the DW are self-consistent.Comment: 7pages, 3figure
