چکیده

We consider a branching-selection system in R with N particles which give birth independently at rate 1 and where after each birth the leftmost particle is erased, keeping the number of particles constant. We show that, as N → ∞, the empirical measure process associated to the system converges in distribution to a deterministic measure-valued process whose densities solve a free boundary integrodifferential equation. We also show that this equation has a unique traveling wave solution traveling at speed c or no such solution depending on whether c > a or c ≤ a, where a is the asymptotic speed of the branching random walk obtained by ignoring the removal of the leftmost particles in our process. The traveling wave solutions correspond to solutions of Wiener-Hopf equations.

Brunet-Derrida behavior of branching-selection particle systems on the line

We consider a class of branching-selection particle systems on R similar to the one considered by E. Brunet and B. Derrida in their 1997 paper ”Shift in the velocity of a front due to a cutoff”. Based on numerical simulations and heuristic arguments, Brunet and Derrida showed that, as the population size N of the particle system goes to infinity, the asymptotic velocity of the system converges ...

On the application of the Wiener–Hopf technique to problems in dynamic elasticity

Many problems in linear elastodynamics, or dynamic fracture mechanics, can be reduced to Wiener–Hopf functional equations defined in a strip in a complex transform plane. Apart from a few special cases, the inherent coupling between shear and compressional body motions gives rise to coupled systems of equations, and so the resulting Wiener–Hopf kernels are of matrix form. The key step in the so...

Exponential Dichotomies and Wiener-Hopf Factorizations for Mixed-Type Functional Differential Equations

We study linear systems of functional differential equations of mixed type, both autonomous and (asymptotically hyperbolic) nonautonomous. Such equations arise naturally in various contexts, for example, in lattice differential equations. We obtain a decomposition of the state space into stable and unstable subspaces with associated semigroups or evolutionary processes. In the autonomous case w...

-In this paper, we establish the equivalence between the generalized nonlinear variational inequalities and the generalized Wiener-Hopf equations. This equivalence is used to suggest and analyze a number of iterative algorithms for solving generalized variational inequalities. We also discuss the convergence analysis of the proposed algorithms. As a special case, we obtain various known results...

Wiener-Hopf Analysis of the H-Polarized Plane Wave Diffraction by a Finite Sinusoidal Grating

The diffraction by a finite sinusoidal grating is analyzed for the H-polarized plane wave incidence using the Wiener-Hopf technique combined with the perturbation method. Assuming the depth of the grating to be small compared with the wavelength and approximating the boundary condition on the grating surface, the problem is reduced to the diffraction problem involving a flat strip with a certai...
