A Random Necklace Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a Laplace operator on a random graph consisting of infinitely many loops joined symmetrically by intervals of unit length. The arc lengths of the loops are considered to be independent, identically distributed random variables. The integrated density of states of this Laplace operator is shown to have discontinuities provided that the distribution of arc lengths of the loops has a nontrivial pure point part. Some numerical illustrations are also presented.

A necklace of Wulff shapes
Abstract: In a probabilistic model of a film over a disordered substrate, Monte-Carlo simulations show that the film hangs from peaks of the substrate. The film profile is well approximated by a necklace of Wulff shapes. Such a necklace can be obtained as the infimum of a collection of Wulff shapes resting on the substrate. When the random substrate is given by iid heights with exponential dist...
متن کاملWave transport in random systems: multiple resonance character of necklace modes and their statistical behavior.
We present the experimental observation of multiple resonance transport of light waves, due to necklace states, in disordered one-dimensional systems. Transmission phase measurements allow us to identify these states unambiguously and investigate their statistical properties. A theoretical model is developed to describe the resonance statistics and the frequency dependance of the localization l...
متن کاملReversible stretching of random heteropolymers.
We analyze the equilibrium response of random heteropolymers to mechanical deformation. In contrast to homopolymer response, the stress-induced transformation of a heteropolymer from globule to coil need not be sharp. For chain lengths relevant to biological macromolecules, intermediate necklace-like structures dominate over a range of applied force. Stability of these conformations is primaril...
متن کاملFORMAL GROUP-THEORETIC GENERALIZATIONS OF THE NECKLACE ALGEBRA, INCLUDING A q-DEFORMATION
N. Metropolis and G.-C. Rota Adv. Math, 50, 1983, 95{125] studied the necklace polynomials, and were lead to deene the necklace algebra as a combinatorial model for the classical ring of Witt vectors (which corresponds to the multiplicative formal group law X + Y ? XY). In this paper, we deene and study a generalized necklace algebra, which is associated with an arbitrary formal group law F ove...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of polyelectrolyte-polyampholyte complexes. Effect of solvent quality and salt concentration.
Complexation between polyelectrolyte and polyampholyte chains in poor solvent conditions for the polyelectrolyte backbone has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. In a poor solvent a polyelectrolyte forms a necklace-like structure consisting of polymeric globules (beads) connected by strings of monomers. The simulation results can be explained by assuming the existence of two differe...
