Popular data assimilation algorithms include sequential Monte Carlo methods and ensemble Kalman filters (EnKFs). These methods differ in the way Bayesian inference is implemented. Sequential Monte Carlo methods rely on importance sampling combined with a resampling step, while EnKFs utilize a linear transformation of Monte Carlo samples based on the classic Kalman filter. While EnKFs have proven to be quite robust even for small ensemble sizes, they are not consistent since their derivation relies on a linear regression ansatz. In this paper, we propose another transform method, which does not rely on any a priori assumptions on the underlying prior and posterior distributions. The new method is based on solving an optimal transportation problem for discrete random variables.}, language = {en} } @article{DebusscheHoegeleImkeller2013, author = {Debussche, Arnaud and Hoegele, Michael and Imkeller, Peter}, title = {The source of stochastic models in conceptual climate dynamics}, series = {Lecture notes in mathematics : a collection of informal reports and seminars}, volume = {2085}, journal = {Lecture notes in mathematics : a collection of informal reports and seminars}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-319-00828-8; 978-3-319-00827-1}, issn = {0075-8434}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-00828-8}, pages = {151 -- 157}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{DebusscheHoegeleImkeller2013, author = {Debussche, Arnaud and H{\"o}gele, Michael and Imkeller, Peter}, title = {Localization and metastability}, series = {Lecture notes in mathematics : a collection of informal reports and seminars}, volume = {2085}, journal = {Lecture notes in mathematics : a collection of informal reports and seminars}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-319-00828-8; 978-3-319-00827-1}, issn = {0075-8434}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-00828-8_7}, pages = {131 -- 149}, year = {2013}, abstract = {In this chapter, equipped with our previously obtained knowledge of exit and transition times in the limit of small noise amplitude ??0 , we shall investigate the global asymptotic behavior of our jump diffusion process in the time scale in which transitions occur, i.e. in the scale given by ?0(?)=?(1?Bc?(0)),?,?>0 .

Despite the involved uncertainties and complexity, simple statistical models for a quasi-period recurrence of on-fault events are implemented in seismic hazard assessments. To test the applicability of statistical models, such as the Brownian relaxation oscillator or the stress release model, we perform a systematic comparison with deterministic simulations based on rate- and state-dependent friction, high-resolution representations of fault systems and quasi-dynamic rupture propagation. For the specific fault network of the Lower Rhine Embayment, Germany, we run both stochastic and deterministic model simulations based on the same fault geometries and stress interactions. Our results indicate that the stochastic simulators are able to reproduce the first-order characteristics of the major earthquakes on isolated faults as well as for coupled faults with moderate stress interactions. However, we find that all tested statistical models fail to reproduce the characteristics of strongly coupled faults, because multisegment rupturing resulting from a spatiotemporally correlated stress field is underestimated in the stochastic simulators.

Third, in mathematical physics, Birkhoff's theorem reads: up to singular exceptions of measure zero, the spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equation with Lambda = 0 can be expressed by the Schwarzschild metric; for Lambda unequal 0, it is the Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric instead. Fourth, in differential geometry, any statement of the type: every member of a family of pseudo-Riemannian space-times has more isometries than expected from the original metric ansatz, carries the name Birkhoff-type theorem. Within the fourth of these classes we present some new results with further values of dimension and signature of the related spaces; including them are some counterexamples: families of space-times where no Birkhoff-type theorem is valid.

We derive particular properties of such processes that have not been available before. Our results include description of the maximal distance reached from the starting point and the position from which detachment takes place. Finally, we apply our theoretical results to a concrete established model of the transport molecule Kinesin V.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{BagderinaTarkhanov2013, author = {Bagderina, Yulia Yu. and Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich}, title = {Differential invariants of a class of Lagrangian systems with two degrees of freedom}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-63129}, year = {2013}, abstract = {We consider systems of Euler-Lagrange equations with two degrees of freedom and with Lagrangian being quadratic in velocities. For this class of equations the generic case of the equivalence problem is solved with respect to point transformations. Using Lie's infinitesimal method we construct a basis of differential invariants and invariant differentiation operators for such systems. We describe certain types of Lagrangian systems in terms of their invariants. The results are illustrated by several examples.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Keller2013, author = {Keller, Peter}, title = {Mathematical modeling of molecular motors}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-63045}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Amongst the many complex processes taking place in living cells, transport of cargoes across the cytosceleton is fundamental to cell viability and activity. To move cargoes between the different cell parts, cells employ Molecular Motors. The motors operate by transporting cargoes along the so-called cellular micro-tubules, namely rope-like structures that connect, for instance, the cell-nucleus and outer membrane. We introduce a new Markov Chain, the killed Quasi-Random-Walk, for such transport molecules and derive properties like the maximal run length and time. Furthermore we introduce permuted balance, which is a more flexible extension of the ordinary reversibility and introduce the notion of Time Duality, which compares certain passage times pathwise. We give a number of sufficient conditions for Time Duality based on the geometry of the transition graph. Both notions are closely related to properties of the killed Quasi-Random-Walk.}, language = {en} }
