  Abstract: We analyze Linear Programming (LP) decoding of graphical binary codes operating over soft-output, symmetric and log-concave channels. We show that the error-surface, separating domain of the correct decoding from domain of the erroneous decoding, is a polytope. We formulate the problem of finding the lowest-weight pseudo-codeword as a non-convex optimization (maximization of a convex function) over a polytope, with the cost function defined by the channel and the polytope defined by the structure of the code. This formulation suggests new provably convergent heuristics for finding the lowest weight pseudo-codewords improving in quality upon previously discussed. The algorithm performance is tested on the example of the Tanner [155,64,20] code over the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. © 2011 IEEE.

  Abstract: Here we develop an approach to predict power grid weak points, and specifically to efficiently identify the most probable failure modes in static load distribution for a given power network. This approach is applied to two examples: Guam's power system and also the IEEE RTS-96 system, both modeled within the static dc power flow model. Our algorithm is a power network adaption of the worst configuration heuristics, originally developed to study low probability events in physics and failures in error-correction. One finding is that, if the normal operational mode of the grid is sufficiently healthy, the failure modes, also called instantons, are sufficiently sparse, i.e., the failures are caused by load fluctuations at only a few buses. The technique is useful for discovering weak links which are saturated at the instantons. It can also identify generators working at the capacity and generators under capacity, thus providing predictive capability for improving the reliability of any power network. © 2010 IEEE.

  Abstract: In this manuscript we continue the thread of [M. Chertkov, F. Pan, M. Stepanov, Predicting Failures in Power Grids: The Case of Static Overloads, IEEE Smart Grid 2011] and suggest a new algorithm discovering most probable extreme stochastic events in static power grids associated with intermittent generation of wind turbines. The algorithm becomes EXACT and EFFICIENT (polynomial) in the case of the proportional (or other low parametric) control of standard generation, and log-concave probability distribution of the renewable generation, assumed known from the wind forecast. We illustrate the algorithm's ability to discover problematic extreme events on the example of the IEEE RTS-96 model of transmission with additions of 10%;20% and 30% of renewable generation. We observe that the probability of failure may grow but it may also decrease with increase in renewable penetration, if the latter is sufficiently diversified and distributed. © 2011 IEEE.

  Abstract: In this paper we propose a method which provides a full description of solitary wave solutions of the Schrödinger equation with periodically varying dispersion. This method is based on analysis and polynomial deformation of the spectrum of an iterative map. Using this method we discover a new family of antisymmetric bisoliton solutions. In addition to the fact that these solutions are of interest for nonlinear fiber optics and the theory of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodic coefficients, they have potential applications for increasing of bit-rate in high speed optical fiber communications. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

  More info

  Abstract: In linear programming (LP) decoding of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code one minimizes a linear functional, with coefficients related to log-likelihood ratios, over a relaxation of the polytope spanned by the codewords. In order to quantify LP decoding it is important to study vertexes of the relaxed polytope, so-called pseudocodewords. We propose a technique to heuristically create a list of pseudocodewords close to the zero codeword and their distances. Our pseudocodeword-search algorithm starts by randomly choosing configuration of the noise. The configuration is modified through a discrete number of steps. Each step consists of two substeps: one applies an LP decoder to the noise-configuration deriving a pseudocodeword, and then finds configuration of the noise equidistant from the pseudocodeword and the zero codeword. The resulting noise configuration is used as an entry for the next step. The iterations converge rapidly to a pseudocodeword neighboring the zero codeword. Repeated many times, this procedure is characterized by the distribution function of the pseudocodeword effective distance. The efficiency of the procedure is demonstrated on examples of the Tanner code and Margulis codes operating over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. © 2008 IEEE.

  Abstract: Belief Propagation (BP) and Linear Programming (LP) decodings of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes are discussed. We summarize results of instanton/pseudo-codeword approach developed for analysis of the error-floor domain of the codes. Instantons are special, code and decoding specific, configurations of the channel noise contributing most to the Frame-Error-Rate (FER). Instantons are decoded into pseudo-codewords. Instanton/pseudo-codeword with the lowest weight describes the largest Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) asymptotic of FER, while the whole spectra of the low weight instantons is descriptive of the FER vs SNR profile in the extended error-floor domain. First, we describe a general optimization method that allows to find the instantons for any coding/decoding. Second, we introduce LP-specific pseudo-codeword search algorithm that allows efficient calculations of the pseudo-codeword spectra. Finally, we discuss results of combined BP/LP error-floor exploration experiments for two model codes.

  Abstract: A mean field model is presented that describes droplet growth resulting from condensation and collisions and droplet loss resulting from fallout. The model allows for an effective numerical simulation. The numerical scheme that is conservative in water mass and keeps accurate count of the number of droplets is applied, and the way in which the rain initiation time depends on different parameters is studied. In particular, it is shown that the rain initiation time depends nonmonotonically (has a minimum) on the number of cloud condensation nuclei. Also presented is a simple model that allows one to estimate the rain initiation time for turbulent clouds with an inhomogeneous concentration of cloud condensation nuclei. It is argued that by overseeding even a part of a cloud by small hygroscopic nuclei one can substantially delay the onset of precipitation. © 2006 American Meteorological Society.

  Abstract: We apply a semiclassical approach to the scattering problem of a vibrational wave packet in the vicinity of a conical intersection of electronic energy surfaces and derive analytical expressions for the scattering matrix. The latter are valid when the scattering length that scales as â., is small and a wave packet passes through the scattering region with a constant velocity. The analytical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations for a realistic set of parameters. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

  Abstract: We have measured the shape of the Autler-Townes doublet and the peak of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) under plasma conditions. We compare the experimental results with the calculated spectrum of the probe field of a three-level ArII A-scheme by taking into account Coulomb collisions. We show that the Coulomb broadening of the EIT peak is small (less than 40%), while the saturation resonance is broadened under the experimental conditions by a factor of 3. In contrast to the saturation resonance attributable to the Bennett dip in the velocity distribution of the population, the EIT peak is a coherent effect and is broadened mainly through Coulomb dephasing. © 2004 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".

  PMID: 15245088;Abstract: The growth of density inhomogeneities was investigated in a flow of wave turbulence. The conditions for a nonzero sum of the Lyapunov exponents was found which provides for an exponential growth of density inhomogeneities. The leading order contribution came from the pair of waves having coinciding frequencies but producing different stokes drifts. It was observed that nonzero Lyapunov exponents appear in two and three dimensions both for potential and solenoidal waves.

  Abstract: In traditional optical soliton systems, arrival time jitter due the spontaneous emission noise and pulse-to-pulse interaction are two major factors limiting performance. As such, a theoretical method to calculate jitter statistics of interacting solitons is developed. Applying this approach, a non-Gaussian probability density function and calculated bit-error rate as a function of noise level, initial separation and phase difference between solitons is derived.

  PMID: 12226661;Abstract: Vapour condensation in cloud cores produces small droplets that are close to one another in size. Droplets are believed to grow to raindrop size by coalescence due to collision1,2. Air turbulence is thought to be the main cause for collisions of similar-sized droplets exceeding radii of a few micrometres, and therefore rain prediction requires a quantitative description of droplet collision in turbulence1-5. Turbulent vortices act as small centrifuges that spin heavy droplets out, creating concentration inhomogeneities6-14 and jets of droplets, both of which increase the mean collision rate. Here we derive a formula for the collision rate of small heavy particles in a turbulent flow, using a recently developed formalism for tracing random trajectories15,16. We describe an enhancement of inertial effects by turbulence intermittency and an interplay between turbulence and gravity that determines the collision rate. We present a new mechanism, the 'sling effect', for collisions due to jets of droplets that become detached from the air flow. We conclude that air turbulence can substantially accelerate the appearance of large droplets that trigger rain.

  Abstract: Continuous-wave generation is demonstrated of the anti-Stokes Raman laser in new ∧ scheme ArII 3d′ 2G9/2 → 4p′ 2F7/2 → 4s′2 D5/2 with long-lived start and final levels. Red pump radiation with wavelength λp = 611 nm from a dye laser that excites transition 3d′2G9/2 → 4p′ 2 F7/2 is converted into the blue radiation at λ = 461 nm (4p′ 2 F7/2 → 4s′ 2D5/2) with efficiency of about 30%. The tunability range spans more than ± 10 GHz around exact resonance, which is five times as wide as the Doppler contour. The output frequency ω is found to depend linearly on the frequency ωP of the pump field: ω ≃ ωP λP /λ. A sharp peak of output power is observed in the detuning curve at the exact resonance instead of well-known two-photon dip. The model is proposed that includes ionic scattering in plasma and interaction of the running pump and standing output waves. The derived formula offers an interpretation of the observed peak.

  Abstract: For the case where the Rabi frequencies of the guiding fields are much larger than the relaxation constants but much smaller than the Doppler broadening, it is shown that resonances which are neither field nor Doppler broadened can appear in the absorption (or gain) spectrum of the probe field. A classification of fourlevel systems according to the number of resonances is made for cases where two strong fields interact either with opposite or adjoining transitions. The conditions under which the number of resonances reaches eight, while for stationary atoms the maximum number is four, are found. A method is proposed for calculating the number of resonances in a multilevel system with several strong fields using analysis of the extremum points of the frequency branches in the velocity-frequency plane. © 2000 MAIK "Naiika/Interperiodica".

  Abstract: The absorption spectrum of a gas with a large Doppler width and soft collisions between particles is studied. The particles are assumed to have a nonlinear dependence of the resonance frequency on velocity. The shape of the narrow peak in the spectrum resulting from an extremum of this dependence is calculated analytically for the first time. In the absence of collisions it has a characteristic asymmetric shape. Collisions are shown to broaden the line and change its shape. The profile of the probe-field spectrum is obtained for a three-level system with the strong field at an adjacent transition. The components of the Autler-Townes doublet are found to spread and repel each other because of collisions. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

  Abstract: We derive an expression in terms of cylinder functions for the shape of a nonlinear resonance in a two-level system with a rapidly decaying level. We show that when the natural linewidth is negligible, the square of the total width is the sum of squares of the power and diffusion widths. The traditional variational approximation yields a correct value for the full width at half maximum, but distorts the line profile. We derive a formula for the absorbed power as a function of the incident wave intensity for comparable power and diffusion broadening. The formula is found to be valid for a power width that is small or large compared to the diffusion width, and in a new intermediate domain where homogeneous saturation becomes inhomogeneous. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

  Abstract: The Bennett hole is analysed for a medium of two-level particles with weak collisions beyond the scope of the perturbation theory. In the limit of small homogeneous width, the analytical expression for the hole shape is of the form of a Bessel function. The result is compared with data obtained by the variational approximation and numerical calculation. It is shown that the approximation gives the correct width, but an incorrect shape.

  Abstract: The profile of a Bennett hole, induced by a laser field, in the ionic distribution of a collisional plasma is calculated. The influence of Chandrasekhar's dependence of the coefficients of velocity space transport on the profile is included in the calculation for the first time. It is found that the hole narrows down as the field-detuning frequency increases. The physical cause for this effect is the falling dependence of the Coulomb collision frequency on the ionic velocity. Estimations show that the effect is quite observable under conditions of a high-current gas-discharge plasma.
