We show that the reasoning which led the author of arXiv:1310.6252 to reach his conclusions relies on an incorrect criterion for the existence of normalizable bound solutions. We reinforce that the general result derived in the Appendix of…
The development of reliable methods for estimating microcanonical averages constitutes an important issue in statistical mechanics. One possibility consists of calculating a given microcanonical quantity by means of typical relations in the…
A simple model of particle creation and annihilation in an isolated assembly of particles with conserved energy and fixed volume, the Cell Model, is formulated. With increasing time, particle number distribution, obtained by averaging over…
The present work shows that essentially all small-amplitude periodic traveling waves of the electronic Euler-Poisson system are spectrally unstable. This instability is neither modulational nor co-periodic, and thus requires an unusual…
We calculate the corrections due to noncommutativity of space on the Hamiltonian and then partition function of the canonical ensemble. We study some basic features of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics including equipartition and…
We give sufficient conditions such that the exponential stability of the linearization of a non-linear system implies that the non-linear system is (locally) exponentially stable. One of these conditions is that the non-linear system is…
We consider the hydrodynamics of an incompressible fluid on a 2D periodic domain. There exists a family of stationary solutions with vorticity given by $\Omega^*=\alpha\cos (\mathbf{p} \cdot \mathbf{x} )+\beta \sin (\mathbf{p} \cdot…
In how far does an non-equilibrium initial ensemble evolve towards a stationary long time behavior for an isolated macroscopic quantum system? We demonstrate that deviations from a steady state indeed become unmeasurably small or…
We show that the stabilization of any countable ergodic p.m.p. equivalence relation which is not Schmidt, i.e. admits no central sequences in its full group, always gives rise to a stable equivalence relation with a unique stable…
The stability of the recently discovered compacton solutions is studied by means of both linear stability analysis as well as Lyapunov stability criteria. From the results obtained it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton…
The Fourier dimension is not in general stable under finite unions of sets. Moreover, the stability of the Fourier dimension on particular pairs of sets is independent from the stability of the compact Fourier dimension.
Let us say that a discrete countable group is stable if it has an ergodic, free, probability-measure-preserving and stable action. Let G be a discrete countable group with a central subgroup C. We present a sufficient condition and a…
In this paper, we consider the equivalence of the $p$th moment exponential stability for stochastic differential equations (SDEs), stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments (SDEPCAs) and the corresponding…
Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble. Classically this is the manifold of all points in the N-body phase space with the given total energy. Due to Boltzmann's principle,…
This paper addresses the variational multiscale stabilization of standard finite element methods for linear partial differential equations that exhibit multiscale features. The stabilization is of Petrov-Galerkin type with a standard finite…
Equilibrium statistics of finite Hamiltonian systems is fundamentally described by the microcanonical ensemble (ME). Canonical, or grand-canonical partition functions are deduced from this by Laplace transform. Only in the thermodynamic…
For more than 100 years, one of the central concepts in statistical mechanics has been the microcanonical ensemble, which provides a way of calculating the thermodynamic entropy for a specified energy. A controversy has recently emerged…
We consider whether ergodic Markov chains with bounded step size remain bounded in probability when their transitions are modified by an adversary on a bounded subset. We provide counterexamples to show that the answer is no in general, and…
Monte Carlo simulations have boosted the numerical study of several different physical systems and in particular, the canonical ensemble has been especially useful because of the existence of easy and efficient relaxation algorithms…
Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble, whereas canonical ones fail in the most interesting, mostly inhomogeneous, situations like phase separations or away from the thermodynamic…
