We study a trapped system of fermions with an attractive zero-range two-body interaction using the Shell-Model Monte Carlo method. The method provides {\em ab initio} results in the low $N$ limit where mean-field theory is not applicable.…
Clustering, or transitivity has been observed in real networks and its effects on their structure and function has been discussed extensively. The focus of these studies has been on clustering of single networks while the effect of…
Numerical simulations of star cluster formation have advanced greatly during the past decade, covering increasingly massive gas clouds while accounting for more and more complex physics. In this review, I discuss the present state of the…
Colloidal systems present exciting opportunities to study clusters. Unlike atomic clusters, which are frequently produced at extremely low density, colloidal clusters may interact with one another. Here we consider the effect of such…
Mixture models extend the toolbox of clustering methods available to the data analyst. They allow for an explicit definition of the cluster shapes and structure within a probabilistic framework and exploit estimation and inference…
Nuclear systems are treated within a quantum statistical approach. Correlations and cluster formation are relevant for the properties of warm dense matter, but the description is challenging and different approximations are discussed. The…
Large datasets with interactions between objects are common to numerous scientific fields (i.e. social science, internet, biology...). The interactions naturally define a graph and a common way to explore or summarize such dataset is graph…
The role of saturation for cluster formation in finite systems such as atomic nuclei is analyzed by considering three length-scale ratios, and performing deformation-constrained self-consistent mean-field calculations. The effect of…
The percolation properties of clustered networks are analyzed in detail. In the case of weak clustering, we present an analytical approach that allows to find the critical threshold and the size of the giant component. Numerical simulations…
Clustering is one of the most complex phenomena known to the structure of atomic nuclei. A comprehensive description of this ubiquitous phenomenon goes beyond standard shell model and cluster model frameworks. We argue that clustering is a…
In $^{16}$O, we investigate the relation between the $E0$ monopole transition matrix elements and cluster-shell competition using antisymmetrized quasi cluster model (AQCM), where the dissolution of $alpha$ clusters into quasi clusters due…
We adopt a personal approach here reviewing several calculations over the years in which we have experienced confrontations between cluster models and the shell model. In previous cluster conferences we have noted that cluster models go…
We present an innovative cluster-based method employing linear combinations of diverse cluster mean-field (cMF) states, and apply it to describe the ground state of strongly-correlated spin systems. In cluster mean-field theory, the ground…
We summarize recent developments of the semiclassical description of shell effects in finite fermion systems with explicit inclusion of spin degrees of freedom, in particluar in the presence of spin-orbit interactions. We present a new…
We review recent experimental and theoretical progress in understanding the microscopic details of clustering in light nuclei. We discuss recent experimental results on $\alpha$-conjugate systems, molecular structures in neutron-rich…
In the last years the Prisoner Dilemma (PD) has become a paradigm for the study of the emergence of cooperation in spatially structured populations. Such structure is usually assumed to be given by a graph. In general, the success of…
Many real-world networks exhibit scale-free feature, have a small diameter and a high clustering tendency. We have studied the properties of a growing network, which has all these features, in which an incoming node is connected to its…
The shell structures for weakly interacting fermions in harmonic oscillator traps at zero temperature undergo several transitions depending on the number of particles in the trap and their interaction strength. Calculations of the one and…
The cluster algorithm in the fully frustrated Ising model on the square lattice is essentially different from the ones used in other systems. Thus its better understanding is particularly important for finding new lines of development.…
There have been rapid developments in model-based clustering of graphs, also known as block modelling, over the last ten years or so. We review different approaches and extensions proposed for different aspects in this area, such as the…
