Exact solution of the Eigen model with general fitness functions and degradation rates.

ABSTRACT: We present an exact solution of Eigen's quasispecies model with a general degradation rate and fitness functions, including a square root decrease of fitness with increasing Hamming distance from the wild type. The found behavior of the model with a degradation rate is analogous to a viral quasispecies under attack by the immune system of the host. Our exact solutions also revise the known results of neutral networks in quasispecies theory. To explain the existence of mutants with large Hamming distances from the wild type, we propose three different modifications of the Eigen model: mutation landscape, multiple adjacent mutations, and frequency-dependent fitness in which the steady-state solution shows a multicenter behavior.

Exact solution for a metapopulation version of Schelling's model.

Project description:In 1971, Schelling introduced a model in which families move if they have too many neighbors of the opposite type. In this paper, we will consider a metapopulation version of the model in which a city is divided into N neighborhoods, each of which has L houses. There are ρNL red families and ρNL blue families for some ρ < 1/2. Families are happy if there are ≤ ρ(c)L families of the opposite type in their neighborhood and unhappy otherwise. Each family moves to each vacant house at rates that depend on their happiness at their current location and that of their destination. Our main result is that if neighborhoods are large, then there are critical values ρ(b) < ρ(d) < ρ(c), so that for ρ < ρ(b), the two types are distributed randomly in equilibrium. When ρ > ρ(b), a new segregated equilibrium appears; for ρ(b) < ρ < ρ(d), there is bistability, but when ρ increases past ρ(d) the random state is no longer stable. When ρ(c) is small enough, the random state will again be the stationary distribution when ρ is close to 1/2. If so, this is preceded by a region of bistability.

Exact solution for first-order synchronization transition in a generalized Kuramoto model.

Project description:First-order, or discontinuous, synchronization transition, i.e. an abrupt and irreversible phase transition with hysteresis to the synchronized state of coupled oscillators, has attracted much attention along the past years. We here report the analytical solution of a generalized Kuramoto model, and derive a series of exact results for the first-order synchronization transition, including i) the exact, generic, solutions for the critical coupling strengths for both the forward and backward transitions, ii) the closed form of the forward transition point and the linear stability analysis for the incoherent state (for a Lorentzian frequency distribution), and iii) the closed forms for both the stable and unstable coherent states (and their stabilities) for the backward transition. Our results, together with elucidating the first-order nature of the transition, provide insights on the mechanisms at the basis of such a synchronization phenomenon.

General solution model and its new progress

Project description:The physicochemical properties of multicomponent systems are involved in all fields of chemistry and have received attention from various related areas such as minerals, metallurgy, material science, environment, biology, and agriculture. At present, the relevant data can be obtained by using two major calculation methods, namely, the first principle method and the empirical method. Though the former has achieved recent great progress, it is still a long way to offer practical data; while the latter has not received progress for almost half a century. Therefore, a new method that is theoretically reasonable and accurate in practical application is necessary to obtain practical and precise physicochemical data for ternary and multicomponent systems. In this paper, a new theoretical model is suggested based on its corresponding binary ones. The feasibility of this theoretical model is discussed in terms of both theoretical analysis and practical performance.

Exact solution of the Zwanzig-Lauritzen model of polymer crystallization under tension.

Project description:We solve a two-dimensional model for polymer chain folding in the presence of mechanical pulling force (f) exactly using equilibrium statistical mechanics. Using analytically derived expression for the partition function we determine the phase diagram for the model in the f-temperature (T) plane. A square root singularity in the susceptibility indicates a second order phase transition from a folded to an unfolded state at a critical force (fc) in the thermodynamic limit of infinitely long polymer chain. The temperature dependence of fc shows a reentrant phase transition, which is reflected in an increase in fc as T increases below a threshold value. As a result, for a range of f values, the unfolded state is stable at both low and high temperatures. The high temperature unfolded state is stabilized by entropy whereas the low temperature unfolded state is dominated by favorable energy. The exact calculation could serve as a benchmark for testing approximate theories that are used in analyzing single molecule pulling experiments.

Exact solution for the Anisotropic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.

Project description:Active-Matter models commonly consider particles with overdamped dynamics subject to a force (speed) with constant modulus and random direction. Some models also include random noise in particle displacement (a Wiener process), resulting in diffusive motion at short time scales. On the other hand, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes apply Langevin dynamics to the particles' velocity and predict motion that is not diffusive at short time scales. Experiments show that migrating cells have gradually varying speeds at intermediate and long time scales, with short-time diffusive behavior. While Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes can describe the moderate-and long-time speed variation, Active-Matter models for over-damped particles can explain the short-time diffusive behavior. Isotropic models cannot explain both regimes, because short-time diffusion renders instantaneous velocity ill-defined, and prevents the use of dynamical equations that require velocity time-derivatives. On the other hand, both models correctly describe some of the different temporal regimes seen in migrating biological cells and must, in the appropriate limit, yield the same observable predictions. Here we propose and solve analytically an Anisotropic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for polarized particles, with Langevin dynamics governing the particle's movement in the polarization direction and a Wiener process governing displacement in the orthogonal direction. Our characterization provides a theoretically robust way to compare movement in dimensionless simulations to movement in experiments in which measurements have meaningful space and time units. We also propose an approach to deal with inevitable finite-precision effects in experiments and simulations.

Exact closure and solution for spatial correlations in single-file diffusion.

Project description:In single-file transport particles diffuse in narrow channels while not overtaking each other. it is a fundamental model for the tracer subdiffusion observed in confined systems, such as zeolites or carbon nanotubes. This anomalous behavior originates from strong bath-tracer correlations in one dimension. Despite extensive effort, these remained elusive, because they involve an infinite hierarchy of equations. For the symmetric exclusion process, a paradigmatic model of single-file diffusion, we break the hierarchy to unveil and solve a closed exact equation satisfied by these correlations. Beyond quantifying the correlations, the role of this key equation as a tool for interacting particle systems is further demonstrated by its application to out-of-equilibrium situations, other observables, and other representative single-file systems.

Exact solution for the Poisson field in a semi-infinite strip.

Project description:The Poisson equation is associated with many physical processes. Yet exact analytic solutions for the two-dimensional Poisson field are scarce. Here we derive an analytic solution for the Poisson equation with constant forcing in a semi-infinite strip. We provide a method that can be used to solve the field in other intricate geometries. We show that the Poisson flux reveals an inverse square-root singularity at a tip of a slit, and identify a characteristic length scale in which a small perturbation, in a form of a new slit, is screened by the field. We suggest that this length scale expresses itself as a characteristic spacing between tips in real Poisson networks that grow in response to fluxes at tips.

Numerical solution of a general interval quadratic programming model for portfolio selection.

Project description:Based on the Markowitz mean variance model, this paper discusses the portfolio selection problem in an uncertain environment. To construct a more realistic and optimized model, in this paper, a new general interval quadratic programming model for portfolio selection is established by introducing the linear transaction costs and liquidity of the securities market. Regarding the estimation for the new model, we propose an effective numerical solution method based on the Lagrange theorem and duality theory, which can obtain the effective upper and lower bounds of the objective function of the model. In addition, the proposed method is illustrated with two examples, and the results show that the proposed method is better and more feasible than the commonly used portfolio selection method.

A General Accelerated Degradation Model Based on the Wiener Process.

Project description:Accelerated degradation testing (ADT) is an efficient tool to conduct material service reliability and safety evaluations by analyzing performance degradation data. Traditional stochastic process models are mainly for linear or linearization degradation paths. However, those methods are not applicable for the situations where the degradation processes cannot be linearized. Hence, in this paper, a general ADT model based on the Wiener process is proposed to solve the problem for accelerated degradation data analysis. The general model can consider the unit-to-unit variation and temporal variation of the degradation process, and is suitable for both linear and nonlinear ADT analyses with single or multiple acceleration variables. The statistical inference is given to estimate the unknown parameters in both constant stress and step stress ADT. The simulation example and two real applications demonstrate that the proposed method can yield reliable lifetime evaluation results compared with the existing linear and time-scale transformation Wiener processes in both linear and nonlinear ADT analyses.
