Vlasov scaling for stochastic dynamics of continuous systems
We describe a general scheme of derivation of the Vlasov-type equations for
Markov evolutions of particle systems in continuum. This scheme is based on a
proper scaling of corresponding Markov generators and has an algorithmic
realization in terms of related hierarchical chains of correlation functions
equations. Several examples of the realization of the proposed approach in
particular models are presented.Comment: 23 page
Diffusion approximation for equilibrium Kawasaki dynamics in continuum
A Kawasaki dynamics in continuum is a dynamics of an infinite system of
interacting particles in which randomly hop over the space. In
this paper, we deal with an equilibrium Kawasaki dynamics which has a Gibbs
measure as invariant measure. We study a diffusive limit of such a
dynamics, derived through a scaling of both the jump rate and time. Under weak
assumptions on the potential of pair interaction, , (in particular,
admitting a singularity of at zero), we prove that, on a set of smooth
local functions, the generator of the scaled dynamics converges to the
generator of the gradient stochastic dynamics. If the set on which the
generators converge is a core for the diffusion generator, the latter result
implies the weak convergence of finite-dimensional distributions of the
corresponding equilibrium processes. In particular, if the potential is
from and sufficiently quickly converges to zero
at infinity, we conclude the convergence of the processes from a result in

Review of overall parameters of giant radio pulses from the Crab pulsar and B1937+21
We present a review of observed parameters of giant radio pulses, based on
the observations conducted by our group during recent years. The observations
cover a broad frequency range of about 3 octaves, concentrating between 600 and
4850 MHz. Giant pulses of both the Crab pulsar and the millisecond pulsar
B1937+21 were studied with the 70-m Tidbinbilla, the 100-m GBT, 64-m Kalyazin
and Westerbork radio telescopes. We discuss pulse energy distribution,
dependence of peak flux density from the pulse width, peculiarities of radio
spectra, and polarization properties of giant radio pulses.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, to be published in the Proceedings of the
