Discretized diffusion processes

چکیده
We study the properties of the "rigid Laplacian" operator; that is we consider solutions of the Laplacian equation in the presence of fixed truncation errors. The dynamics of convergence to the correct analytical solution displays the presence of a metastable set of numerical solutions, whose presence can be related to granularity. We provide some scaling analysis in order to determine the value of the exponents characterizing the process. We believe that this prototype model is also suitable to provide an explanation of the widespread presence of power law in a social and economic system where information and decision diffuse, with errors and delay from agent to agent.

Stochastic analysis of reaction-diffusion processes.
Reaction and diffusion processes are used to model chemical and biological processes over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Several routes to the diffusion process at various levels of description in time and space are discussed and the master equation for spatially discretized systems involving reaction and diffusion is developed. We discuss an estimator for the appropriate compartm...
متن کاملEdge Detection Algorithm Inspired by Pattern Formation Processes of Reaction-Diffusion Systems
This paper presents a quick review of reactiondiffusion systems and the application of a discretized version of a reaction-diffusion system to edge detection in image processing. A reaction-diffusion system refers to a system consisting of diffusion processes coupled with reaction processes. Several reaction-diffusion systems exhibit pattern formation processes, in which the systems self-organi...
متن کاملAccurate discretization of advection-diffusion equations.
We present an exact mathematical transformation which converts a wide class of advection-diffusion equations into a form allowing simple and direct spatial discretization in all dimensions, and thus the construction of accurate and more efficient numerical algorithms. These discretized forms can also be viewed as master equations which provide an alternative mesoscopic interpretation of advecti...
متن کاملConsistent Positive Directional Splitting of Anisotropic Diffusion
Anisotropic nonlinear diffusion filters describe a large class of powerful image filtering operations. In order to be applicable to sampled data, the continuous diffusion equations have to be discretized, e.g. using additive operator splitting scheme which approximates the continuous equation by one-dimensional processes along several chosen directions. In this paper we concentrate on one step ...
متن کاملA Stochastic Approach for Simulating Spatially Inhomogeneous Coagulation Dynamics in the Gelation Regime
We present a stochastic approach for the simulation of coagulation-diffusion dynamics in the gelation regime. The method couples the mass flow algorithm for coagulation processes with a stochastic variant of the diffusion-velocity method in a discretized framework. The simulation of the stochastic processes occurs according to an optimized implementation of the principle of grouping the possibl...
متن کاملStochastic reaction-diffusion kinetics in the microscopic limit.
Quantitative analysis of biochemical networks often requires consideration of both spatial and stochastic aspects of chemical processes. Despite significant progress in the field, it is still computationally prohibitive to simulate systems involving many reactants or complex geometries using a microscopic framework that includes the finest length and time scales of diffusion-limited molecular i...
