Stationary Probabilities

Computationally, when we solve for the stationary probabilities for a countable-state Markov chain, the transition probability matrix of the Markov chain has to be truncated, in some way, into a finite matrix. Different augmentation methods might be valid such that the stationary probability distribution for the truncated Markov chain approaches that for the countable Markov chain as the truncation size gets large. In this paper, we prove that the censored (watched) Markov chain provides the best approximation in the sense that, for a given truncation size, the sum of errors is the minimum and show, by examples, that the method of augmenting the last column only is not always the best.

The Stability

Statistical properties of the intensity fluctuation of a saturation laser model driven by cross-correlation additive and multiplicative noises are investigated. Using the Novikov theorem and the projection operator method, we obtain the analytic expressions of the stationary probability distribution Pst(I), the relaxation time Tc, and the normalized variance λ2(0) of the system. By numerical computation, we discussed the effects of the cross-correlation strength λ, the cross-correlation time τ, the quantum noise intensity D, and the pump noise intensity Q for the fluctuation of the laser intensity. Above the threshold, λ weakens the stationary probability distribution, speeds up the startup velocity of the laser system from start status to steady work, and attenuates the stability of laser intensity output; however, τ strengthens the stationary probability distribution and strengths the stability of laser intensity output; when λ < 0, τ speeds up the startup; on the contrast, when λ > 0, τ slows down the startup. D and Q make the relaxation time exhibit extremum structure, that is, the startup time possesses the least values. At the threshold, τ cannot generate the effects for the saturation laser system, λ expedites the startup velocity and weakens the stability of laser intensity output. Below threshold, the effects of λ and τ not only relate to λ and τ, but also relate to other parameters of the system.

Priori Information

Motivated by applications of statistical mechanics in which the system of interest is spatially unconfined, we present an exact solution to the maximum entropy problem for assigning a stationary probability distribution on the phase space of an unconfined ideal gas in an anti-de Sitter background. Notwithstanding the gas’ freedom to move in an infinite volume, we establish necessary conditions for the stationary probability distribution solving a general maximum entropy problem to be normalizable and obtain the resulting probability for a particular choice of constraints. As a part of our analysis, we develop a novel method for identifying dynamical constraints based on local measurements. With no appeal to a priori information about globally defined conserved quantities, it is therefore applicable to a much wider range of problems.

Linear Damping

We consider the N-oscillator system of the van der Pol type, which contains a small positive parameter ε multiplying the non-linear damping and the random disturbance. For a formulation of the output we take the solution X(t) = (Xi(t))i=1···,N of the system of 2N-dimensional stochastic differential equations. Rotating each component Xi(t) about the origin of the plane by an angle t, we find that on time scales of order 1/ε together with sufficiently large N each Xi(t) behaves as the equi-ultimately bounded solution of an equation of the McKean type admitting a stationary probability distribution.
