The growth and establishment of riparian vegetation on river bedforms is of hydrological as well as ecological importance as it helps in enhancing spatial heterogeneity and thus the biodiversity of river corridors. Yet, during floods, flow drag and scourin ...
The aim of this work is to provide bounds connecting two probability measures of the same event using Rényi α-Divergences and Sibson’s α-Mutual Information, a generalization of respectively the Kullback-Leibler Divergence and Shannon’s Mutual ...
It is shown that, in the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, correlations of type informational entropy/cross entropy - probability density, in the description of the dynamics of any complex system, can be perceived as interactions. Explaining these inte ...
Wasserstein distances are metrics on probability distributions inspired by the problem of optimal mass transportation. Roughly speaking, they measure the minimal effort required to reconfigure the probability mass of one distribution in order to recover th ...
The subject of the article is the history of popular and authoritative series of St. Petersburg publishing house “Obrazovanie” (1909-1928), which on the eve of the First World War played an important role in Russia in the restructuring of key disciplines o ...
We consider a general discrete state-space system with both unidirectional and bidirectional links. In contrast to bidirectional links, there is no reverse transition along the unidirectional links Herein, we first compute the statistical length and the th ...
Let T be a measure-preserving Zℓ-action on the probability space (X,B,μ), let q1,…,qm:R→Rℓ be vector polynomials, and let f0,…,fm∈L∞(X). For any ϵ>0 and multicorrelation sequences of the form α(n)=∫Xf0⋅T⌊q1(n)⌋f1⋯T⌊qm(n)⌋fmdμ we show that there exis ...
We study the multitype contact process on Z(d) under the assumption that one of the types has a birth rate that is larger than that of the other type, and larger than the critical value of the standard contact process. We prove that, if initially present, ...
The article deals with different theories of history in the Soviet Union after 1945 and 1956, including quantitative problems, with reference to the heritage of the first half of the twentieth century. ...
The existence of a spectral gap above the ground state has far-reaching consequences for the low-energy physics of a quantum many-body system. A recent work of Movassagh [R. Movassagh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 220504 (2017)] shows that a spatially random loca ...
