Balance and frustration in signed networks

S Aref, MC Wilson - Journal of Complex Networks, 2019 - academic.oup.com
The frustration index is a key measure for analysing signed networks, which has been
underused due to its computational complexity. We use an exact optimization-based method …

Analysis of the phase transition in the two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet using a Lempel-Ziv string-parsing scheme and black-box data-compression utilities

O Melchert, AK Hartmann - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
In this work we consider information-theoretic observables to analyze short symbolic
sequences, comprising time series that represent the orientation of a single spin in a two …

Computing the line index of balance using integer programming optimisation

S Aref, AJ Mason, MC Wilson - Optimization Problems in Graph Theory: In …, 2018 - Springer
An important measure of signed graphs is the line index of balance which has applications
in many fields. However, this graph-theoretic measure was underused for decades because …

Inelastic neutron scattering from a geometrically frustrated Ising antiferromagnet: Exact solutions

KA Muttalib, JH Barry - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Employing transformations of planar Ising models (decoration-decimation followed by star-
triangle), the frustrated antiferromagnetic kagomé Ising model is mapped to the known …

Inference of hidden structures in complex physical systems by multi-scale clustering

Z Nussinov, P Ronhovde, D Hu, S Chakrabarty… - Information Science for …, 2016 - Springer
We survey the application of a relatively new branch of statistical physics—“community
detection”—to data mining. In particular, we focus on the diagnosis of materials and …

Signed network structural analysis and applications with a focus on balance theory

S Aref - arXiv preprint arXiv:1901.06845, 2019 - arxiv.org
We analyse signed networks from the perspective of balance theory which predicts structural
balance as a global structure for signed social networks that represent groups of friends and …

Thermodynamic description of the Ising antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice with selective dilution by a modified pair-approximation method

T Balcerzak, K Szałowski, M Jaščur, M Žukovič… - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
The pair-approximation method is modified in order to describe systems with geometrical
frustration. The Ising antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice with selective dilution (Kaya …

Frustration in a generalized kagomé Ising antiferromagnet: Exact results

KA Muttalib, JH Barry - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We obtain the exact ground-state phase diagram of a generalized kagomé antiferromagnet
with both pair and triplet interactions, J 2 and J 3, respectively, in the presence of a magnetic …

Communicating through a sea of frustration: Zero-temperature triangular Ising antiferromagnet on a cylinder

A Nourhani, VH Crespi, PE Lammert - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
''Communication” through the frustrated ground state of a classical triangular Ising
antiferromagnet wrapped on a cylinder is studied via reformulation as imaginary-time …

Mutual information and breakdown of the Perron-Frobenius scenario in zero-temperature triangular Ising antiferromagnets on cylinders

A Nourhani, VH Crespi, PE Lammert - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
A nominally two-dimensional spin model wrapped onto a cylinder can profitably be viewed,
especially for long cylinders, as a one-dimensional chain. Each site of such a chain is a ring …
