Genetic systems with multiple loci can have complex dynamics. For example, mean fitness need not always increase and stable cycling is possible. Here, we study the dynamics of a genetic system inspired by the molecular biology of…
We introduce a new parameter to discuss the behavior of a genetic algorithm. This parameter is the mean number of exact copies of the best fit chromosomes from one generation to the next. We argue that the genetic algorithm should operate…
Species evolution is essentially a random process of interaction between biological populations and their environments. As a result, some physical parameters in evolution models are subject to statistical fluctuations. In this paper, two…
We present a detailed theory of spectacular semiclassical catastrophes happening during the time evolution of a kicked quantum rotor (Phys.Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 163601 (2001)). Both two- and three-dimensional rotational systems are analyzed.…
Chargaff's second parity rule holds empirically for most types of DNA that along single strands of DNA the base contents are equal for complimentary bases, A = T, G = C. A Markov chain model is constructed to track the evolution of any…
We derive a consistency result, in the $L_1$-sense, for incomplete U-statistics in the non-standard case where the kernel at hand has infinite second-order moments. Assuming that the kernel has finite moments of order $p(\geq 1)$, we obtain…
Single molecule experiments on single- and double stranded DNA have sparked a renewed interest in the force-extension of polymers. The extensible Freely Jointed Chain (FJC) model is frequently invoked to explain the observed behavior of…
The Semimicroscopic Algebraic Cluster Model (SACM) is extended to heavy nuclei, making use of the pseudo-SU(3) model. As a first step, the concept of forbiddenness will be resumed. One consequence of the forbiddenness is that the ground…
Prior work has shown that fine-tuning models on a narrow domain with misaligned data can lead to broad misalignment - a phenomenon termed "emergent misalignment" (Betley et al. 2025). While all tested models were susceptible to emergent…
Let $X_{1},X_{2},...$ be a sequence of independent copies (s.i.c) of a real random variable (r.v.) $X\geq 1$, with distribution function $df$ $F(x)=\mathbb{P}% (X\leq x)$ and let $X_{1,n}\leq X_{2,n} \leq ... \leq X_{n,n}$ be the order…
The conservation laws of the third order quasilinear scalar evolution equations are considered via differential system and characteristic cohomology. We find a subspace of 2 forms in the infinite prolonged space in which every conservation…
In this paper we prove a lower semicontinuity result of Reshetnyak type for a class of functionals which appear in models for small-strain elasto-plasticity coupled with damage. To do so we characterise the limit of measures…
We present a hybrid algorithm between an evolution strategy and a quasi Newton method. The design is based on the Hessian Estimation Evolution Strategy, which iteratively estimates the inverse square root of the Hessian matrix of the…
We make an extensive numerical study of a two dimensional nonconservative model proposed by Olami-Feder-Christensen to describe earthquake behavior. By analyzing the distribution of earthquake sizes using a multiscaling method, we find…
Mismatch repair is a critical step in DNA replication that occurs after base selection and proofreading, significantly increasing fidelity. However, the mechanism of mismatch recognition has not been established for any repair enzyme.…
A relation giving a minimum for the irreversible work in quasi-equilibrium processes was derived by Sekimoto et al. (K. Sekimoto and S. Sasa, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 66} (1997), 3326) in the framework of stochastic energetics. This relation…
We study the properties of the two-point spectral form factor for classically chaotic systems with spin 1/2 in the semiclassical limit, with a suitable semiclassical trace formula as our principal tool. To this end we introduce a…
A phase-space semiclassical approximation valid to $O(\hbar)$ at short times is used to compare semiclassical accuracy for long-time and stationary observables in chaotic, stable, and mixed systems. Given the same level of semiclassical…
The family replication problem is addressed in the context of the dual standard model. The breaking of a simple grand unified group to $[G_{low} \times H_1 \times H_2 \times H_3]/Z_5^3$ and then further to $G_{low}$, produces a spectrum of…
We are interested in the long time behavior of a two-type density-dependent biological population conditioned to non-extinction, in both cases of competition or weak cooperation between the two species. This population is described by a…
