A derivation of the master equation from path entropy maximization.
The master equation and, more generally, Markov processes are routinely used as models for stochastic processes. They are often justified on the basis of randomization and coarse-graining assumptions. Here instead, we derive nth-order Markov processes and the master equation as unique solutions to an inverse problem. We find that when constraints are not enough to uniquely determine the stochas...
متن کاملA rigorous derivation of the chemical master equation
It is widely believed that the chemical master equation has no rigorous microphysical basis, and hence no a priori claim to validity. This view is challenged here through arguments purporting to show that the chemical master equation is exact for any gas-phase chemical system that is kept well stirred and thermally equilibrated.
متن کاملA Contracted Path Integral Solution of the Discrete Master Equation
A new representation of the exact time dependent solution of the discrete master equation is derived. This representation can be considered as contraction of the path integral solution of Haken. It allows the calculation of the probability distribution of the occurence time for each path and is suitable as basis of new computational solution methods. Typeset using REVTEX 1
متن کاملDetailed Derivation of the General Master Equation in Quantum Optics
An unoriginal but more detailed derivation that typical is presented of the master equation. 1. Assumptions We begin by outlining the assumptions which enable the canonical derivation of the master equation. Our general assumption is that our system is a harmonic oscillator (aa) which interacts with a bath of oscillators ( ∑ i bib † i ). Specifically: (1) We assume that the energy spectrum of t...
متن کاملA Centrality Entropy Maximization Problem in Shortest Path Routing Networks
In the context of an IP network, this paper investigates an interesting case of the inverse shortest path problem using the concept of network centrality. For a given network, a special probability distribution, namely the centrality distribution associated with the links of a network can be determined based on the number of the shortest paths passing through each link. An entropy measure for t...
