In high-dimension, low-sample size (HDLSS) data, it is not always true that closeness of two objects reflects a hidden cluster structure. We point out the important fact that it is not the closeness, but the "values" of distance that…
We present an algorithm of clustering of many-dimensional objects, where only the distances between objects are used. Centers of classes are found with the aid of neuron-like procedure with lateral inhibition. The result of clustering does…
A kinetic one-dimensional Ising model on a ring evolves according to a generalization of Glauber rates, such that spins at even (odd) lattice sites experience a temperature $T_{e}$ ($T_{o}$). Detailed balance is violated so that the spin…

Cumulative observables often exhibit saturation in systems involving propagation or spreading with local dissipation. This work shows that bounded cumulative response follows directly from local linear relaxation. Linear cumulative…
