Energy-based models for discrete domains, such as graphs, explicitly capture relative likelihoods, naturally enabling composable probabilistic inference tasks like conditional generation or enforcing constraints at test-time. However,…
Patterns are ubiquitous in nature, but how they form is often unclear. Turing developed a seminal theory to explain patterns based on reactions that counteract the equalizing tendency of diffusion. These reactions require continuous energy…
The celebrated Meyer-Miller mapping model has been a useful approach for generating practical trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics methods. It is generally assumed that the zero-point-energy (ZPE) parameter is positive. The constraint…
According to the mean-field glass theory, the (free) energy landscape of disordered systems is hierarchical and ultrametric if they belong to the full-replica-symmetry-breaking universality class. However, examining this theoretical picture…
In recent years, significant advancements in computational methods have dramatically enhanced the precision in determining the energetic ranking of different phases of molecular crystals. The developments mainly focused on providing…
Let $G$ be a simple connected graph on $n$ vertices, and let $\lambda_1(G),\lambda_2(G),\ldots,\lambda_n(G)$ be the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix $A(G)$. For $p>0$, define the $p$-energy of $G$ by $\mathcal E_p(G)=\sum_{i=1}^n…
We analyse the role of the bang-bang property in affine optimal control problems. We show that many essential stability properties of affine problems are only satisfied when minimizers are bang-bang. Moreover, we prove that almost any…
This paper deals with stability of discrete-time switched linear systems whose all subsystems are unstable and the set of admissible switching signals obeys pre-specified restrictions on switches between the subsystems and dwell times on…
We explore whether the topology of energy landscapes in chemical systems obeys any rules and what these rules are. To answer this and related questions we use several tools: (i)Reduced energy surface and its density of states, (ii)…
In [3] a simple discrete scheme for the motion of screw dislocations toward low energy configurations has been proposed. There, a formal limit of such a scheme, as the lattice spacing and the time step tend to zero, has been described. The…
A system of phase-field equations with strong-coupling through state and gradient dependent non-diagonal mobility matrices is studied. Existence of weak solutions is established by the Galerkin approximation and a-priori estimates in strong…
Energy minimizing maps (E.M.M.s) play a central role in the calculus of variations, partial differential equations (PDEs), and geometric analysis. These maps are often embedded into $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifolds to minimize the Dirichlet…
The problem of finding the minimum-energy configuration of particles on a lattice, subject to a generic short-ranged repulsive interaction, is studied analytically. The study is relevant to charge ordered states of interacting fermions, as…
Low-thrust engines for interplanetary spacecraft transfers allow cost-effective space missions with flexible launch and arrival dates. To find fuel-optimal trajectories, an optimal control problem is to be solved. Pontryagin's Maximum…
Many driven systems alternate between bursts of activity and quiescence and can become trapped in an absorbing state, such as complete inactivity in reaction-diffusion processes or extinction in predator-prey dynamics. It is generally…
We here characterize the minimality of realization of arbitrary linear time-invariant dynamical systems through (i) intersection of the spectra of the realization matrix and of the corresponding state submatrix and (ii) moving the poles by…
In this paper, we study the problem of optimizing the stability of positive semi-Markov jump linear systems. We specifically consider the problem of tuning the coefficients of the system matrices for maximizing the exponential decay rate of…
The analytic structure of the S-matrix of singular quantum mechanics is examined within a multichannel framework, with primary focus on its dependence with respect to a parameter ($\Omega$) that determines the boundary conditions.…
Microscopic machines utilize free energy to create and maintain out-of-equilibrium organization in virtually all living things. Often this takes the form of converting the free energy stored in nonequilibrium chemical potential differences…
This paper introduces a new class of efficient inter connection networks called as M-graphs for large multi-processor systems.The concept of M-matrix and M-graph is an extension of Mn-matrices and Mn-graphs.We analyze these M-graphs…
