We study the zero temperature coarsening dynamics in an Ising chain in presence of a dynamically induced field that favors locally the `-' phase compared to the `+' phase. At late times, while the `+' domains still coarsen as $t^{1/2}$, the…
Partition functions of probability distributions are important quantities for model evaluation and comparisons. We present a new method to compute partition functions of complex and multimodal distributions. Such distributions are often…

A shift-invariant system is a collection of functions $\{g_{m,n}\}$ of the form $g_{m,n}(k) = g_m(k-an)$. Such systems play an important role in time-frequency analysis and digital signal processing. A principal problem is to find a dual…

Local observables and their translationally invariant counterparts are generally thought as providing the same predictions for experimental measurements. This is used in the context of their expectation values, which are indeed the same in…

A two-state spin system is specified by a 2 x 2 matrix A = {A_{0,0} A_{0,1}, A_{1,0} A_{1,1}} = {\beta 1, 1 \gamma} where \beta, \gamma \ge 0. Given an input graph G=(V,E), the partition function Z_A(G) of a system is defined as Z_A(G) =…
