The main purpose of this note is to present a new approach to Poisson Approximations. Some bounds in Poisson Approximations in term of classical Le Cam’s inequalities for various row-wise triangular arrays of independent Poisson-binomial distributed random variables are established via probability distances based on Trotter-Renyi operators. Some analogous results related to random sums in Poiss...

Using a Poisson bracket representation, in 3D, of the Lie algebra sl(2), we first use highest weight representations to embed this into larger Lie algebras. These are then interpreted as symmetry and conformal symmetry algebras of the “kinetic energy”, related to the quadratic Casimir function. We then consider the potentials which can be added, whilst remaining integrable, leading to families ...

The covariant Boltzmann equation for a relativistic gas mixture is used to formulate a theory of relativistic irreversible thermodynamics. The modified moment method is applied to derive various evolution equations for macroscopic variables from the covariant Boltzmann equation. The method rigorously yields the entropy differential which is not an exact differential if

We apply Hardy-Littlewood’s Tauberian theorem to obtain an estimate on the harmonic expansion of a complex measure on the unit sphere, using a monotonicity property for positive harmonic functions. Let Bn = {x ∈ Rn : |x| < 1}, n ≥ 2 be the unit ball in Rn and Sn−1 = ∂Bn be the unit sphere. From a monotonicity property, we obtain a precise asymptotic for the spherical harmonic expansion of a com...

The classical theory of transport processes is based on the Boltzmann transport equation. The equation can be derived simply by defining a distribution function and inspecting its time derivative. From this equation, many important results can be derived. In addition to some of the textbook results from the Boltzmann transport equation, it is still being used in many contemporary research proje...

Electrostatic interactions play crucial roles in biophysical processes such as protein folding and molecular recognition. Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE)-based models have emerged as widely used in modeling these important processes. Though great efforts have been put into developing efficient PBE numerical models, challenges still remain due to the high dimensionality of typical biomolecular ...

The thermal ray theory is applied to the expérimental thermal scan on a razor blade. Good magnitude agreemettt is obtained using a far-field ray formula provided correction is made for the Boltzmann blackbody radiation law. The effect of conductivity variation with température is found to be small.

In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 061102 (2007)], we announced the complete integrability of geodesic motion in the general higher-dimensional rotating black-hole spacetimes. In the present paper we prove all the necessary steps leading to this conclusion. In particular, we demonstrate the independence of the constants of motion and the fact that they Poisson commute. The relation to a different set of ...

Electrostatic interactions play a central role in biological processes. Development of fast computational methods to solve the underlying Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) is vital for biomolecular modeling and simulation package. In this paper, we propose new methods for efficiently computing the electrostatic potentials for large molecules by using the geometry of the molecular shapes to guide...
