The error threshold transition in a stochastic (i.e. finite population) version of the quasispecies model of molecular evolution is studied using finite-size scaling. For the single-sharp-peak replication landscape, the deterministic model…
A simple analytical framework to study the molecular quasispecies evolution of finite populations is proposed, in which the population is assumed to be a random combination of the constiyuent molecules in each generation,i.e., linkage…
The goal of this work is to propose a finite population counterpart to Eigen's model, which incorporates stochastic effects. We consider a Moran model describing the evolution of a population of size $m$ of chromosomes of length $\ell$ over…
The critical behavior of a quenched random hypercubic sample of linear size $L$ is considered, within the ``random-$T_{c}$'' field-theoretical mode, by using the renormalization group method. A finite-size scaling behavior is established…

We investigate the error threshold for the emergence of quasispecies in the Eigen model. By mapping to to an effective Hamiltonian ruled by the "imaginary-time" Schr\"odinger equation, a variational ansatz is proposed and applied to…
We carry out a finite size scaling analysis of the jamming transition in frictionless bi-disperse soft core disks in two dimensions. We consider two different jamming protocols: (i) quench from random initial positions, and (ii) quasistatic…
We reconsider the Eigen's quasi-species model for competing self-reproductive macromolecules in populations characterized by a single-peaked fitness landscape. The use of ideas and tools borrowed from polymers theory and statistical…
Critical phenomena on scale-free networks with a degree distribution $p_k \sim k^{-\lambda}$ exhibit rich finite-size effects due to its structural heterogeneity. We systematically study the finite-size scaling of percolation and identify…
A quasispecies evolving on a fitness landscape with a single peak of fluctuating height is studied. In the approximation that back mutations can be ignored, the rate equations can be solved analytically. It is shown that the error threshold…

Finite-size scaling is investigated in detail around the critical point in the heavy-quark region of nonzero temperature QCD. Numerical simulations are performed with large spatial volumes up to the aspect ratio $N_s/N_t=12$ at a fixed…
It is well known that in a quantum phase transition (QPT), entanglement remains short ranged [Osterloh et al., Nature 416 608-610 (2005)]. We ask if there is a quantum property entailing the whole system which diverges near this point.…
We present high-accuracy quasi-stationary (QS) simulations of the contact process in quenched networks, built using the configuration model with both structural and natural cutoffs. The critical behavior is analyzed in the framework of the…
We study sharp peak landscapes (SPL) of Eigen model from a new perspective about how the quasispecies distribute in the sequence space. To analyze the distribution more carefully, we bring forth two tools. One tool is the variance of…
The finite-size scaling theory for continuous phase transition plays an important role in determining critical point and critical exponents from the size-dependent behaviors of quantities in the thermodynamic limit. For percolation phase…
The phase diagram of QCD at finite temperature and density and the existence of a critical point are currently very actively researched topics. Although tremendous progress has been made, in the case of two light quark flavors even the…

This work is concerned with the fundamental scaling laws of quasi-complementary sequence sets (QCSSs) by understanding how large the set size (denoted by $M$) can grow with the flock size ($K$) and the sequence length ($N$). We first…
