Local Constraints Satisfied by Realizable Correlation Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wiener-Khintchine theorem dictates that the correlation function of any stationary, stochastic signal y(t) has as its Fourier transform a function that is necessarily both real and non-negative. In this paper, I explore the real-space, geometric consequences of this reciprocal-space non-negativity constraint. I review prior results addressing this issue, and I also introduce a family of new, local constraints—each a consequence of the reciprocal-space non-negativity constraint—that are satisfied by the differentiable correlation functions.

Necessary Conditions on Realizable Two-Point Correlation Functions of Random Media
A fascinating inverse problem that has been receiving considerable attention is the construction of realizations of random two-phase heterogeneous media with a target two-point correlation function. However, not every hypothetical two-point correlation function corresponds to a realizable two-phase medium. Here we collect all of the known necessary conditions on the two-point correlation functi...
متن کاملNew inequalities for subspace arrangements
For each positive integer n ≥ 4, we give an inequality satisfied by rank functions of arrangements of n subspaces. When n = 4 we recover Ingleton’s inequality; for higher n the inequalities are all new. These inequalities can be thought of as a hierarchy of necessary conditions for a (poly)matroid to be realizable. Some related open questions about the “cone of realizable polymatroids” are also...
متن کاملExact conditions on physically realizable correlation functions of random media
Algorithms have been developed recently to construct realizations of random media with specified statistical correlation functions. There is a need for the formulation of exact conditions on the correlation functions in order to ensure that hypothetical correlation functions are physically realizable. Here we obtain positivity conditions on certain integrals of the autocorrelation function of d...
متن کاملEnergy Delivery Scheduling and Realizability in Deregulated Electric Energy Market
In the new deregulated electric power market, energy transactions are generally processed in terms of hourly energy delivery. Failing to fulfill energy delivery obligation may result in penaltalt to energy tiesprodp. This paper studies the relationship between generation level schedule, energy delivery schedule and physical ramp-rate of a generating unit. It is shown that although ramp-rate con...
متن کاملPair Correlation Function Realizability: Lattice Model Implications†
Despite their long history in experiment, simulation, and analytical theory, pair correlation functions that describe local order in many-body systems still retain a legacy of mathematical mysteries. One such open question concerns “realizability” of a given candidate pair correlation function, namely whether it actually represents the pair correlation for some spatial distribution of particles...
