A simple condition implying rapid mixing of single-site dynamics on spin systems
Spin systems are a general way to describe local interactions between nodes in a graph. In statistical mechanics, spin systems are often used as a model for physical systems. In c...

Activation energy-based simulation for self-assembly of multi-shape tiles
Building artificial systems using self-assembly is one of the main issues of artificial life [17]. Scientists are trying to understand this process either using experimental appro...

Scientific Model-Building as Search in Matrix Spaces
Many reported discovery systems build discrete models of hidden structure, properties, or processes in the diverse fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. We show that the sear...

On the Observable Behaviour of Composite Components
The crucial strength of the component paradigm lies in the possibility to encapsulate behaviours. In this work, we focus on the observable behaviour of composite components which ...

Staggered projections for frictional contact in multibody systems
We present a new discrete velocity-level formulation of frictional contact dynamics that reduces to a pair of coupled projections and introduce a simple fixed-point property of th...
