Kramers problem for a multiwell potential
Fluctuational escape from a multiwell potential is shown to display new features, as compared to the conventional single-well case. The flux J may depend on friction gamma exponentially strongly, over an exponentially long period; for small enough temperatures, J(gamma) undergoes marked oscillations in the range of small gamma, and the time evolution of J changes drastically as gamma exceeds a ...
متن کاملA Discontinuous Finite Element Method for Solving a Multiwell Problem
Abstract. Many physical materials of practical relevance can attain several variants of crystalline microstructure. The appropriate energy functional is necessarily non-convex, and the minimization of the functional becomes a challenging problem. A new numerical method based on discontinuous nite elements and a scaled energy functional is proposed. It exhibits excellent convergence behavior for...
متن کاملA Remark on the Kramers Problem
1. Evolution of a physical system can be ordered in multi-timescales. Details of evolution on short-time-scale do not need for description in a closed form of a system evolution on long-time-scale and appears on this scale only in an average form. The prototype of such kind physical systems is dissipative Brownian motion of a particle in an external potential field. In this problem, with the ex...
متن کاملKramers problem in evolutionary strategies.
We calculate the escape rates of different dynamical processes for the case of a one-dimensional symmetric double-well potential. In particular, we compare the escape rates of a Smoluchowski process, i.e., a corresponding overdamped Brownian motion dynamics in a metastable potential landscape, with the escape rates obtained for a biologically motivated model known as the Fisher-Eigen process. T...
متن کاملKramers’ problem for a variable collision frequency model
The often-studied problem known as Kramers’ problem, in the general area of rarefied-gas dynamics, is investigated in terms of a linearized, variable collision frequency model of the Boltzmann equation. A convenient change of variables is used to reduce the general case considered to a canonical form that is well suited for analysis by analytical and/or numerical methods. While the general form...
