For general spacing distributions, and for all <span>(Mle N)</span>, we derive exact distributional identities for the maximal minimal spacing and obtain its asymptotic behavior. The problem admits a reformulation in terms of a threshold-resetting random walk. The walk advances by successive random increments and is reset to the origin upon exceeding a fixed threshold. The probability that the optimal spacing exceeds a given value coincides with the probability that the walk completes at least <i>M</i> reset cycles within <i>N</i> steps. This yields an exact representation in terms of first-passage functionals of the walk.

As a first step, we perform a signal-to-noise analysis in the zero-temperature limit and show that the bias reduces the effective storage capacity through a multiplicative correction factor <span>((1-b^2)^P)</span>, while preserving the superlinear scaling with the system size. We then derive the quenched statistical pressure within the Replica Symmetric framework by means of Guerra’s interpolation method and obtain the corresponding self consistency equations for the relevant order parameters.

The concept of continuous translational symmetry in nonlinear lattices has recently been introduced. Furthermore, a nonlinear lattice possessing this symmetry has been explicitly constructed. This paper describes this symmetric lattice and its various properties, focusing especially on the propagation of discrete breather (DB). Effects due to the lattice discreteness emerge in traveling DBs in ordinary nonlinear lattices. In contrast, the constructed lattice removes these discrete effects, showing that the lack of this symmetry is the origin of the discrete effect. The paper also outlines recent progress regarding the construction of nonlinear lattices without umklapp processes, which possess similar symmetry, and their heat transport. Numerical results indicate that this similar symmetry vanishes thermal resistance by eliminating the umklapp process. These findings suggest a unified perspective that symmetry determines both the mobility and the heat transport of nonlinear waves in lattices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":"193 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148750935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a novel composite continuous-time random walk model is investigated to characterize anomalous diffusion in a potential field over a finite domain under non-Markovian temporal conditions, in which the composite jumps that incrementally sample spatial forces are considered for the trapped particles in potential field. Concurrently, we consider both biexponential and power-law waiting time distributions to capture trapping effects in complex environments. In the continuous limit, we rigorously derive the macroscopic evolution equations corresponding to the master equation of this random walk: a spatial fractional Fokker-Planck equation for biexponential waiting times and a time-space fractional Fokker-Planck equation for power-law waiting times. Here, the spatial fractional derivative is defined via spectral fractional Fokker-Planck operator, endowing it with a clear physical interpretation in finite domains; the time fractional derivative takes the Caputo form, characterizing the non-Markovian nature of power-law waiting times. We derived the analytical solution of the propagator for the diffusion equation under reflecting and absorbing boundary conditions, and conducted a discussion on the first-passage time under double absorbing boundaries within a finite domain. By comparing the analytical solutions of the propagator and first-passage time probability density function with Monte Carlo simulation results, we validated the correctness of the theoretical derivation.
