Pinning models are built from discrete renewal sequences by rewarding (or penalizing) the trajectories according to their number of renewal epochs up to time $N$, and $N$ is then sent to infinity. They are statistical mechanics models to…
Theoretical considerations predict a specific hierarchy among ratios of net-baryon number cumulants ($\chi_n$, where $n$ is the order of cumulant) in the vicinity of the transition from the low-temperature hadronic phase to the high…
We have used Monte Carlo simulations to observe the magnetic behaviour of Ising thin-films with cubic lattice structures as a function of temperature and thickness especially in the critical region. The fourth order Binder cumulant is used…
We investigate the critical scaling behavior of finite systems in the canonical ensemble. The essential difference with the grand canonical ensemble. i.e., the constraint on the number of particles, is already known to lead to the Fisher…
In the presence of a chemical potential, the physics of level crossings leads to singularities at zero temperature, even when the spatial volume is finite. These singularities are smoothed out at a finite temperature but leave behind…
Many seemingly different macroscopic systems (magnets, ferroelectrics, CDW, vortices,..) can be described as generic disordered elastic systems. Understanding their static and dynamics thus poses challenging problems both from the point of…
We present extensive Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional XY model with a modified form of interaction potential. Thermodynamic quantities other than energy, specific heat etc (such as magnetization, susceptibility, fourth order…
Several researchers have experimentally shown that substantial improvements can be obtained in difficult pattern recognition problems by combining or integrating the outputs of multiple classifiers. This chapter provides an analytical…
We study the possibility of controlling the finite size corrections in exact diagonalization studies quantitatively. We consider the one- and two dimensional Hubbard model. We show that the finite-size corrections can be be reduced…
The bivariate high-temperature expansion of the spin-spin correlation-function of the three-dimensional classical XY (planar rotator) model, with spatially-anisotropic nearest-neighbor couplings, is extended from the 10th through the 21st…
Shape dependence of higher order correlations introduces complication in direct determination of these quantities. For this reason theoretical and observational progress has been restricted in calculating one point distribution functions…
We have implemented three approaches to describe the thermodynamic properties of ferrimagnetic ($S=5/2, s=2$) spin chains. The application of cumulant expansion has been generalized to the ferrimagnetic chain in the presence of an external…
We investigate the nonlinear Meissner effect microscopically. Previous studies did not consider a certain type of interaction effect on the nonlinear phenomena. The scattering amplitude barely appears without being renormalized into the…
Estimates of the effects of treatment on cost from observational studies are subject to bias if there are unmeasured confounders. It is therefore advisable in practice to assess the potential magnitude of such biases. We derive a general…
A critique is presented of the frequently used Bruce-Wilding (BW) mixed-field scaling method for estimating the critical points of nonsymmetric model fluids from grand canonical simulation data. An explicit, systematic technique for…
Empirical economists are often deterred from the application of fixed effects binary choice models mainly for two reasons: the incidental parameter problem and the computational challenge even in moderately large panels. Using the example…
We consider the planar Ising model in a finite square box and we replace the temperature parameter with a function depending on the magnetization. This creates a feedback from the spin configuration onto the parameter, which drives the…
We study the accuracy and predictive power of conformal perturbation theory by a comparison with lattice results in the neighborhood of the finite-temperature deconfinement transition of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, assuming that the infrared…
Motivated by global warming issues, we consider a time se- ries that consists of a nondecreasing trend observed with station- ary fluctuations, nonparametric estimation of the trend under monotonicity assumption is considered. The rescaled…
We analyze the consequences of models of structure formation for higher-order ($n$-point) galaxy correlation functions in the mildly non-linear regime. Several variations of the standard $\Omega=1$ cold dark matter model with…
