First-order Chapman–Enskog velocity distribution function in a granular gas

Montanero, José María; Santos, Andrés; Garzó, Vicente - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 376 (2007) C, pp. 75-93

A method is devised to measure the first-order Chapman–Enskog (CE) velocity distribution function associated with the …, in the linear response regime, the deviation of the velocity distribution function from that of the homogeneous cooling … Boltzmann framework. This is further confirmed by an analysis of the first-order CE velocity distribution function and its three …

Testing for discontinuity or type of distribution

Garrod, Neil; Pirkovic, Sonja Ratej; Valentincic, Aljosa - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 71 (2006) 1, pp. 9-15

In this paper, we propose a simple test for the continuity of a distribution function or of the type of distribution … assumptions regarding the underlying distribution function are necessary. Nonetheless, by use of the Chebyshev inequality we are …

Teaching an old dog new tricks: Improved estimation of the parameters of SDEs by numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation

Hurn, Stan; Jeisman, J.; Lindsay, K.A. - School of Economics and Finance, Business School - 2006

Many stochastic differential equations (SDEs) do not have readily available closed-form expressions for their transitional probability density functions (PDFs). As a result, a large number of competing estimation approaches have been proposed in order to obtain maximum-likelihood estimates of...
