Converging towards the optimal path to extinction.
Extinction appears ubiquitously in many fields, including chemical reactions, population biology, evolution and epidemiology. Even though extinction as a random process is a rare event, its occurrence is observed in large finite populations. Extinction occurs when fluctuations owing to random transitions act as an effective force that drives one or more components or species to vanish. Although...
متن کاملMaximal sensitive dependence and the optimal path to epidemic extinction.
Extinction of an epidemic or a species is a rare event that occurs due to a large, rare stochastic fluctuation. Although the extinction process is dynamically unstable, it follows an optimal path that maximizes the probability of extinction. We show that the optimal path is also directly related to the finite-time Lyapunov exponents of the underlying dynamical system in that the optimal path di...
متن کاملOn the path to extinction.
Populations can die out in many ways. We investigate one basic form of extinction, stable or intrinsic extinction, caused by individuals on the average not being able to replace themselves through reproduction. The archetypical such population is a subcritical branching process, i.e., a population of independent, asexually reproducing individuals, for which the expected number of progeny per in...
متن کاملRecursive Schrödinger equation approach to faster converging path integrals.
By recursively solving the underlying Schrödinger equation, we set up an efficient systematic approach for deriving analytic expressions for discretized effective actions. With this, we obtain discrete short-time propagators for both one and many particles in arbitrary dimension to orders that have not been accessible before. They can be used to substantially speed up numerical Monte Carlo calc...
متن کاملConverging on the Optimal Attainment of Requirements
Planning for the optimal attainment of requirements is an important early lifecycle activity. However, such planning is difficult when dealing with competing requirements, limited resources, and the incompleteness of information available at requirements time. A novel approach to requirements optimization is described. A requirements interaction model is executed to randomly sample the space of...
