Cauchy process

The Markov process defined by it is called the Cauchy process. )... 

In Figs. 4.1 and 4.2, the broken lines do not represent the sample paths of the process X(t), but join the outcoming states of the system observed at a discrete set of times f, t2,.. . , tn. To understand the behavior of X(t), it is necessary to know the transition probability. In Fig. 4.3 are given numerical simulations of a Wiener process W(t) (Brownian motion) and a Cauchy process C(t), both supposed one dimensional, stationary, and homogeneous. Their transitions functions are defined... 

The different behaviors between the two processes are striking. In contrast to the Brownian motion, which is irregular but continuous, the Cauchy process appears greatly discontinuous. 

The solution of Eq. (2.6) for infinite interval and delta-shaped initial distribution (2.8) is called the fundamental solution of Cauchy problem. If the initial value of the Markov process is not fixed, but distributed with the probability density Wo(x), then this probability density should be taken as the initial condition ... 

The essential difference between the two transition probability densities lies in the fact that for the gaussian distribution pw r, ) the different moments E[Xm], m = 1, 2,. . . , n, exist, while for the Cauchy distribution pc(j, x) they do not exist. The Levy distributions characterized by p(t, k) = exp -a k qT) with 0< <2U 127 128 play a prominent role in the theory of relaxation processes.129 133... 

In order to continue this iterative process further by descending to lower ranks, we denote by Dn(u) the determinant that is obtained by deleting the first n rows and columns from D0(u). Then by working inductively with the help of the Cauchy expansion for determinants, we obtain the generalization of Eq. (218) as ... 

The frequency dependence of a(co) is well understood and it is usually expressed by a Cauchy series. For y(co) it is only recently that a thorough description has become available[79]-[83]. In general, however, y( ) is calculated for specific frequencies (co) and individual NLO processes. 

Cancellation of the Cauchy term may bring some discrepancies, the more evident one being that, whatever h is, it leads to a zero second normal stress difference. A more subtle one concerns the loss of the thermodynamic consistency of the model. Indeed, it is not possible to find any potential function in the form Udi, I2) with h2di, I2) = 0 unless hi only depends on Ii. As mentioned by Larson [27, 28], this can induce violation of the second principle in complex flows such as those encoxmtered in processing conditions. 

We observe from numerical simulations an exponential decrease of the survival probability Sf(t) in the potential well, at the bottom of which we initialize the process. Moreover, we find that the mean crossing time assumes the scaled form (114) with scaling exponent p being approximately constant in the range 1 < a // 1.6, followed by an increase before the apparent divergence at a = 2, that leads back to the exponential form of the Brownian case, Eq. (113). An analytic calculation in the Cauchy limit a = 1 reproduces, consistently with the constant flux approximation commonly applied in the Brownian case, the scaling Tc 1/D, and, within a few percent error, the numerical value of the mean crossing time Tc. 

The Cauchy problem involving the Riesz-Feller derivative was analyzed in [166, 260]. In the next section we discuss the general Markov random processes with independent and stationary increments, the Levy processes, for which the characteristic function is known explicitly. 

If the process X t) is a symmetric a-stable Ldvy motion 5 (t) on R, then the formula (3.329) provides the solution to the Cauchy problem... 

In some cases, when the model and prototype use the same fluid, it may be difficult to meet the Reynolds number criterion. For gas processes, the corresponding velocities in the model can induce compression effects in which case the Cauchy number becomes a scaling parameter. For liquids, where compression is negligible, maintaining high fluid velocity requires excessive power. In this case, using a fluid of lower kinematic viscosity in the model, while meeting the Reynolds number criterion, provides scalable information [4]. 

Terms fj and gjx represent expectation values (e.g., oscillator strengths) of the excitation and relaxation process, respectively. It follows that, in general, the transition rate under the condition of crossing levels is greater than the discrete, which follows from Cauchy s theorem. 

The terms on the left side of the Cauchy momentum equation, which we have written symbolically as p(DylDt), represent the contribution of inertial effects to the momentum balance. The inertial effects are negligible relative to the stresses generated within the fluid in most polymer processing operations, and to a very good approximation the inertial terms can usually be dropped. (Commercial fiber spinning is an exception.) For a Newtonian fluid the relative contribution of inertial and viscous terms is expressed as a dimensionless group known as the Reynolds number,... 

We assume axisymmetry and a steady state. Commercial fiber spinning takes place at speeds on the order of 4,000 m/min (240 km/hr) and greater, so in this case inertia is important, as is aerodynamic drag this is perhaps the only polymer melt process where inertia must be considered. We therefore use the full Cauchy momentum equations, and we write the basic equations in cylindrical coordinates (Tables 2.1,2.2, and 2.5) as follows ...
