Examination of Particle Tails
نویسنده
چکیده
The tail of the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) position distribution at stagnation is shown to be describable by a power law. This tail fattening is attributed to particle bursting on all length scales. The origin of the power law is concluded to lie in multiplicative randomness, previously encountered in the study of first-order stochastic difference equations, and generalised here to second-order equations. It is argued that recombinant PSO, a competitive PSO variant without multiplicative randomness, does not experience tail fattening at stagnation.

How does the histone code work?1
Patterns of histone post-translational modifications correlate with distinct chromosomal states that regulate access to DNA, leading to the histone-code hypothesis. However, it is not clear how modification of flexible histone tails leads to changes in nucleosome dynamics and, thus, chromatin structure. The recent discovery that, like the flexible histone tails, the structured globular domain o...
متن کاملInvestigations of the Material Composition of Iron-containing Tails of the Enrichment of the Mining and Processing Combines of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly of Russia
The inevitable depletion of mineral resources, the constant deterioration of the geological and mining conditions for the development of mineral deposits and the restoration of raw materials from mining waste by recycling are all urgent problems we face today. The solution to this problem may ensure: a considerable extension of raw material source; decrease of investments in opening new deposit...
متن کاملAnomalous distribution functions in sheared suspensions
We investigate velocity probability distribution functions (PDF) of sheared hardsphere suspensions. As observed in our Stokes flow simulations and explained by our single-particle theory, these PDFs can show pronounced deviations from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The PDFs are symmetric around zero velocity and show a Gaussian core and exponential tails over more than six orders of magnitud...
متن کاملA Master Equation for Force Distributions in Polydisperse Frictional Particles
Abstract. An incremental evolution equation, i.e. a Master equation in statistical mechanics, is introduced for force distributions in polydisperse frictional particle packings. As basic ingredients of the Master equation, the conditional probability distributions of particle overlaps are determined by molecular dynamics simulations. Interestingly, tails of the distributions become much narrowe...
متن کاملSimulations of Rare Events in Fiber Optics by Interacting Particle Systems
In this paper we study the robustness of linear pulses, solitons, and dispersionmanaged solitons, under the influence of random perturbations. First, we address the problem of the estimation of the outage probability due to polarization-mode dispersion. Second, we compare the pulse broadening due to random fluctuations of the group-velocity dispersion. We use an original interacting particle sy...
