چکیده

We prove a precise relationship between the threshold state of the fixed-energy sandpile and the stationary state of Dhar’s abelian sandpile: In the limit as the initial condition s0 tends to −∞, the former is obtained by size-biasing the latter according to burst size, an avalanche statistic. The question of whether and how these two states are related has been a subject of some controversy since 2000. The size-biasing in our result arises as an instance of a Markov renewal theorem, and implies that the threshold and stationary distributions are not equal even in the s0 → −∞ limit. We prove that nevertheless in this limit the total amount of sand in the threshold state converges in distribution to the total amount of sand in the stationary state, confirming a conjecture of Poghosyan, Poghosyan, Priezzhev and Ruelle.

The Looping Constant of Z Lionel Levine and Yuval Peres

The looping constant ξ(Z) is the expected number of neighbors of the origin that lie on the infinite loop-erased random walk in Z. Poghosyan, Priezzhev and Ruelle, and independently, Kenyon and Wilson, proved recently that ξ(Z) = 54 . We consider the infinite volume limits as G ↑ Z of three different statistics: (1) The expected length of the cycle in a uniform spanning unicycle of G; (2) The e...

Jamming probabilities for a vacancy in the dimer model.

Following the recent proposal made by [J. Bouttier, Phys. Rev. E 76, 041140 (2007)], we study analytically the mobility properties of a single vacancy in the close-packed dimer model on the square lattice. Using the spanning web representation, we find determinantal expressions for various observable quantities. In the limiting case of large lattices, they can be reduced to the calculation of T...

On a pointwise convergence of trigonometric interpolations with shifted nodes

We consider trigonometric interpolations with shifted equidistant nodes and investigate their accuracies depending on the shift parameter. Two different types of interpolations are in the focus of our attention: the Krylov-Lanczos and the rational-trigonometric-polynomial interpolations. In both cases, we find optimal shifts that provide with the best accuracy in different frameworks.

On the Method of Monitoring and Optimal Control of RF-Plasma

Abstract – A new strategy of reaching efficient matched conditions at the maximum speed in RF power delivery systems for plasma processes is proposed and analyzed. Presented method incorporates unique properties of high speed, automatic discrete matching networks, allowing creation of shortest trajectories and bypassing inhibited states of network parameters. The special matching network model ...
