A growing interface subject to noise is described by the KardarParisi-Zhang equation or, equivalently, the noisy Burgers equation. In one dimension this equation is analyzed by means of a weak noise canonical phase space approach applied to the associated Fokker-Planck equation. The growth morphology is characterized by a gas of nonlinear soliton modes with superimposed linear diffusive modes. ...

We investigate flux front penetration in a disordered type-II superconductor by molecular dynamics simulations of interacting vortices and find scaling laws for the front position and the density profile. The scaling can be understood by performing a coarse graining of the system and writing a disordered nonlinear diffusion equation. Integrating numerically the equation, we observe a crossover ...

We explore the perturbative QCD corrections to the inclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons. In inclusive B decay processes the parton picture works well and the scaling feature manifests because the mass of b quark is larger than the QCD scale. Due to this property, the decay rate may be expressed by a single structure function describing the light–cone distribution of b quark apart from the ...

The main focus of this paper is to derive new diagonal updating scheme via the direct weak secant equation. This new scheme allows us to improve the accuracy of the Hessian’s approximation and is also capable to utilize information gathered about the function in previous iterations. It follows by an scaling approach that employs scaling parameter based upon the proposed weak secant equation to ...

The relationship of Choptuik scaling to the scale invariance of Einstein’s equation is explored. Ordinary dynamical systems often have limit cycles: periodic orbits that are the asymptotic limit of generic solutions. We show how to separate Einstein’s equation into the dynamics of the overall scale and the dynamics of the “scale invariant” part of the metric. Periodicity of the scale invariant ...
