A sticky solution
نویسنده
چکیده
Selection favours single-celled mutants that stick together when a sugar needed for growth is in short supply, suggesting that multicellular life may have evolved as a by-product of selection for more efficient usage of resources.

Solution of the polymer Percus–Yevick approximation for the multicomponent totally flexible sticky two-point model of polymerizing fluid
The analytic solution of the polymer Percus–Yevick approximation for the multicomponent version of the totally flexible sticky two-point model of Wertheim is obtained in closed form. The model consists of an n-component mixture of hard spheres with two sticky points of the type A and B randomly placed on the surface of each hard sphere. The solution of the problem has been reduced to solving a ...
متن کاملA stochastic differential equation with a sticky point
We consider a degenerate stochastic differential equation that has a sticky point in the Markov process sense. We prove that weak existence and weak uniqueness hold, but that pathwise uniqueness does not hold nor does a strong solution exist.
متن کاملNon-existence and Non-uniqueness for Multidimensional Sticky Particle Systems
The paper is concerned with sticky weak solutions to the equations of pressureless gases in two or more space dimensions. Various initial data are constructed, showing that the Cauchy problem can have (i) two distinct sticky solutions, or (ii) no sticky solution, not even locally in time. In both cases the initial density is smooth with compact support, while the initial velocity field is conti...
متن کاملStochastic Differential Equations for Sticky Brownian Motion
dXt = 12 d` 0 t (X) + I(Xt >0) dBt I(Xt =0) dt = 1 2μ d` 0 t (X) for reflecting Brownian motion X in IR+ sticky at 0 , where X starts at x in the state space, μ ∈ (0,∞) is a given constant, `(X) is the local time of X at 0 , and B is a standard Brownian motion. We prove that both systems (i) have a jointly unique weak solution and (ii) have no strong solution. The latter fact verifies Skorokhod...
متن کاملInflation Dynamics: A Cross-Country Investigation
We document that "persistent and lagged" ination (with respect to output) is a worldwide phenomenon in that these short-run ination dynamics are highly synchronized across countries. In particular, the average cross-country correlation of ination is signi cantly and systematically stronger than that of output, while the cross-country correlation of money growth is essentially zero. We invest...
متن کاملNew directions for stochastic open economy models
The paper develops a simple stochastic new open economy macroeconomic model based on sticky nominal wages. Explicit solution of the wage-setting problem under uncertainty allows one to analyze the effects of the monetary regime on welfare, expected output, and the expected terms of trade. Despite the potential interplay between imperfections due to sticky wages and monopoly, the optimal monetar...
