Random Motion with Gamma-Distributed Alternating Velocities in Biological Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by applications in mathematical biology concerning randomly alternating motion of micro-organisms, we analyze a generalized integrated telegraph process. The random times between consecutive velocity reversals are gamma-distributed, and perform an alternating renewal process. We obtain the probability law and the mean of the process.

Random walks with random velocities.
We consider a random walk model that takes into account the velocity distribution of random walkers. Random motion with alternating velocities is inherent to various physical and biological systems. Moreover, the velocity distribution is often the first characteristic that is experimentally accessible. Here, we derive transport equations describing the dispersal process in the model and solve t...
متن کاملTelegraph models of financial markets
In this paper we develop a financial market model based on continuous time random motions with alternating constant velocities and with jumps occurring when the velocity switches. If jump directions are in the certain correspondence with the velocity directions of the underlying random motion with respect to the interest rate, the model is free of arbitrage and complete. Memory effects of this ...
متن کاملGenerating Antithetic Random Variates in Simulation of a Replacement Process by Rejection Method
When the times between renewals in a renewal process are not exponentially distributed, simulation can become a viable method of analysis. The renewal function is estimated through simulation for a renewal process simulation for a renewal process with gamma distributed renewal times and the shape parameter a > 1. Gamma random deviates will be generated by means of the so called Acceptance Rejec...
متن کاملAssimilation and contrast in motion perception: explorations in cooperativity.
Motions within one region of the field influence motion seen elsewhere. To explore this phenomenon we used cinematograms comprised of alternating strips within which dots (i) tended to move in one direction, or (ii) moved in random directions (dynamic noise). When alternating strips were narrow, motion in one direction induced a similar direction of illusory motion in the adjoining dynamic nois...
متن کاملAn Alternating Direction Implicit Method for Modeling of Fluid Flow
This research includes of the numerical modeling of fluids in two-dimensional cavity. The cavity flow is an important theoretical problem. In this research, modeling was carried out based on an alternating direction implicit via Vorticity-Stream function formulation. It evaluates different Reynolds numbers and grid sizes. Therefore, for the flow field analysis and prove of the ability of the sc...
