We show that the naive application of the maximum entropy principle can yield answers which depend on the level of description, i.e. the result is not invariant under coarse-graining. We demonstrate that the correct approach, even for…
We introduce a variational algorithm to estimate the likelihood of a rare event within a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation through the evaluation of an optimal control force. Optimization of a control force within a chosen basis…

For a non-vanishing gradient-like vector field on a compact manifold $X^{n+1}$ with boundary, a discrete set of trajectories may be tangent to the boundary with reduced multiplicity $n$, which is the maximum possible. (Among them are…
The purpose of this paper is to explore, in a space of four-dimensions, the possible forms that second-order, bi-scalar-vector-tensor field equations derivable from a variational principle can assume. In order to restrict this enormous…
We demonstrate that any k*-expansive vector field on a closed manifold exhibits rescaling expansiveness. This enhances the principal outcome outlined in \cite{a}. The verification of this assertion hinges on the introduction and exploration…
This study derives geometric, variational discretizations of continuum theories arising in fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and the dynamics of complex fluids. A central role in these discretizations is played by the geometric…
