Zuan Jin, Minghui Ma, Shidong Liang, Hongguang Yao

Summary: This study proposes a differential variable speed limit (DVSL) control strategy considering lane assignment, which sets dynamic speed limits for each lane to attract vehicle lane-changing behaviors before the bottleneck and reduce the impact of traffic capacity drop. Experimental results show that the proposed DVSL control strategy can alleviate traffic congestion and improve efficiency.

Summary: This paper proposes an extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm based on residual correction and Tent chaos sequence (TRELM-DROP) for accurate prediction of traffic flow. The algorithm reduces the impact of randomness in traffic flow through the Tent chaos strategy and residual correction method, and avoids weight optimization using the iterative method. A DROP strategy is introduced to improve the algorithm's ability to predict traffic flow under varying conditions.

Langevin picture of subdiffusive particles under the joint influence of an expanding medium and an external constant force

Xudong Wang, Yao Chen

Summary: This article investigates the joint influence of expanding medium and constant force on particle diffusion. By starting from the Langevin picture and introducing the effect of external force in two different ways, two models with different force terms are obtained. Detailed analysis and derivation yield the Fokker-Planck equations and moments for the two models. The sustained force behaves as a decoupled force, while the intermittent force changes the diffusion behavior with specific effects depending on the expanding rate of the medium.

Joint estimation of Ising model parameters with Hamiltonian constraint

Oliver Smirnov

Summary: This study proposes a new method for simultaneously estimating the parameters of the 2D Ising model. The method solves a constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is a pseudo-log-likelihood and the constraint is the Hamiltonian of the external field. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using models of different shapes and sizes to evaluate the performance of the method with and without the Hamiltonian constraint. The results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method yields lower variance across all model shapes and sizes compared to a simple pseudo-maximum likelihood.

First-passage time statistics for non-linear diffusion

Przemyslaw Chelminiak

Summary: The study investigates the first-passage properties of a non-linear diffusion equation with diffusivity dependent on the concentration/probability density through a power-law relationship. The survival probability and first-passage time distribution are determined based on the power-law exponent, and both exact and approximate expressions are derived, along with their asymptotic representations. The results pertain to diffusing particles that are either freely or harmonically trapped. The mean first-passage time is finite for the harmonically trapped particle, while it is divergent for the freely diffusing particle.

Cluster distributions for dynamically defined point processes

Corentin Correia, Ana Cristina Moreira Freitas, Jorge Milhazes Freitas

Summary: The emergence of clustering of rare events is due to periodicity, where fast returns to target sets lead to a bulk of high observations. In this research, we explore the potential of a new mechanism to create clustering of rare events by linking observable functions to a finite number of points belonging to the same orbit. We show that with the right choice of system and observable, any given cluster size distribution can be obtained.

Specific heat of a driven lattice gas

Pritha Dolai, Christian Maes

Summary: Calorimetry for equilibrium systems aims to determine the energy levels' occupation and distribution by measuring thermal response, while nonequilibrium versions provide additional information on the dynamical accessibility of these states. Using calculations on a driven exclusion process, it is confirmed that a fermionic nonequilibrium steady state with exact computation of specific heat can be achieved. The divergence at zero temperature occurs when the Fermi energy and the kinetic barrier for loading and emptying are approximately equal. Additionally, a stable low temperature regime of negative specific heat appears when the kinetic barrier is density-dependent, indicating an anti-correlation between the stationary occupation's temperature-dependence and excess heat.

A new coefficient of restitution (CoR) is proposed to determine the actual physical impact. A new contact force model with a fluid damping factor tailored for immersed collision events is proposed.
