In this work, we revisit two well-established numerical methods for its computation. The first is an iterative algorithm for solving the nonlinear equation that defines the quasi-stationary distribution. We generalize this technique to accommodate general Markov stochastic processes, either with discrete or continuous state space, and with multiple absorbing states. The second is a Monte Carlo method with resetting, for which we propose a single-trajectory approach that uses the trajectory's own history to perform resets after absorption. In addition to these methodological contributions, we provide a detailed analysis of implementation aspects for both methods. We also compare their accuracy and efficiency across a range of examples. The results indicate that the iterative algorithm is generally the preferred choice for problems with simple boundaries, while the Monte Carlo approach is more suitable for problems with complex boundaries, where the implementation of the iterative algorithm is a challenging task.</p>","PeriodicalId":48698,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review E","volume":"113 3-1","pages":"034316"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147718680","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 introduce an iterative bicolored percolation process in two dimensions and show that it can both preserve criticality and transform fractal dimensions. Starting from critical configurations, such as the O(n) loop and fuzzy Potts models, successive coarse graining generates a hierarchy of distinct yet critical generations. Using the conformal loop ensemble, we derive exact, generation-dependent fractal dimensions, which are quantitatively confirmed by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. The evolutionary trajectory depends not only on the universality class of the initial state but also on whether it possesses a two-state critical structure, leading to different critical exponents starting from site and bond percolation.

To elucidate the detailed mechanism and causality underlying this phenomenon, we construct a simple stochastic predator-prey model that incorporates intrinsic fluctuations and analyze its statistical properties from an information-theoretic perspective. We first show that the model exhibits persistent fluctuating cyclic oscillations called quasicycles due to amplification of intrinsic noise. This result suggests the possibility that the previously observed periodic oscillations in a toroidal plasma are not limit cycles, but quasicycles, and that such quasicycles may be widely observed under various conditions. For this model, we further prove that information of the zonal flow is propagated to turbulence.

We construct a minimal model for a ternary mixture composed of isotropic (I), anisotropic (A), and solvent (s) components by combining the Flory-Huggins and Maier-Saupe theories. We obtain two main results from evaluating the phase behavior and the time evolution of the density fields. First, for certain interaction parameters, two distinct binodal lines appear in the plane of the volume fractions of the I- and A-components, and merge through their respective critical points. Second, rapid droplet formation emerges due to a weakly first-order phase transition, characterized by a discontinuity of the spinodal surface.

The experiments were performed under vacuum-to-forevacuum discharge conditions using nanosecond current pulses of up to ∼1 kA. It was found that an extended region of the copper emitter, with a length of ∼200-300 µm, remains intact for tens of nanoseconds and even after the discharge ends, while the emitter's base explodes completely, and its explosion products become stratified. A transition zone is observed between the base and end regions of the emitter, characterized by a smooth or sharp expansion of the degraded metal without stratification in the explosion products. During the copper emitter explosion, ejections of dense plasma with an electron concentration of at least 10^{20}cm^{-3} can occur. The expansion velocity of the exploded copper emitter material can reach (1-3)×10^{5} cm/s at residual air pressures of 10^{-4} to 10^{-1} Torr. An increase in air pressure to ∼1 Torr leads to a decrease in both the specific energy input and the expansion velocity of the explosion products. The explosion dynamics of copper and tungsten point emitters differ. In the structure of the tungsten emitter's explosion products, no striations are observed, and the length of the exploded region almost entirely coincides with the emitter's total length. Analysis of the point emitters' explosion dynamics and the discharge's electrophysical parameters indicates that the transition of the emitter to the explosion regime is based on two key stages: first, the achievement of the explosive electron emission mode over an extended part of the emitter's end region, followed by the development of a shunting breakdown through the expanding explosion products along the emitter surface.</p>","PeriodicalId":48698,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review E","volume":"113 3-2","pages":"035203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147718904","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}

What physical factors control these fractures? In these processes, what sets the eventual size of clusters? We first develop a one-dimensional framework for understanding cell clusters that can fragment due to cell motility using an active particle model. We compute analytically how the break rate of cell-cell junctions depends on cell speed, cell persistence, and cell-cell junction properties. Next, we find the cluster size distributions, which differ depending on whether all cells can divide or only the cells on the edge of the cluster divide. Cluster size distributions depend solely on the ratio of the break rate to the growth rate-allowing us to predict how cluster size and variability depend on cell motility and cell-cell mechanics. Our results suggest that organisms can achieve better size control when cell division is restricted to the cluster boundaries or when fracture can be localized to the cluster center. Additionally, we derive a universal survival probability for an intact cluster S(t)=e^{-k_{d}t} at steady state if all cells can divide, which is independent of the rupture kinetics and depends solely on the cell division rate k_{d}. Finally, we further corroborate the one-dimensional analytics with two-dimensional simulations, finding quantitative agreement with some-but not all-elements of the theory across a wide range of cell motility. Our results link the general physics problem of a collective active escape over a barrier to size control, providing a quantitative measure of how motility can regulate organ or organism size.</p>","PeriodicalId":48698,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review E","volume":"113 3-1","pages":"034405"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13094707/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147718509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
