AbstractTwo statistical effects in the long-term chaotic asteroidal dynamics are considered, namely the power-law character of the dependence of recurrence times on local Lyapunov times and the power-law decay in the tails of the recurrence distributions. The dependences in both cases are shaped by effects of anomalous transport, due to the presence of the chaos border in phase space, and by statistical selection effects.

We investigate the heat conduction in a modified Lorentz gas with freely rotating disks periodically placed along one-dimensional channel. The heat conductivity is dependent on the moment of inertia η of the disks, with a power-law decay when η > 1. By plotting the Poincaré surface of the section, we observe a contraction of phase space over the range of η > 1, which is sensitive to the initial condition. We find that the power-law decay of the heat conductivity is relevant to the mixing phase space. As a possible application, we model the heterostructure by connecting the segments of different η, and predict the analytical results of the temperature profiles and the heat conductivity, which are in good agreement with the numerical ones.

We model the evolution of the magnetic fields of neutron stars as consisting of a long term power-law decay modulated by short term small amplitude oscillations. Our model predictions on the timing noise [Formula: see text] of neutron stars agree well with the observed statistical properties and correlations of normal radio pulsars. Fitting the model predictions to the observed data, we found that their initial parameter implies their initial surface magnetic dipole magnetic field strength B0 ~ 5 × 1014 G when t0 = 0.4 yr and that the oscillations have amplitude K ~ 10-8 to 10-5 and period T on the order of years. For individual pulsars our model can effectively reduce their timing residuals, thus offering the potential of more sensitive detections of gravitational waves with pulsar timing arrays. Finally our model can also re-produce their observed correlation and oscillations of [Formula: see text], as well as the "slow glitch" phenomenon.

The authors study the persistence phenomenon in the Japanese stock market by using a novel mapping of the time evolution of the values of shares quoted on the Nikkei Index onto Ising spins. The method is applied to historical end of day data from the Japanese financial market. By studying the time dependence of the spins, they find clear evidence for a double-power law decay of the proportion of shares that remain either above or below ‘starting' values chosen at random. The results are consistent with a recent analysis of the data from the London FTSE100 market. The slopes of the power-laws are also in agreement. The authors estimate a long time persistence exponent for the underlying Japanese financial market to be 0.5. Furthermore, they argue that the presence of a double power law in the decay of the persistence probability could be the signature of the presence of both speculative (short-term) and long-term traders in the market.

ABSTRACT Symplectic algorithms are widely used for long-term integration of astrophysical problems. However, this technique can only be easily constructed for separable Hamiltonian, as preserving the phase-space structure. Recently, for inseparable Hamiltonian, the fourth-order extended phase-space explicit symplectic-like methods have been developed by using the Yoshida’s triple product with a mid-point map, where the algorithm is more effective, stable and also more accurate, compared with the sequent permutations of momenta and position coordinates, especially for some chaotic case. However, it has been found that, for the cases such as with chaotic orbits of spinning compact binary or circular restricted three-body system, it may cause secular drift in energy error and even more the computation break down. To solve this problem, we have made further improvement on the mid-point map with a momentum-scaling correction, which turns out to behave more stably in long-term evolution and have smaller energy error than previous methods. In particular, it could obtain a comparable phase-space distance as computing from the eighth-order Runge–Kutta method with the same time-step.

Martin and Walker ((1997) J. Appl. Prob. 34, 657–670) proposed the power-law ρ(v) = c|v|-β, |v| ≥ 1, as a correlation model for stationary time series with long-memory dependence. A straightforward proof of their conjecture on the permissible range of c is given, and various other models for long-range dependence are discussed. In particular, the Cauchy family ρ(v) = (1 + |v/c|α)-β/α allows for the simultaneous fitting of both the long-term and short-term correlation structure within a simple analytical model. The note closes with hints at the fast and exact simulation of fractional Gaussian noise and related processes.
