Tunneling-assisted impact ionization fronts in semiconductors
P. Rodin, U. Ebert, W. Hundsdorfer +1
We propose a novel type of ionization front in layered semiconductor structures. The propagation is due to the interplay of band-to-band tunneling and impact ionization. Our numeri…
Spontaneous Branching of Anode-Directed Streamers between Planar Electrodes
Manuel Arrayas, Ute Ebert, Willem Hundsdorfer
Non-ionized media subject to strong fields can become locally ionized by penetration of finger-shaped streamers. We study negative streamers between planar electrodes in a simple d…
The similarity metric
Ming Li, Xin Chen, Xin Li +2
A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences, say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new ``normalized inform…
Meaningful Information
Paul Vitanyi
The information in an individual finite object (like a binary string) is commonly measured by its Kolmogorov complexity. One can divide that information into two parts: the informa…
Tolstoy's Mathematics in "War and Peace"
Paul Vitanyi
The nineteenth century Russian author Leo Tolstoy based his egalitarian views on sociology and history on mathematical and probabilistic views, and he also proposed a mathematical…
A New Approach to Formal Language Theory by Kolmogorov Complexity
Ming Li, Paul Vitanyi
We present a new approach to formal language theory using Kolmogorov complexity. The main results presented here are an alternative for pumping lemma(s), a new characterization for…
