Metamaterials have been already used to model various exotic “optical spaces”. Here we demonstrate that mapping of monochromatic extraordinary light distribution in a hyperbolic metamaterial along some spatial direction may model the “flow of time”. This idea is illustrated in experiments performed with plasmonic hyperbolic metamaterials. Appearance of the “statistical arrow of time” is examine...

The mixture of factor analyzers model was first introduced over 20 years ago and, in the meantime, has been extended to several non-Gaussian analogues. In general, these analogues account for situations with heavy tailed and/or skewed clusters. An approach is introduced that unifies many of these approaches into one very general model: the mixture of hidden truncation hyperbolic factor analyzer...

We construct an hyperbolic approximation of the Vlasov equation in which the dependency on the velocity variable is removed. The resulting model enjoys interesting conservation and entropy properties. It can be numerically solved by standard schemes for hyperbolic systems. We present numerical results for one-dimensional classical test cases in plasma physics: Landau damping, two-stream instabi...

The evolution of a magnetoelastic material is described by a nonlinear hyperbolic-parabolic system. We introduce a simplified but nontrivial model and prove the existence of a unique solution to the corresponding initial boundary value problem.

This Note is concerned with the strict hyperbolicity of the compressible Euler equations equipped with an equation of state that describes the thermodynamical equilibrium between the liquid phase and the vapor phase of a fluid. The proof is valid for a very wide class of fluids. The argument only relies on smoothness assumptions and on the classical thermodynamical stability assumptions, that r...

This note describes estimation algorithms for generalized hyperbolic hyperbolic and nor mal inverse Gaussian distributions These distributions provide a better t to empirically observed log return distributions of nancial assets than the classical normal distributions Based on the better t to the semi heavy tails of nancial assets we can compute more realistic Value at Risk estimates The modell...

We consider a model for complex networks that was introduced by Krioukov et al. [14], where the intrinsic hierarchies of a network are mapped into the hyperbolic plane. Krioukov et al. show that this model exhibits clustering and the distribution of its degrees has a power law tail. We show that asymptotically this model locally behaves like the well-known Chung-Lu model in which two nodes are ...

We investigate the conditions under which residual-based variational multiscale methods are adjoint, or dual, consistent for model hyperbolic and elliptic partial differential equations. In particular, while many residual-based variational multiscale stabilizations are adjoint consistent for hyperbolic problems and finite-element spaces, only a few are adjoint consistent for elliptic problems.

This study investigated bending, buckling, and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable functionally graded (FG) higher order beams. The material properties of FG beams are varied through thickness according to power law distribution; here, the FG beam was made of aluminium/alumina, and the hyperbolic shear deformation theory was used to evaluate the effect of shear deformation i...
