this study proposed a new discharge estimation method using a mean velocity formula derived from chiu’s 2d velocity formula of probabilistic entropy concept and the river bed shear stress of channel. in particular, we could calculate the mean velocity, which is hardly measurable in flooding natural rivers, in consideration of several factors reflecting basic hydraulic characteristics such as r...

We study travelling kinks in the spatial discretizations of the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation, which include the discrete φ lattice and the discrete sine–Gordon lattice. The differential advance-delay equation for travelling kinks is reduced to the normal form, a scalar fourth-order differential equation, near the quadruple zero eigenvalue. We show numerically non-existence of monotonic kinks...

The known nonlinear mathematical model of the Glassy-winged Sharpshooter is considered. It is assumed that this model is influenced by stochastic perturbations of the white noise type and these perturbations are directly proportional to the deviation of the system state from the positive equilibrium point. A necessary and sufficient condition for asymptotic mean square stability of the equilibr...

Abstract. In this paper the stability of equilibrium points of the nonlinear differential equation with fractional nonlinearity is studied. It is supposed that this system is exposed to additive stochastic perturbations that are of the type of white noise and are directly proportional to the deviation of the system state from the equilibrium point. Sufficient conditions for stability in probabi...

We analyze the foundations of cyclic causal models for discrete variables, and compare structural equation models (SEMs) to an alternative semantics as the equilibrium (stationary) distribution of a Markov chain. We show under general conditions, discrete cyclic SEMs cannot have independent noise; even in the simplest case, cyclic structural equation models imply constraints on the noise. We gi...
