Steady state distribution functions can be used to calculate stability conditions for modes, radiation energy losses, and particle loss rates. Heuristic analytic approximations to these distributions can capture key behaviors of the true…
In this paper we develop a general framework for constructing and analysing coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers, allowing for both (possibly degenerate) diffusion and piecewise deterministic Markov processes. For many performance…

By looking at the parity-nonconserving (PNC) asymmetries at different energies in $\vec{p} p$ scattering, it is in principle possible to determine the PNC $\rho NN$ and $\omega NN$ couplings of a single-meson-exchange model of the PNC $NN$…
We derive new results comparing the asymptotic variance of diffusions by writing them as appropriate limits of discrete-time birth-death chains which themselves satisfy Peskun orderings. We then apply our results to simulated tempering…
