Joint Multifractal Analysis and Source Testing of River Level Records Based on Multifractal Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis

The joint multifractal analysis is usually conducted in two different variables for their cross-correlations but rarely used for two records of one variable collected at two different places. It is important for the detection of change in multifractality in space. Besides, the cross-correlations in two analyzed series make the analysis of sources of joint multifractality difficult. There are few studies on the source of joint multifractality. We focus on the two issues for two level records at pairs of adjacent sites along one river and carry out an extension of our previous work which is about the single multifractality of one record with the same data set. The data set is collected from 10 observation stations of a northern China river and contains about two million high-frequency river level records. Results of joint multifractal analysis via multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis show that the change in joint multifractality at pairs of adjacent sites caused by weak cross-correlations can be detected by comparing the single generalized Hurst exponent with the joint scaling exponent function and reveal the effects of human activities on joint multifractality. This analysis provides an approach for detecting the change in multifractality. Following the idea of our previous work, two robust hypothesis tests via a set of pairs of surrogate series are proposed for the source testing of joint multifractality. The analysis of the effects of cross-correlations is carried out via a proposed simultaneously half-shifting technique which can both minimize the cross-correlations between original series and make full use of records. Results of source analysis show not only the effects of autocorrelations in series and probability distribution of river levels but also the effects of cross-correlations between series.

Lattice gas generalization of the hard hexagon model. III.q-Trinomial coefficients

In the first two papers in this series we considered an extension of the hard hexagon model to a solvable two-dimensional lattice gas with at most two particles per pair of adjacent sites, and we described the local densities in terms of elliptic theta functions. Here we present the mathematical theory behind our derivation of the local densities. Our work centers onq-analogs of trinomial coefficients.

Lattice gas generalization of the hard hexagon model. II. The local densities as elliptic functions

In a previous paper we considered an extension of the hard hexagon model to a solvable two-dimensional lattice gas with at most two particles per pair of adjacent sites. Here we use various mathematical identities (in particular Gordon's generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan relations) to express the local densities in terms of elliptic functions. The critical behavior is then readily obtained.

Lattice gas generalization of the hard hexagon model. I. Star-triangle relation and local densities

In the solvable hard hexagon model there is at most one particle in every pair of adjacent sites, and the solution automatically leads to various mathematical identities, in particular to the Rogers-Ramanujan relations. These relations have been generalized by Gordon. Here we construct a solvable model with at most two particles per pair of adjacent sites, and find the solution involves the next of Gordon's relations. We conjecture the corresponding solution for a model with at mostn particles per pair of adjacent sites: this involves all Gordon's relations, as well as others that we will discuss in a subsequent paper.

The interaction of oxygen with clean lead telluride surfaces

The kinetics of oxygen adsorption on lead telluride surfaces, produced by crushing in vacuo, have been investigated in the temperature range 195°K–303°K. Apart from a small amount of initial fast reaction, a single reaction mechanism is operative up to 0.7 monolayer coverage. The adsorption process is interpreted in terms of localized immobile adsorption on pairs of adjacent sites. The activation energy as a function of coverage and the temperature dependence of the sticking coefficient are presented, the value of the latter being 3.2 × 10 −8 at 298°K. The configuration of the adsorbed oxygen is shown to be a peroxide surface complex, since such a configuration gives the largest heat of adsorption of the (reasonable) cases considered.
