Complete integrability and equilibrium thermodynamics of biaxial nematic systems with discrete orientational degrees of freedom

G De Matteis, F Giglio, A Moro - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We study a discrete version of a biaxial nematic liquid crystal model with external fields via
an approach based on the solution of differential identities for the partition function. In the …

Learning interaction kernels in mean-field equations of first-order systems of interacting particles

Q Lang, F Lu - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2022 - SIAM
We introduce a nonparametric algorithm to learn interaction kernels of mean-field equations
for first-order systems of interacting particles. The data consist of discrete space-time …

Inference and influence of network structure using snapshot social behavior without network data

A Godoy-Lorite, NS Jones - Science Advances, 2021 - science.org
Population behavior, like voting and vaccination, depends on the structure of social
networks. This structure can differ depending on behavior type and is typically hidden …

Non-convex multi-species Hopfield models

E Agliari, D Migliozzi, D Tantari - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2018 - Springer
In this work we introduce a multi-species generalization of the Hopfield model for associative
memory, where neurons are divided into groups and both inter-groups and intra-groups pair …

Inverse problem beyond two-body interaction: The cubic mean-field Ising model

P Contucci, G Osabutey, C Vernia - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
In this paper, we solve the inverse problem for the cubic mean-field Ising model. Starting
from configuration data generated according to the distribution of the model, we reconstruct …
