Diffusion in hierarchies

Physical Review A, 1988
In this paper we show that diffusion processes in a ``complex'' phase space with many local minima can be mapped into a random-walk problem on a tree structure. We then rigorously solve the latter problem for regular trees, under quite general assumptions about the rates. Finally, we extend our results to the case of inhomogeneous trees.

The hierarchy

2004
AbstractThe last chapter discussed the fact that some properties, such as non-self-membership, are not collectivizing (i.e., do not give rise to collections). It discouraged the notion that this is particularly surprising in itself, but did not provide a diagnosis.

A Hierarchy of Stressors

Journal of Mental Science, 1955
It is established that healthy individuals and schizophrenics respond in different ways if subjected to stressors (“alarming stimuli”) under seemingly identical conditions. It is also common knowledge that healthy individuals react differently under the impact of “alarming stimuli” than individuals already under stress, i.e.

HIERARCHIES IN CONTROL

Journal of Biological Systems, 1995
The living cell functions by virtue of an enormous number of different processes. It is one of the most difficult challenges of modern biology to elucidate how all those processes are coordinated quantitatively so as to lead to a viable system with optimal responses to various changes in the environment.

AUTONOMY AND HIERARCHY

Social Philosophy and Policy, 2003
In autonomous action the agent herself directs and governs the action. But what is it for the agent herself to direct and to govern? One theme in a series of articles by Harry G. Frankfurt is that we can make progress in answering this question by appeal to higher-order conative attitudes.

Axiomatic foundation of the analytic hierarchy process

, 1986
This paper contains an axiomatic treatment of the Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP. The set of axioms corresponding to hierarchic structures are a special case of axioms for priority setting in systems with feedback which allow for a wide class of ...

The ETOL Hierarchy is in the oi Hierarchy

1986
There exist several interesting hierarchies of classes of formal languages that start with rather small well-known classes (such as the regular or context-free languages) and contain larger and larger classes, obtained by the iteration of some simple concept.
