We study the accumulation of errors in cosmological N-body algorithms that are caused by representing the continuous distribution of matter by massive particles, comparing the PPPM and Adaptive Multigrid codes. We use for this a new measure…
In this paper, we analyze the clustering of galaxies using a modified Newtonian potential. This modification of the Newtonian potential occurs due to the existence of extra dimensions in brane world models. We will analyze a system of…
Effective interactions inherently encompass many-body effects that appear unified. Analyzing these in reverse, that is, separating them into contributions from pairs, triples, or larger groups, is typically intricate and seldom pursued.…
Bosonic two-dimensional self-bound clusters consisting of $N$ atoms interacting through additive van der Waals potentials become unbound at a critical mass m*(N); m*(N) has been predicted to be independent of the size of the system.…
We discuss modeling of nuclear structure beyond the 2-body interaction paradigm. Our first example is related to the need of three nucleon contact interaction terms suggested by chiral perturbation theory. The relationship of the two…

Two-dimensional (planar) rigid-body impact mechanics for application in automobile collisions have been described by a number of researchers over the last several decades. Little has been discussed, however, regarding three-dimensional…
A spreading process can be observed when a particular behavior, substance, or disease spreads through a population over time in social and biological systems. It is widely believed that contact interactions among individual entities play an…
A shadow of a numerical solution to a chaotic system is an_exact_ solution to the equations of motion that remains close to the numerical solution for a long time. In a collisionless n-body system, we know that particle motion is governed…

We study the two-dimensional contact process (CP) with quenched disorder (DCP), and determine the static critical exponents beta and nu_perp. The dynamic behavior is incompatible with scaling, as applied to models (such as the pure CP) that…
