Statistics of the total number of collisions and the ordering time in a freely expanding hard-point gas

چکیده
Abstract. We consider a Jepsen gas of N hard-point particles undergoing free expansion on a line, starting from random initial positions of the particles having random initial velocities. The particles undergo binary elastic collisions upon contact and move freely in-between collisions. After a certain ordering time To, the system reaches a “fan” state where all the velocities are completely ordered from left to right in an increasing fashion and there is no further collision. We compute analytically the distributions of (i) the total number of collisions and (ii) the ordering time To. We show that several features of these distributions are universal.

Universal Extremal Statistics in a Freely Expanding Jepsen Gas BENA
We study the extremal dynamics emerging in an out-of-equilibrium one-dimensional Jepsen gas of $(N+1)$ hard-point particles. The particles undergo binary elastic collisions, but move ballistically in-between collisions. The gas is initally uniformly distributed in a box $[-L,0]$ with the "leader" (or the rightmost particle) at X=0, and a random positive velocity, independently drawn from a dist...

متن کاملA single-vendor and a single-buyer integrated inventory model with ordering cost reduction dependent on lead time
Lead time is one of the major limits that affect planning at every stage of the supply chain system. In this paper, we study a continuous review inventory model. This paper investigates the ordering cost reductions are dependent on lead time. This study addressed two-echelon supply chain problem consisting of a single vendor and a single buyer. The main contribution of this study is that the in...

متن کاملDeriving Fuzzy Inequalities Using Discrete Approximation of Fuzzy Numbers
Most of the researches in the domain of fuzzy number comparisons serve the fuzzy number ordering purpose. For making a comparison between two fuzzy numbers, beyond the determination of their order, it is needed to derive the magnitude of their order. In line with this idea, the concept of inequality is no longer crisp however it becomes fuzzy in the sense of representing partial belonging or de...
