    Condensation phase transitions of symmetric conserved-mass aggregation model on complex networks

    Full text link
    We investigate condensation phase transitions of symmetric conserved-mass aggregation (SCA) model on random networks (RNs) and scale-free networks (SFNs) with degree distribution P(k)kγP(k) \sim k^{-\gamma}. In SCA model, masses diffuse with unite rate, and unit mass chips off from mass with rate ω\omega. The dynamics conserves total mass density ρ\rho. In the steady state, on RNs and SFNs with γ>3\gamma>3 for ω\omega \neq \infty, we numerically show that SCA model undergoes the same type condensation transitions as those on regular lattices. However the critical line ρc(ω)\rho_c (\omega) depends on network structures. On SFNs with γ3\gamma \leq 3, the fluid phase of exponential mass distribution completely disappears and no phase transitions occurs. Instead, the condensation with exponentially decaying background mass distribution always takes place for any non-zero density. For the existence of the condensed phase for γ3\gamma \leq 3 at the zero density limit, we investigate one lamb-lion problem on RNs and SFNs. We numerically show that a lamb survives indefinitely with finite survival probability on RNs and SFNs with γ>3\gamma >3, and dies out exponentially on SFNs with γ3\gamma \leq 3. The finite life time of a lamb on SFNs with γ3\gamma \leq 3 ensures the existence of the condensation at the zero density limit on SFNs with γ3\gamma \leq 3 at which direct numerical simulations are practically impossible. At ω=\omega = \infty, we numerically confirm that complete condensation takes place for any ρ>0\rho > 0 on RNs. Together with the recent study on SFNs, the complete condensation always occurs on both RNs and SFNs in zero range process with constant hopping rate.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

    Macrostructural analysis : unravelling polyphase glacitectonic histories

    Many Pleistocene glacial profiles look extremely simple, comprising till, or glacitectonite, overlying older sediments or bedrock (Figure 4.1). In more complex sequences the till may itself be overlain by younger sediments laid down as the ice retreated or during a completely separate, later phase of advance. Macroscopically, subglacial traction tills (Evans et al., 2007) are typically massive, unstructured deposits suggesting that it should be relatively straightforward to unravel the glacitectonic deformation history recorded by the sequence. Many reconstructions do indeed look very simple, slabs of sediment have been tilted and stacked and then overridden by the glacier to cap the structure with till. Added to this is the use of vertical exaggeration which makes the whole structure look like alpine tectonics (for an example see fig. 5 in van Gijssel, 1987). Dropping the exaggeration led to the recognition that actually we were looking at much more horizontal structures, i.e. overriding nappes and not imbricated slabs (van der Wateren, 1987). Traditionally (van der Meer, 1987) glaciotectonics was thought to relate to large structures like big push moraines and not to smaller structures like drag structures underneath tills (Figure 4.2), let alone to the tills themselves. With the notion that deforming bed tills are tectonically and not sedimentologically structured and could be regarded as tectomicts (Menzies et al., 2006), comes the realisation that glacitectonics happens across a wide range of scales, from the microscopic to tens of kilometres. Only by realising the full range of glaciotectonic scales can we hope to understand the processes

    An Algorithm to Simplify Tensor Expressions

    Get PDF
    The problem of simplifying tensor expressions is addressed in two parts. The first part presents an algorithm designed to put tensor expressions into a canonical form, taking into account the symmetries with respect to index permutations and the renaming of dummy indices. The tensor indices are split into classes and a natural place for them is defined. The canonical form is the closest configuration to the natural configuration. In the second part, the Groebner basis method is used to simplify tensor expressions which obey the linear identities that come from cyclic symmetries (or more general tensor identities, including non-linear identities). The algorithm is suitable for implementation in general purpose computer algebra systems. Some timings of an experimental implementation over the Riemann package are shown.Comment: 15 pages, Latex2e, submitted to Computer Physics Communications: Thematic Issue on "Computer Algebra in Physics Research

    Quantum Langevin theory of excess noise

    Full text link
    In an earlier work [P. J. Bardroff and S. Stenholm], we have derived a fully quantum mechanical description of excess noise in strongly damped lasers. This theory is used here to derive the corresponding quantum Langevin equations. Taking the semi-classical limit of these we are able to regain the starting point of Siegman's treatment of excess noise [Phys. Rev. A 39, 1253 (1989)]. Our results essentially constitute a quantum derivation of his theory and allow some generalizations.Comment: 9 pages, 0 figures, revte

    Superfluid-insulator transition of the Josephson junction array model with commensurate frustration

    Full text link
    We have studied the rationally frustrated Josephson-junction array model in the square lattice through Monte Carlo simulations of (2+1)(2+1)D XY-model. For frustration f=1/4f=1/4, the model at zero temperature shows a continuous superfluid-insulator transition. From the measurement of the correlation function and the superfluid stiffness, we obtain the dynamical critical exponent z=1.0z=1.0 and the correlation length critical exponent ν=0.4±0.05\nu=0.4 \pm 0.05. While the dynamical critical exponent is the same as that for cases f=0f=0, 1/2, and 1/3, the correlation length critical exponent is surprisingly quite different. When f=1/5f=1/5, we have the nature of a first-order transition.Comment: RevTex 4, to appear in PR

    The Parallel Persistent Memory Model

    Full text link
    We consider a parallel computational model that consists of PP processors, each with a fast local ephemeral memory of limited size, and sharing a large persistent memory. The model allows for each processor to fault with bounded probability, and possibly restart. On faulting all processor state and local ephemeral memory are lost, but the persistent memory remains. This model is motivated by upcoming non-volatile memories that are as fast as existing random access memory, are accessible at the granularity of cache lines, and have the capability of surviving power outages. It is further motivated by the observation that in large parallel systems, failure of processors and their caches is not unusual. Within the model we develop a framework for developing locality efficient parallel algorithms that are resilient to failures. There are several challenges, including the need to recover from failures, the desire to do this in an asynchronous setting (i.e., not blocking other processors when one fails), and the need for synchronization primitives that are robust to failures. We describe approaches to solve these challenges based on breaking computations into what we call capsules, which have certain properties, and developing a work-stealing scheduler that functions properly within the context of failures. The scheduler guarantees a time bound of O(W/PA+D(P/PA)log1/fW)O(W/P_A + D(P/P_A) \lceil\log_{1/f} W\rceil) in expectation, where WW and DD are the work and depth of the computation (in the absence of failures), PAP_A is the average number of processors available during the computation, and f1/2f \le 1/2 is the probability that a capsule fails. Within the model and using the proposed methods, we develop efficient algorithms for parallel sorting and other primitives.Comment: This paper is the full version of a paper at SPAA 2018 with the same nam

    Associated hyperon-kaon production via neutrino-nucleus scattering

    Full text link
    We present the investigation of the neutrino-induced strangeness associated production on nuclei in the relativistic plane wave impulse approximation (RPWIA) framework at the intermediate neutrino energies. In this study, the elementary hadronic weak amplitudes are embedded inside the nuclear medium for the description of the exclusive channels of neutrino-nucleus interactions. These amplitudes are extracted using a model-dependent evaluation of the hadronic vertex using the Born term approximation in which the application of the Cabibbo V-A theory and SU(3) symmetry are assumed to be valid. The nuclear effects are included via the bound state wavefunctions of the nucleon obtained from the relativistic mean field (RMF) models. Two kinematics settings are used to examine various distributions of the differential cross section in the rest frame of the target nuclei. The numerical results are obtained for the neutrino-induced charged-current (CC) \,K+Λ\rm K^{^+}\Lambda-production on bound neutrons in 1s1/21s^{1/2} and 1p3/21p^{3/2} orbitals of 12^{12}C. The angular distributions are forward peaked under both kinematic settings, whereas under the quasifree setting the cross sections tend mimic the missing momentum distribution of the bound nucleon inside the nucleus.Comment: This article is submitted to International Journal of Modern Physics E (nuclear physics) and accepted on 31 October 20l
