We show that the naive application of the maximum entropy principle can yield answers which depend on the level of description, i.e. the result is not invariant under coarse-graining. We demonstrate that the correct approach, even for…

Dynamical systems with large state-spaces are often expensive to thoroughly explore experimentally. Coarse-graining methods aim to define simpler systems which are more amenable to analysis and exploration; most current methods, however,…

We introduce an RG-inspired coarse-graining for extracting the collective features of data. The key to successful coarse-graining lies in finding appropriate pairs of data sets. We coarse-grain the two closest data in a regular real-space…

We propose a scheme for extending the model Hamiltonian method developed originally for studying the equilibrium properties of complex perovskite systems to include Langevin dynamics. The extension is based on Zwanzig's treatment of…

Recently Lin, Lunin and Maldacena (LLM) (hep-th/0409174) explicitly mapped 1/2 BPS excitations of type IIB supergravity on AdS_5 x S^5 into free fermion configurations. We discuss thermal coarse-gaining of LLM geometries by explicitly…

The Mori-Zwanzig projection formalism is widely used in studying systems with many degrees of freedom. We used a system-bath Hamiltonian system to show that the Mori's and Zwanzig's projection procedures are mutual limiting cases of each…

This work is concerned with model reduction of stochastic differential equations and builds on the idea of replacing drift and noise coefficients of preselected relevant, e.g. slow variables by their conditional expectations. We extend…

Coarse-grained (CG) models provide an effective route to reducing the complexity of molecular simulations (MD), but conventional approaches depend heavily on long all-atom MD trajectories to adequately sample configurational space. This…

The first paper of this series [J. Chem. Phys. 158, 034103 (2023)] demonstrated that excess entropy scaling holds for both fine-grained and corresponding coarse-grained (CG) systems. Despite its universality, a more exact determination of…
