Isotropy and Metastable States the Landscape of the Xy Hamiltonian Revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
The number of local optima is an important characteristic of a landscape. It appears to depend on the pair-correlation of the landscape as well as on its deviations from statistical isotropy. We use Tanaka and Edward's XY Hamiltonian as an example for an investigation of the relationships between ruggedness, metastable states, and isotropy.

Correlation Length , Isotropy , and Meta - stable States
A landscape is rugged if it has many local optima, if it gives rise to short adaptive walks, and if it exhibits a rapidly decreasing pair-correlation function (and hence if it has a short correlation length). The \correlation length conjecture" allows to estimate the number of meta-stable states from the correlation length, provided the landscape is \typical". Isotropy, originally introduced as...
متن کاملUbiquity of metastable-to-stable crossover in weakly chaotic dynamical systems
We present a comparative study of several dynamical systems of increasing complexity, namely, the logistic map with additive noise, one, two and many globally-coupled standard maps, and the Hamiltonian Mean Field model (i.e., the classical inertial infinitely-ranged ferromagnetically coupled XY spin model). We emphasize the appearance, in all of these systems, of metastable states and their ult...
متن کاملPoincaré and Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities by Decomposition of the Energy Landscape
We consider a diffusion on a potential landscape which is given by a smooth Hamiltonian H : Rn → R in the regime of low temperature ε. We proof the Eyring-Kramers formula for the optimal constant in the Poincaré (PI) and logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) for the associated generator L = ε∆ − ∇H · ∇ of the diffusion. The proof is based on a refinement of the two-scale approach introduced by G...
متن کاملEnergy Balance and Gas Thermalization in a High Power Microwave Discharge in Mixtures
The dynamics of fast gas heating in a high power microwave discharge in air, is investigated in the framework of FDTD simulations of the Maxwell equations coupled with the fluid simulations of the plasma. It is shown that, an ultra-fast gas heating of the order of several 100 Kelvins occurs in less than 100 ns. The main role in the heating is played by the electron impact dissociation of , diss...
متن کاملMetastable States of the Classical Inertial Infinite-Range-Interaction Heisenberg Ferromagnet: Role of Initial Conditions
A system of N classical Heisenberg-like rotators, characterized by infinite-range ferromagnetic interactions, is studied numerically within the microcanonical ensemble through a molecular-dynamics approach. Such a model, known as the classical inertial infinite-range-interaction Heisenberg ferromagnet, exhibits a second-order phase transition within the standard canonical-ensemble solution. The...
