We consider a perturbed ordinary differential equation where the perturbation is only significant when a one-dimensional null recurrent diffusion is close to zero. We investigate the first order correction to the unperturbed system and…
Our study of the energy distribution has shown that the strength of the first order transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory decreases when the coupling $\lambda$ of the monopole term increases. The disappearance…
The derivation of the effective theory for the phase degrees of freedom in a superconductor is still, to some extent, an open issue. It is commonly assumed that the classical XY model and its quantum generalizations can be exploited as…
We consider a generalization of the recursive utility model by adding a new component that represents utility of investment gains and losses. We also study the utility process in this generalized model with constant elasticity of…
A restricted form of Landauer's Principle, independent of computational considerations, is shown to hold for thermal systems by reference to the joint entropy associated with conjugate observables. It is shown that the source of the…
We analyse the eigenvalue structure of the replicated transfer matrix of one-dimensional disordered Ising models. In the limit of $n \rightarrow 0$ replicas, an infinite sequence of transfer matrices is found, each corresponding to a…
The additivity principle allows a calculation of current fluctuations and associated density profiles in large diffusive systems. In order to test its validity in the weakly asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries, we use a…
We study an interacting particle system in which moving particles activate dormant particles linked by the components of critical bond percolation. Addressing a conjecture from Beckman, Dinan, Durrett, Huo, and Junge for a continuous…
The three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model in $R^{1} \times S^{2}$ spacetime is considered at finite particles number density. We evaluate an effective potential of the composite scalar field $\sigma(x)$, which is expressed in terms of a…
The large deviation properties of equilibrium (reversible) lattice gases are mathematically reasonably well understood. Much less is known in non--equilibrium, namely for non reversible systems. In this paper we consider a simple example of…
The reciprocal theorems of Maxwell and Betti are foundational in mechanics but have so far been restricted to infinitesimal deformations in elastic bodies. In this manuscript, we present a reciprocal theorem that relates solutions of a…
Our aim in this paper is to discuss the critical exponent in semi-linear structurally damped wave and beam equations with additional dispersion term. The special model we have in mind is $$…
In this work we shall obtain sufficient conditions for the appearance of singularities in gravitational theories which propagate an extra vector degree of freedom, based on the known relaxations of the singularity theorems. We study the…
For a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, we consider the fast diffusion equation with critical sobolev exponent $$\frac{\partial w}{\partial\tau} =\Delta w^{\frac{n-2}{n+2}}$$ under Dirichlet boundary condition…
We divide the free energy near the critical point into two parts. One is the regular part, the other is the singular part. The singular part is assumed to be a concrete possible form. The singular part in this form is different from Widom…
We explore Fermi acceleration in a driven oval billiard which shows unlimited to limited diffusion in energy when passing from the free to the dissipative case. We provide evidence for a second-order phase transition taking place while…
For many environmental processes, recent studies have shown that the dependence strength is decreasing when quantile levels increase. This implies that the popular max-stable models are inadequate to capture the rate of joint tail decay,…
New observational constraints on the cosmic matter density $\Omega_m$ and an effectively redshift-independent equation of state parameter $w_x$ of the dark energy are obtained while simultaneously testing the strong and null energy…
There are currently two main, continuum models of entropy: a 'reversible', Clausius entropy model and an 'irreversible', Onsager-Prigogine entropy model. It is shown that the equations of the 'reversible' and the 'irreversible' entropy…
We discuss the parameter estimation of the probability of default (PD), the correlation between the obligors, and a phase transition. In our previous work, we studied the problem using the beta-binomial distribution. A non-equilibrium phase…
