How to Simulate Billiards and Similar Systems
An N -component continuous-time dynamic system is considered whose components evolve autonomously all the time except for in discrete asynchronous instances of pairwise interactions. Examples include chaotically colliding billiard balls and combat models. A new efficient serial event-driven algorithm is described for simulating such systems. Rather than maintaining and updating the global state...
متن کاملSteady-state conduction in self-similar billiards.
The self-similar Lorentz billiard channel is a spatially extended deterministic dynamical system which consists of an infinite one-dimensional sequence of cells whose sizes increase monotonically according to their indices. This special geometry induces a nonequilibrium stationary state with particles flowing steadily from the small to the large scales. The corresponding invariant measure has f...
متن کاملHow to simulate the quasistationary state.
For a large class of processes with an absorbing state, statistical properties of the surviving sample attain time-independent values in the quasistationary (QS) regime. We propose a practical simulation method for studying quasistationary properties, based on the equation of motion governing the QS distribution. In applications to the contact process, the method is shown to reproduce exact res...
متن کاملHow similar is similar?
ion on which similarity between musical entities can be measured. Then, each of these concepts is examined in more detail with respect to a number of research studies presented in the recent special issue of Musicæ Scientiæ on musical similarity (Discussion Forum 4A, 2007). Views claiming that a geometric piano-roll-like representation is the most appropriate choice for polyphonic pattern match...
متن کاملConvergence of Hamiltonian systems to billiards.
We examine in detail a physically natural and general scheme for gradually deforming a Hamiltonian to its corresponding billiard, as a certain parameter k varies from one to infinity. We apply this limiting process to a class of Hamiltonians with homogeneous potential-energy functions and further investigate the extent to which the limiting billiards inherit properties from the corresponding se...
