The Dynamics of Efficiency: A Simple Model
S. N. Majumdar, P. L. Krapivsky
We propose a simple model that describes the dynamics of efficiencies of competing agents. Agents communicate leading to increase of efficiencies of underachievers, and an efficien…

Extremal Paths on a Random Cayley Tree
Satya N. Majumdar, P. L. Krapivsky
We investigate the statistics of extremal path(s) (both the shortest and the longest) from the root to the bottom of a Cayley tree. The lengths of the edges are assumed to be indep…

Ballistic Annihilation
Paul L. Kaprivsky, Clément Sire
Ballistic annihilation with continuous initial velocity distributions is investigated in the framework of Boltzmann equation. The particle density and the rms velocity decay as $c=…
