Driven quantum systems coupled to an environment typically exhibit effectively thermal behavior with relaxational dynamics near criticality. However, a different qualitative might be expected in the weakly dissipative limit due competition between coherent and weak dissipation. In this work, we investigate driven-dissipative infinite-range Ising model presence of individual atomic dissipation, ...

We study crossover phenomena in a model of self-avoiding walks with medium-range jumps, which corresponds to the limit N-->0 of an N-vector spin system with medium-range interactions. In particular, we consider the critical crossover limit that interpolates between the Gaussian and the Wilson-Fisher fixed point. The corresponding crossover functions are computed by using field-theoretical metho...

In this paper a new general schema theory for genetic programming is presented. Like other recent GP schema theory results (Poli 2000a, Poli 2000b), the theory gives an exact formulation (rather than a lower bound) for the expected number of instances of a schema at the next generation. The theory is based on a Cartesian node reference system which makes it possible to describe programs as func...

One crossover point between a pair of homologous chromosomes in meiosis appears to interfere with occurrence of another in the neighborhood. It has been revealed that Drosophila and Neurospora, in spite of their large difference in the frequency of crossover points, show very similar plots of coincidence-a measure of the interference-against the genetic distance of the interval, defined as one-...

real coded genetic algorithm, rcga, is the type of ga which operates on chromosomes with real valued parameters. different mutation and crossover operations are defined for rcga. one usable crossover for this kind of ga is to consider its chromosomes simply as bit strings and utilize the same operations as binary coded ga. in this paper, we attempt to show that this kind of crossover can not ha...

The two-dimensional ferromagnetic anisotropic Ashkin-Teller model is investigated through a real-space renormalization-group approach. The critical frontier, separating five distinct phases, recover all the known exacts results for the square lattice. The correlation length (ν T) and crossover (φ) critical exponents are also calculated. With the only exception of the four-state Potts critical p...

The thermodynamic properties of fluids can be predicted using the global equations of state. Among these thermodynamic properties of fluids, we choose the densities of the liquid and vapor phases. This paper considers the application of the crossover model to the vapor-liquid rectilinear diameter of ethane. We also present a comparison of the crossover model equation with the experimental data....
