The heat motion in a one-dimensional semi-infinite chain of coupled harmonic oscillators is studied for the Maxwell distribution of initial velocities and zero initial displacements of the chain particles. It is believed that such initial conditions are achieved by an impulse heating of the sample. Exact analytical expressions for the state correlation functions, local temperature, and local heat current of the chain are obtained.

AbstractIn this study an interesting symmetric linear system is considered. As a first step we obtain the Lagrangian of the system. Secondly, we derive the classical Euler- Lagrange equations of the system. Finally, numerical and analytic solution for these equations have been presented for some chosen initial conditions.

The Wigner and tomographic representations of thermal Gibbs states for one- and two-mode quantum systems described by a quadratic Hamiltonian are obtained. This is done by using the covariance matrix of the mentioned states. The area of the Wigner function and the width of the tomogram of quantum systems are proposed to define a temperature scale for this type of states. This proposal is then confirmed for the general one-dimensional case and for a system of two coupled harmonic oscillators. The use of these properties as measures for the temperature of quantum systems is mentioned.

We introduce a model with conserved dynamics, where nearest neighbor pairs of spins ↑↓ (↓↑) can exchange to assume the configuration ↓↑ (↑↓), with rate β(α), through energy decreasing moves only. We report exact solution for the case when one of the rates, α or β, is zero. The irreversibility of such zero-temperature dynamics results in strong dependence on the initial conditions. Domain wall arguments suggest that for more general, finite-temperature models with steady states the dynamical critical exponent for the anisotropic spin exchange is different from the isotropic value.

We consider a stochastic model of investment on an asset in a stock market for a prudent investor. she decides to buy permanent goods with a fraction α of the maximum amount of money owned in her life in order that her economic level never decreases. The optimal strategy is obtained by maximizing the exponential growth rate for a fixed α. We derive analytical expressions for the typical exponential growth rate of the capital and its fluctuations by solving an one-dimensional random walk with drift.
