We show that the -SBPT is not affected by the quadratic term and that the potential energy landscape is greatly simplified from a geometric–topological viewpoint. In particular, only three critical points exist to confront, with a number growing as eN (N is the number of degrees of freedom) of the model with a negative quadratic term. We focus on the properties of the equipotential surfaces with the aim to deepen the link between SBPTs and the essential properties of a potential that is capable of entailing them. The results are interpreted in view of of some recent achievements regarding rigorous necessary and sufficient conditions for a -SBPT.","PeriodicalId":17207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment","volume":"166 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141576016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first focus on the large deviations at level 2 for the empirical density of the configurations C seen during a trajectory over the large time window , and rewrite the explicit Donsker–Varadhan rate function as the matrix element involving the square-root ket . (The analog formula is also discussed for reversible diffusion processes as a comparison.) We then consider the explicit rate functions at higher levels, in particular for the joint probability of the empirical density and the empirical local activities characterizing the density of jumps between two configurations . Finally, the explicit rate function for the joint probability of the empirical density and of the empirical total activity that represents the total density of jumps of a long trajectory is written in terms of the two matrix elements and , where represents the off-diagonal part of the supersymmetric Hamiltonian H. This general framework is then applied to pure or random spin chains with single-spin-flip or two-spin-flip transition rates, where the supersymmetric Hamiltonian H corresponds to quantum spin chains with local interactions involving Pauli matrices of two or three neighboring sites. It is then useful to introduce the quantum density matrix associated with the empirical density in order to rewrite the various rate functions in terms of reduced density matrices involving only two or three neighboring sites.","PeriodicalId":17207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141576017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate the degree to which the nonlinearity of the neural network is essential. For this purpose, we employ the Koopman operator, extended dynamic mode decomposition, and the tensor-train format. The Koopman operator approach has been recently developed in physics and nonlinear sciences; the Koopman operator deals with the time evolution in the observable space instead of the state space. Since we can replace the nonlinearity in the state space with the linearity in the observable space, it is a hopeful candidate for understanding complex behavior in nonlinear systems. Here, we analyze learned neural networks for the classification problems. As a result, the replacement of the nonlinear middle layers with the Koopman matrix yields enough accuracy in numerical experiments. In addition, we confirm that the pruning of the Koopman matrix gives sufficient accuracy even at high compression ratios. These results indicate the possibility of extracting some features in the neural networks with the Koopman operator approach.","PeriodicalId":17207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141548342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To validate the proposed framework, two sets of numerical experiments are conducted, using experimental data collected by previous researchers. In one set of experiments, small leader-follower groups without subgroups are considered. In the other set, groups are leaderless and can be small or large with zero or more subgroups. The impact of crowd groups on fundamental diagrams is also experimented. The conducted experiments indicate that the proposed framework can reproduce results that are quite comparable to practical values, thus the framework’s efficacy is validated within a certain range.","PeriodicalId":17207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment","volume":"194 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141517115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And the reason is well known. Since blackbody pressure depends only on temperature, one cannot take the derivative of the thermodynamic quantities with respect to one of them, keeping the other constant. That is, the heat capacity at constant pressure, CP, as well as, the coefficient of thermal expansion, α, and the isothermal compressibility, κT, are ill-defined quantities. This work will show that when the perfect conducting nature of the walls of a blackbody cavity is taken into account, CP, α and κT are in fact well defined, and they are related by the usual thermodynamic relations, as expected. Two geometries will be considered, namely, a spherical shell and a cubic box. It will be shown that CP, α and κT depend very much on the geometry of the cavity. Issues regarding thermodynamic stability will be addressed, revealing that they also depend on the cavity’s geometry. It is argued that these findings may be amenable to experimental verification.","PeriodicalId":17207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141502491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the model, we analyse the influence of the number of obstacles, their position and their distance to the wall with the exit on the TET. In addition, we discuss the relationship between the average density at the exit and the TET, which shows that crowd diversion is an effective method to alleviate congestion and shorten the TET. The simulation results show that the evacuation efficiency can be improved by reasonably setting obstacles near the exit.

One temperature refers to an ambient thermal bath, and the other temperature effectively describes ‘hot spots,’ i.e. systems with few degrees of freedom showing important population homogenization or even inversion of energy levels as a result of activation. That setup admits to quantitatively specifying the resulting nonequilibrium driving, rendering local detailed balance to active particle models, and making easy contact with thermodynamic features. In addition, we observe that the shape transition in the steady low-temperature behavior of run-and-tumble particles (with the interesting emergence of edge states at high persistence) is stable and occurs for all temperature differences, including close to equilibrium.","PeriodicalId":17207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141517118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
