Bohmian quantum trajectories in a square billiard in the bouncing ball regime
de Sales, J.A.; Florencio, J. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 290 (2001) 1, pp. 101-106
We have studied the behavior of the Gaussian wave packet in the 2-D square billiard using Bohmian quantum mechanics. We found non-chaotic ballistic trajectories for particles with high energies. The most important aspect of these trajectories is that upon collision they obey the laws of...

Periodic orbit theory in fractal drums
Russ, Stefanie; Mellenthin, Jesper - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 357 (2005) 1, pp. 159-164
The level statistics of pseudointegrable fractal drums is studied numerically using periodic orbit theory. We find that the spectral rigidity Δ3(L), which is a measure for the correlations between the eigenvalues, decreases to quite small values (as compared to systems with only small boundary...

Stay or Flee? Probability Versus Severity of Punishment in Hit-And-Run Accidents
Castriota, Stefano; Tonin, Mirco - 2019
The empirical literature testing the economic theory of crime has extensively studied the relative importance of the probability and the severity of punishment with reference to planned criminal activities. There are, however, also unplanned crimes and in this paper we focus on a very serious...

Hit-and-Run or Hit-and-Stay? Unintended Effects of a Stricter BAC Limit
French, Michael; Gumus, Gulcin - 2024
Although they comprise a relatively small subset of all traffic deaths, hit-and-run fatalities are both contemptible and preventable. We analyze longitudinal data from 1982-2008 to examine the effects of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) laws on hit-and-run traffic fatalities. Our results...

Does Social Capital Matter? A Study of Hit-and-Run in US Counties
Castriota, Stefano; Rondinella, Sandro; Tonin, Mirco - 2022
We investigate the relationship between social capital and the decision to flee after a fatal road accident. This event is unplanned, and the decision is taken under great emotional distress and time pressure, thus providing a test of whether social capital matters for behaviour in extreme...
