Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting

Pair Approximation & Applications to Ecological Models

  • Event time: 11:30am
  • Event date: 9th March 2006
  • Speaker: Lawrence Mitchell (Formerly School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Edinburgh)
  • Location: Room 2511,

Event details

I shall give an introduction to pair approximation, a decoupling approximation for global and local densities in a lattice-based model. I shall then apply this technique to the formation of gaps in forest canopies (with real data!).
