Resonant behavior of a Poisson process driven by a periodic signal
(American Physical Society, 1995)
The statistical properties of the residence times of a periodically modulated Poisson process (time-dependent shot noise) on a line segment are analyzed. They show the characteristic features of a resonant behavior, which ...

Simple model with facilitated dynamics for granular compaction
(American Physical Society, 1999)
A simple lattice model is used to study compaction in granular media. As in real experiments, we consider a series of taps separated by large enough waiting times. The relaxation of the density exhibits the characteristic ...

Glassy behavior in a simple model with entropy barriers
(American Physical Society, 1997)
We study the dynamical behavior of a system with a variable number of particles n. The empty state n=0 is the ground state, while all the other states n>0 are degenerate in energy. In equilibrium, the mean number of particles ...

Hysteresis in vibrated granular media
(Elsevier, 2000)
Some general dynamical properties of models for compaction of granular media based on master equations are analyzed. In particular, a one-dimensional lattice model with short-ranged dynamical constraints is considered. The ...
