RDF/XMLis a syntax,[1]defined by theW3C, to express (i.e.serialize) anRDFgraph as anXMLdocument. RDF/XML is sometimes misleadingly called simply RDF because it was introduced among the other W3C specifications defining RDF and it was historically the first W3C standard RDF serialization format. RDF/XML is the primar...

Brownian motionis the random motion ofparticlessuspended in a medium (aliquidor agas).[2]The traditional mathematical formulation of Brownian motion is that of theWiener process, which is often called Brownian motion, even in mathematical sources. This motion pattern typically consists ofrandomfluctuations in a partic...

Inprobability theory, thelaw of the iterated logarithmdescribes the magnitude of the fluctuations of arandom walk. The original statement of the law of the iterated logarithm is due toA. Ya. Khinchin(1924).[1]Another statement was given byA. N. Kolmogorovin 1929.[2] Let {Yn} be independent, identically distributedrand...

TheLévy flight foraging hypothesisis ahypothesisin the field ofbiologythat may be stated as follows: SinceLévy flightsand walks can optimize search efficiencies, therefore natural selection should have led to adaptations for Lévy flight foraging.[1] The movement of animals closely resembles in many ways therandom wal...

Inmathematics,loop-erased random walkis a model for arandomsimple pathwith important applications incombinatorics,physicsandquantum field theory. It is intimately connected to theuniform spanning tree, a model for a randomtree. See alsorandom walkfor more general treatment of this topic. AssumeGis somegraphandγ{\displ...
