In this work we introduce a geometric integrator for molecular dynamics simulations of physical systems in the canonical ensemble. In particular, we consider the equations arising from the so-called density dynamics algorithm with any…

This paper proposes multi-target filtering algorithms in which target dynamics are given in continuous time and measurements are obtained at discrete time instants. In particular, targets appear according to a Poisson point process (PPP) in…

In this paper we formulate Bulgac-Kusnezov constant temperature dynamics in phase space by means of non-Hamiltonian brackets. Two generalized versions of the dynamics are similarly defined: one where the Bulgac-Kusnezov demons are globally…

Although Nose's thermostated mechanics is formally consistent with Gibbs' canonical ensemble, the thermostated Nose-Hoover ( harmonic ) oscillator, with its mean kinetic temperature controlled, is far from ergodic. Much of its phase space…

We present a new exact method to numerically compute the thermodynamical properties of an interacting Bose gas in the canonical ensemble. As in our previous paper (Phys. Rev. A, 63 023606 (2001)), we write the density operator $\rho$ as an…

We introduce a model of long-range interacting particles evolving under a stochastic Monte Carlo dynamics, in which possible increase or decrease in the values of the dynamical variables is accepted with preassigned probabilities. For…

A holonomic constraint is used to enforce a constant instantaneous configurational temperature on an equilibrium system. Three sets of equations of motion are obtained, differing according to the way in which the holonomic constraint is…

We propose an algorithm based on modulable hidden variables and adaptive step lengths, inspired by heuristic statistical physics and the replica method, to study the effect of mutual correlations and the emergent Wigner-Dyson distribution…

Aspects of the Nos\'e and Nos\'e-Hoover dynamics developed in 1983-1984 along with Dettmann's closely related dynamics of 1996, are considered. We emphasize paradoxes associated with Liouville's Theorem. Our account is pedagogical, focused…

We prove that deterministic motion in dissipative systems emerges as a strict geometric attractor of contact flow, not a statistical approximation. Building on the contact geometry of stochastic vector bundles, we develop time-dependent…

We apply a recently proposed novel thermostating mechanism to an interacting many-particle system where the bulk particles are moving according to Hamiltonian dynamics. At the boundaries the system is thermalized by deterministic and…

We investigate the relation between the phase space structure of Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian deterministic thermostats. We show that phase space structures governing reaction dynamics in Hamiltonian systems map to the same type of phase…

An important goal for swarming research is to create methods for predicting, controlling and designing swarms, which produce collective dynamics that solve a problem through emergent and stable pattern formation, without the need for…
