Kinetic Ising models with self-interaction: Sequential and parallel updating

Parallel Belief Updating in Sequential Diagnostic Reasoning

In sequential diagnostic reasoning the goal is to determine the most likely cause for a number of sequentially observed effects. Potential hypotheses are narrowed down by integrating the cumulating observed evidence leading to the selection of one among several hypotheses. In the reported diagnostic reasoning experiment, thirty-eight participants were tested with quasi-medical problems consisti...

Kinetic Ising Models and the Glass Transition

The Fredrickson-Andersen model, one of a class of Ising models that introduces constraints on the allowed dynamics of the system, was proposed in an attempt to capture some of the dynamic properties of glass formers while exhibiting trivial equilibrium behavior. After a brief introduction to some of the observed phenomena of glassy systems, the FA model and its scaling behavior is reviewed. In ...

Periodic sequential kinetic models with jumping, branching and deaths

Motivated by recent applications to experiments on processive molecular motors (i.e., protein molecules that drag loads along linear, periodic molecular laments), the analysis of Derrida (J. Stat. Phys. 31 (1983) 433–450) is extended to obtain exact, closed form expressions for the velocity, V , and dispersion (or di usion constant), D, of discrete one-dimensional nearest-neighbor kinetic hoppi...
