Under the formalism of annealed averaging of the partition function, two types of random multifractal measures with their probability of multipliers satisfying power distribution and triangular distribution are investigated mathematically. In these two illustrations branching emerges in the curve of generalized dimensions, and more abnormally, negative values of generalized dimensions arise. Therefore, we classify the random multifractal measures into three classes based on the discrepancy between the curves of generalized dimensions. Other equivalent classifications are also presented.... We apply the cascade processes studied in this paper to characterize two stochastic processes, i.e., the energy dissipation field in fully developed turbulence and the droplet breakup in atomization. The agreement between the proposed model and the experiments are remarkable.

We embed the somewhat unusual multiplicative function, which was serendipitously discovered in 2010 during a study of mutually unbiased bases in the Hilbert space of quantum physics, into two families of multiplicative functions that we construct as generalizations of that particular example. In addition, we report yet another multiplicative function, which is also suggested by that example; it can be used to express the squarefree part of an integer in terms of an exponential sum.

A circle, centered at the origin and with radius chosen so that it has non-empty intersection with the integer lattice $mathbb{Z}^{2}$, gives rise to a probability measure on the unit circle in a natural way. Such measures, and their weak limits, are said to be attainable from lattice points on circles. We investigate the set of attainable measures and show that it contains all extreme points, in the sense of convex geometry, of the set of all probability measures that are invariant under some natural symmetries. Further, the set of attainable measures is closed under convolution, yet there exist symmetric probability measures that are not attainable. To show this, we study the geometry of projections onto a finite number of Fourier coefficients and find that the set of attainable measures has many singularities with a fractal structure. This complicated structure in some sense arises from prime powers - singularities do not occur for circles of radius $sqrt{n}$ if $n$ is square free.
We study the effects of multiple binding sites in the promoter of a genetic oscillator. We evaluate the regulatory function of a promoter with multiple binding sites in the absence of cooperative binding, and consider different hypotheses for how the number of bound repressors affects transcription rate. Effective Hill exponents of the resulting regulatory functions reveal an increase in the nonlinearity of the feedback with the number of binding sites. We identify optimal configurations that maximize the nonlinearity of the feedback. We use a generic model of a biochemical oscillator to show that this increased nonlinearity is reflected in enhanced oscillations, with larger amplitudes over wider oscillatory ranges. Although the study is motivated by genetic oscillations in the zebrafish segmentation clock, our findings may reveal a general principle for gene regulation.
Observation of the Brownian motion of a small probe interacting with its environment is one of the main strategies to characterize soft matter. Essentially two counteracting forces govern the motion of the Brownian particle. First, the particle is driven by the rapid collisions with the surrounding solvent molecules, referred to as thermal noise. Second, the friction between the particle and the viscous solvent damps its motion. Conventionally, the thermal force is assumed to be random and characterized by a white noise spectrum. Friction is assumed to be given by the Stokes drag, implying that motion is overdamped. However, as the particle receives momentum from the fluctuating fluid molecules, it also displaces the fluid in its immediate vicinity. The entrained fluid acts back on the sphere and gives rise to long-range correlation. This hydrodynamic memory translates to thermal forces, which display a coloured noise spectrum. Even 100 years after Perrins pioneering experiments on Brownian motion, direct experimental observation of this colour has remained elusive. Here, we measure the spectrum of thermal noise by confining the Brownian fluctuations of a microsphere by a strong optical trap. We show that due to hydrodynamic correlations the power spectral density of the spheres positional fluctuations exhibits a resonant peak in strong contrast to overdamped systems. Furthermore, we demonstrate that peak amplification can be achieved through parametric excitation. In analogy to Microcantilever-based sensors our results demonstrate that the particle-fluid-trap system can be considered as a nanomechanical resonator, where the intrinsic hydrodynamic backflow enhances resonance. Therefore, instead of being a disturbance, details in thermal noise can be exploited for the development of new types of sensors and particle-based assays for lab-on-a-chip applications.
We study the purely relaxational dynamics (model A) at criticality in three-dimensional disordered Ising systems whose static critical behaviour belongs to the randomly diluted Ising universality class. We consider the site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising models, and the +- J Ising model along the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition line. We perform Monte Carlo simulations at the critical point using the Metropolis algorithm and study the dynamic behaviour in equilibrium at various values of the disorder parameter. The results provide a robust evidence of the existence of a unique model-A dynamic universality class which describes the relaxational critical dynamics in all considered models. In particular, the analysis of the size-dependence of suitably defined autocorrelation times at the critical point provides the estimate z=2.35(2) for the universal dynamic critical exponent. We also study the off-equilibrium relaxational dynamics following a quench from T=infty to T=T_c. In agreement with the field-theory scenario, the analysis of the off-equilibrium dynamic critical behavior gives an estimate of z that is perfectly consistent with the equilibrium estimate z=2.35(2).
