Kinks in a Stochastic Pde
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a stochastic PDE with localized coherent structures known as kinks. The availability of exact results for the steady state and increasing computer power means that precise quantitative comparison between theory and numerics is possible. One of the quantities of interest is the steady-state density of kinks, maintained by a balance between nucleation and annihilation of kink-antikink pairs. The density as measured from numerical solutions is sufficiently accurate to resolve the difference between analytical predictions based on the exact value of the correlation length, and those based on the WKB approximation to it.

Soliton-like Solutions of the Complex Non-linear Klein-Gordon Systems in 1 + 1 Dimensions
In this paper, we present soliton-like solutions of the non-linear complex Klein-Gordon systems in 1+1 dimensions. We will use polar representation to introduce three different soliton-like solutions including, complex kinks (anti-kinks), radiative profiles, and localized wave-packets. Complex kinks (anti-kinks) are topological objects with zero electrical charges. Radiative profiles are object...
متن کاملStochastic Partial Differential Equations and Filtering of Di f fusion Processes
We establish basic results on existence and uniqueness for the solution of stochastic PDE's. We express the solution of a backward linear stochastic PDE In terms of the conditional law of a partially observed Markov diffusion process. It then follows that the adjoint forward stochastic PDE governs the evolution of the "unnormalized conditional density".
متن کاملGravitational power from cosmic string loops with many kinks
We investigate the effect of a large number of kinks on the gravitational power radiated by cosmic string loops. We show that the total power radiated by a loop with N left-moving and right-moving kinks is proportional to N and increases with the typical kink angle. We then apply these results to loops containing junctions which give rise to a proliferation of the number of sharp kinks. We show...
متن کاملReaction-diffusion Equations
I have recently worked in the area of partial differential equations (PDE), specifically reaction-diffusion equations, drift-diffusion equations, and fluid dynamics. These equations model physical processes such as combustion, mixing, or turbulence, and my main interest has been in long term dynamics of their solutions as well as in the formation of singularities. I consider myself an applied a...
متن کاملMoment equations for a piecewise deterministic PDE
We analyze a piecewise deterministic PDE consisting of the diffusion equation on a finite interval Ω with randomly switching boundary conditions and diffusion coefficient. We proceed by spatially discretizing the diffusion equation using finite differences and constructing the Chapman–Kolmogorov (CK) equation for the resulting finite-dimensional stochastic hybrid system. We show how the CK equa...
