Pointwise Estimates and Exponential Laws in Metastable Systems via Coupling Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how coupling techniques can be used in some metastable systems to prove that mean metastable exit times are almost constant as functions of the starting microscopic configuration within a “metastable set”. In the example of the Random Field Curie Weiss model, we show that these ideas can also be used to prove asymptotic exponentiality of normalized metastable escape times.

Pointwise Error Estimates for Relaxation Approximations to Conservation Laws
We obtain sharp pointwise error estimates for relaxation approximation to scalar conservation laws with piecewise smooth solutions. We first prove that the first-order partial derivatives for the perturbation solutions are uniformly upper bounded (the so-called Lip+ stability). A one-sided interpolation inequality between classical L1 error estimates and Lip+ stability bounds enables us to conv...
متن کاملApproximating Bayes Estimates by Means of the Tierney Kadane, Importance Sampling and Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs Methods in the Poisson-Exponential Distribution: A Comparative Study
Here, we work on the problem of point estimation of the parameters of the Poisson-exponential distribution through the Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods based on complete samples. The point Bayes estimates under the symmetric squared error loss (SEL) function are approximated using three methods, namely the Tierney Kadane approximation method, the importance sampling method and the Metrop...
متن کاملUniform Estimates for Metastable Transition times in a Coupled Bistable System
We consider a coupled bistable N -particle system on R driven by a Brownian noise, with a strong coupling corresponding to the synchronised regime. Our aim is to obtain sharp estimates on the metastable transition times betwen the two stable states, both for fixed N and in the limit when N tends to infinity. These estimates would be the main step for a rigorous understanding of the metastable b...
متن کاملClassical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data
Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...
متن کاملViscous Shock Wave Tracing, Local Conservation Laws, and Pointwise Estimates by Tai-ping Liu and Shih-hsien Yu
We introduce a new approach to decompose a system of viscous conservation laws with respect to each characteristic wave structures. Under this new decomposition, the global wave interactions of the system are reduced to coupling of nonlinear waves around constant states outside shock region and a scalar conservation law in the shock region to determine the behavior of local internal shock layer...
