The statistics of the gravitational field arising from an inhomogenous system of particles

چکیده
In this paper we extend Chandrasekhar and von Neumann’s analysis of the statistics of the gravitational field to systems in which particles (e.g. stars, galaxies) are not homogeneously distributed. We derive a distribution function W (F, dF/dt) giving the joint probability that a test particle is subject to a force F and an associated rate of change of F given by dF/dt. We calculate the first moment of dF/dt to study the effects of inhomogenity on dynamical friction.

AN OPTIMIZED NEURO-FUZZY GROUP METHOD OF DATA HANDLING SYSTEM BASED ON GRAVITATIONAL SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR EVALUATION OF LATERAL GROUND DISPLACEMENTS
During an earthquake, significant damage can result due to instability of the soil in the area affected by internal seismic waves. A liquefaction-induced lateral ground displacement has been a very damaging type of ground failure during past strong earthquakes. In this study, neuro-fuzzy group method of data handling (NF-GMDH) is utilized for assessment of lateral displacement in both ground sl...

The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is one of the most general and difficult of all traditional scheduling problems. The Flexible Job Shop Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem which allows an operation to be processed by any machine from a given set. The problem is to assign each operation to a machine and to order the operations on the machine...
