Coalescing colony model: Mean-field, scaling, and geometry.
We analyze the coalescing model where a 'primary' colony grows and randomly emits secondary colonies that spread and eventually coalesce with it. This model describes population proliferation in theoretical ecology, tumor growth, and is also of great interest for modeling urban sprawl. Assuming the primary colony to be always circular of radius r(t) and the emission rate proportional to r(t)^{θ...
متن کاملMean field conditions for coalescing random walks
The main results in this paper are about the full coalescence time C of a system of coalescing random walks over a finite graph G. Letting m(G) denote the mean meeting time of two such walkers, we give sufficient conditions under which E [C] ≈ 2m(G) and C/m(G) has approximatelly the same law as in the “mean field” setting of a large complete graph. One of our theorems is that mean field behavio...
متن کاملInformation Geometry of Mean-Field Approximation
I present a general theory of mean-field approximation based on information geometry and applicable not only to Boltzmann machines but also to wider classes of statistical models. Using perturbation expansion of the Kullback divergence (or Plefka expansion in statistical physics), a formulation of mean-field approximation of general orders is derived. It includes in a natural way the "naive" me...
متن کاملCluster Distribution in Mean-Field Percolation: Scaling and Universality
The partition function of the finite 1 + ǫ state Potts model is shown to yield a closed form for the distribution of clusters in the immediate vicinity of the percolation transition. Various important properties of the transition are manifest, including scaling behavior and the emergence of the spanning cluster.
متن کاملScaling and mean-field theories applied to polymer brushes.
Analysis of the osmotic pressures of aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) solutions indicates a power-law behavior in the range of volume fractions from 0.08–0.12 to 0.33 or higher, for polymers with average molecular masses in the range 1500– 4000 Da. The exponent of the power law is closer to a value of 2, which is predicted by mean-field theory, than to the value of 5/4, which is predicted by scali...
