A NOTE ON THE MEAN SQUARE VELOCITY IN STELLAR STA TISTICS By SU-SHU HUANG

Ruiwen Shu –

We develop a family of second-order implicit-explicit (IMEX) schemes for the stiff BGK kinetic equation. The method is asymptotic-preserving (can capture the Euler limit without numerically resolving the small Knudsen number) as well as positivity-preserving — a feature that is not possessed by any of the existing second or high order IMEX schemes. The method is based on the usual IMEX Runge-Ku...

Shu ing Biological Sequences

This paper considers the following sequence shu ing problem Given a biological sequence either DNA or protein s generate a random instance among all the permutations of s that exhibit the same frequencies of k lets e g dinucleotides doublets of amino acids triplets etc Since certain biases in the usage of k lets are fundamental to biological sequences e ective generation of such sequences is es...
