On Hyperbolic Plateaus of the Hénon Map
We propose a rigorous computational method to prove the uniform hyperbolicity of discrete dynamical systems. Applying the method to the real Hénon family, we prove the existence of many regions of hyperbolic parameters in the parameter plane of the family.
متن کاملExplaining mortality rate plateaus.
We propose a stochastic model of aging to explain deviations from exponential growth in mortality rates commonly observed in empirical studies. Mortality rate plateaus are explained as a generic consequence of considering death in terms of first passage times for processes undergoing a random walk with drift. Simulations of populations with age-dependent distributions of viabilities agree with ...
متن کاملSoft Planar Shadows Using Plateaus
This paper presents an algorithm for rapidly creating and rendering soft shadows on a plane. It has the advantages of rapid generation on current hardware, as well as high quality and a realistic feel on a perceptual level. The algorithm renders the soft shadow to a texture. It begins with a hard drop shadow, then uses the object’s silhouette edges to generate penumbrae in a single pass. Though...
متن کاملMortality plateaus and directionality theory.
Recent large scale studies of senescence in animals and humans have revealed mortality rates that levelled off at advanced ages. These empirical findings are now known to be inconsistent with evolutionary theories of senescence based on the Malthusian parameter as a measure of fitness. This article analyses the incidence of mortality plateaus in terms of directionality theory, a new class of mo...
متن کاملBig Plateaus of Big Data on the Big Island
In ancient texts, 40 was a magic number. It meant a “lot” or “a long time.” 40 years represented the time it took for a new generation to arise. A look back at 40 years of VLDB suggests that this applies to database researchers as well – the young researchers of the early VLDBs are now the old folks of the database world, and a new generation is creating afresh. Over this period many plateaus o...
