Competition between Two Kinds of Correlations in Literary Texts
A theory of additive Markov chains with long-range memory is used for
description of correlation properties of coarse-grained literary texts. The
complex structure of the correlations in texts is revealed. Antipersistent
correlations at small distances, L 300 define
this nontrivial structure. For some concrete examples of literary texts, the
memory functions are obtained and their power-law behavior at long distances is
disclosed. This property is shown to be a cause of self-similarity of texts
with respect to the decimation procedure.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, Submitted to Physica
Parallel Algorithm and Dynamic Exponent for Diffusion-limited Aggregation
A parallel algorithm for ``diffusion-limited aggregation'' (DLA) is described
and analyzed from the perspective of computational complexity. The dynamic
exponent z of the algorithm is defined with respect to the probabilistic
parallel random-access machine (PRAM) model of parallel computation according
to , where L is the cluster size, T is the running time, and the
algorithm uses a number of processors polynomial in L\@. It is argued that
z=D-D_2/2, where D is the fractal dimension and D_2 is the second generalized
dimension. Simulations of DLA are carried out to measure D_2 and to test
scaling assumptions employed in the complexity analysis of the parallel
algorithm. It is plausible that the parallel algorithm attains the minimum
possible value of the dynamic exponent in which case z characterizes the
intrinsic history dependence of DLA.Comment: 24 pages Revtex and 2 figures. A major improvement to the algorithm
and smaller dynamic exponent in this versio
Stability of Coalescence Hidden variable Fractal Interpolation Surfaces
In the present paper, the stability of Coalescence Hidden variable Fractal
Interpolation Surfaces(CHFIS) is established. The estimates on error in
approximation of the data generating function by CHFIS are found when there is
a perturbation in independent, dependent and hidden variables. It is proved
that any small perturbation in any of the variables of generalized
interpolation data results in only small perturbation of CHFIS. Our results are
likely to be useful in investigations of texture of surfaces arising from the
simulation of surfaces of rocks, sea surfaces, clouds and similar natural
objects wherein the generating function depends on more than one variable
Phase synchronization from noisy univariate signals
We present methods for detecting phase synchronization of two
unidirectionally coupled, self-sustained noisy oscillators from a signal of the
driven oscillator alone. One method detects soft, another hard phase locking.
Both are applied to the problem of detecting phase synchronization in von
Karman vortex flow meters.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Inverse Anticipating Synchronization
We report a new type of chaos synchronization:inverse anticipating
synchronization, where a time delay chaotic system can drive another system in
such a way that the driven system anticipates the driver by synchronizing with
its inverse future state. We extend the concept of inverse anticipating chaos
synchronization to cascaded systems. We propose means for the experimental
observation of inverse anticipating chaos synchronization in external cavity
lasers.Comment: LaTex 6 pages, resubmitted to PR
