Dispersion measures and dispersive orderings [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics & Probability Letters, 2003
In this paper, the comparison of random variables according to the functionals of a general class of dispersion measures is characterized in terms of the dilation order. The Gini's mean difference is a particular member of this general class. In addition, a new and weaker order, called the second-order absolute Lorenz ordering, is introduced, and we ...

Dispersive stabilization [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2010
Ill posed linear and nonlinear initial value problems may be stabilized, that it converted to to well posed initial value problems, by the addition of purely nonscalar linear dispersive terms. This is a stability analog of the Turing instability. This idea applies to systems of quasilinear Schrödinger equations from nonlinear optics.

Shock Waves in Dispersive Hydrodynamics with Nonconvex Dispersion [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2017
Dissipationless hydrodynamics regularized by dispersion describe a number of physical media including water waves, nonlinear optics, and Bose-Einstein condensates. As in the classical theory of hyperbolic equations where a non-convex flux leads to non-classical solution structures, a non-convex linear dispersion relation provides an intriguing ...

Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

The Dispersion Bias

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
Estimation error has plagued quantitative finance since Harry Markowitz launched modern portfolio theory in 1952. Using random matrix theory, we characterize a source of bias in the sample eigenvectors of financial covariance matrices. Unchecked, the bias distorts weights of minimum variance portfolios and leads to risk forecasts that are severely ...

Ants cannot account for interpopulation dispersal of the arillate pea Daviesia triflora [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
• Estimating distances and rates of seed dispersal, especially long-distance dispersal (LDD), is critical for understanding the dynamics of patchily distributed populations and species’ range shifts in response to environmental change.

Integrating Disturbance, Seasonality, Multi-Year Temporal Dynamics, and Dormancy Into the Dynamics and Conservation of Metacommunities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The metacommunity framework has rapidly become a dominant concept used by ecologists to understand community assembly. By emphasizing extinction-colonization dynamics, dispersal, and species’ niche requirements in determining community structure ...

Early Life History and Recruitment Processes of a Tropical Anguillid Eel Anguilla marmorata to the Pacific Coast, as Revealed by Otolith Sr:Ca Ratios and Microstructure

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Recent progress in otolith microchemistry especially in strontium:calcium (Sr:Ca) ratios has revealed significant features of life histories in fishes. A catadromous eel, Anguilla marmorata, has the widest distribution among anguillid eels throughout the
