In probability theory, an interacting particle system (IPS) is a stochastic process on some configuration space given by a site space, a countable-infinite graph and a local state space, a compact metric space . More precisely IPS are continuous-time Markov jump processes describing the collective behavior of stochastically interacting components. IPS are the continuous-time analogue of stochastic cellular automata. Among the main examples are the voter model, the contact process, the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP), the Glauber dynamics and in particular the stochastic Ising model. IPS are usually defined via their Markov generator giving rise to a unique Markov process using Markov semigroups and the Hille-Yosida theorem. The generator again is given via so-called transition rates where is a finite set of sites and with for all . The rates describe exponential waiting times of the process to jump from configuration into configuration . More generally the transition rates are given in form of a finite measure on . The generator of an IPS has the following form: Let be an observable in the domain of which is a subset of the real valued continuous function on the configuration space, then . For example for the stochastic Ising model we have , , if for some and : where is the configuration equal to except it is flipped at site . is a new parameter modeling the inverse temperature. == References == * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「interacting particle system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
