Some current and some older projects
Here are some brief descriptions, links, and accompanying images for a number
of my research projects.
The above link includes list of errata,
exercises, and 3 book reviews (last updated Jan. 25, 2003).
My book, "A Guide to First-Passage Processes" was published by Cambridge
University Press in August 2001. The cover illustration is given below. It
is meant to illustrate first-passage in a finite interval where death awaits
at one boundary and a restaurant date awaits at the other. Click on the
title to get more information, including book reviews, list of errata, and
exercises. Click here to view the table of
contents.
Space-time diagram of A+A--->0 in one dimension when each particle
equiprobably has a velocity +V or -V, as well as a superimposed diffusion
with diffusion coefficient D.
This is a symmetric random walk in one dimension in which the
length of the nth step equal to g-n, where
g=(1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. The probability distribution of
this process is shown below.
Snapshots of the evolution of a growing surface when particles are
ballistically incident at angles of +7.125 or -7.125 degrees (arctan(1/8))
from the horizontal and stick irreversibly to the deposit upon first contact.
This page contains links to a variety of sites with data about the citation
statistics of scientific publications including:
- Citation distribution for the period 1981-1997 based on all papers
catalogued by the Institute for Scientific Information.
- Citation count of the 1120 Top-Cited Physicists from 1981-1997.
- List of the 10858 top-cited Chemists.
- Citation Distribution for Phys. Rev. D Publications from 1975-1994 based on data compiled by the SPIRES High-Energy Physics Database at SLAC.
- The home page of the SPIRES database.
This page contains information about the statistics of city populations and
related interesting demographic information. The source of this information
is the U.S. Census Bureau's website. Information about the population
history of selected U. S. cities is also given separately.
