Mixing time for a 3-cycle interacting particle system : a coupling approach

Creator:

Eves, Matthew Jasper

Abstract:

This thesis examines the mixing times for one-dimensional interacting particle systems. We use the coupling method to study the mixing rates for particle systems on the circle which move according to specific permutations e.g., transpositions and 3-cycles.

Sensitivity analysis as "propagation of error" and model validation

Creator:

Overton, W. Scott

Abstract:

Conclusion: The first part of this note deals with problems of propagation of error and the latter part with questions commonly identified as "model validation" questions. It is concluded that all validation questions can be resolved into two parts: (1) strategic aspects, involving logical and inferential structures and (2) tactical...
