Long Time Tails in Stationary Random Media. I. Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diffusion of moving particles in stationary disordered media is studied using a phenomenological mode-coupling theory. The presence of disorder leads to a generalized diffusion equation with memory kernels having power law long time tails. The velocity autocorrelation function is found to decay like t -(a/2+1), while the time correlation function associated with the super-Burnett coefficient decays like t -d/2 for long times. The theory is applicable to a wide variety of dynamical and stochastic systems including the Lorentz gas and hopping models. We find new, general expressions for the coefficients of the long time tails which agree with previous results for exactly solvable hopping models and with the low-density results obtained for the Lorentz gas. Finally we mention that if the moving particles are charged, then the long time tails imply that there is an w a/2 contribution to the low-frequency part of the frequency-dependent electrical conductivity.

The classical random walk of which the one-step displacement variable u has a rst nite negative moment is considered. The R.W. possesses an unique stationary distribution; x is a random variable with this distribution. It is assumed that the righthand and/or the lefthand tail of the distribution of u are heavy-tailed. For the type of heavy-tailed distribution considered in this study a contract...

متن کاملRandom sampling of long-memory stationary processes
This paper investigates the second order properties of a stationary process after random sampling. While a short memory process gives always rise to a short memory one, we prove that long-memory can disappear when the sampling law has heavy enough tails. We prove that under rather general conditions the existence of the spectral density is preserved by random sampling. We also investigate the e...
متن کاملExtreme value theory for moving average processes with light-tailed innovations
We consider stationary infinite moving average processes of the form Yn = ∞ ∑ i=−∞ ciZn+i, n ∈ Z, where (Zi)i∈Z is a sequence of iid random variables with “light tails” and (ci)i∈Z is a sequence of positive and summable coefficients. By light tails we mean that Z0 has a bounded density f(t) ∼ ν(t) exp(−ψ(t)), where ν(t) behaves roughly like a constant as t→∞ and ψ is strictly convex satisfying ...
متن کاملPolymer transport in random flow
The dynamics of polymers in a random smooth flow is investigated in the framework of the Hookean dumbbell model. The analytical expression of the time-dependent probability density function of polymer elongation is derived explicitly for a Gaussian, rapidly changing flow. When polymers are in the coiled state the pdf reaches a stationary state characterized by power-law tails both for small and...
