A family of fast sampling methods is introduced here for molecular simulations of systems having rugged free energy landscapes. The methods represent a generalization of a strategy consisting of adjusting a model for the free energy as a…
The free energy functional has recently been proposed as a variational principle for bounded rational decision-making, since it instantiates a natural trade-off between utility gains and information processing costs that can be…

We consider the variational free energy approach for compressed sensing. We first show that the na\"ive mean field approach performs remarkably well when coupled with a noise learning procedure. We also notice that it leads to the same…

A simple modification of the definition of the S-matrix is proposed. It is expected that the divergences related to nonzero self-energies are considerably milder with the modified definition than with the usual one. This conjecture is…
Systematic inaccuracy is inherent in any computational estimate of a non-linear average, due to the availability of only a finite number of data values, N. Free energy differences (DF) between two states or systems are critically important…
We calculate the free energy of a hot gas of electrons and photons to three loops using the hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory reorganization of finite-temperature perturbation theory. We calculate the free energy through three loops by…
According to the Jarzynski theorem, equilibrium free energy differences can be calculated from the statistics of work carried out during non-equilibrium transformations. Although exact, this approach can be plagued by large statistical…
We propose an energy-optimized invariant energy quadratization method to solve the gradient flow models in this paper, which requires only one linear energy-optimized step to correct the auxiliary variables on each time step. In addition to…
The main perturbative contribution to the free energy of an electroweak interface is due to the effective potential and the tree level kinetic term. The derivative corrections are investigated with one-loop perturbation theory. The action…

We consider a possible `deformation' of the trace of the heat kernel on odd dimensional spheres, motivated by the calculation of the free energy of a scalar field on a discretized circle. By using an expansion in terms of the modified…

Building on nonintrinsic Landau theory, we introduce continuum free-energy computing as a new computing paradigm in which problem instances are encoded in programmable free-energy functionals and solved by intrinsic relaxational dynamics.…
