Thermodynamic Integration in 3n Dimensions Without Biases or Alchemy for Protein Interactions
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Thermodynamic integration (TI), a powerful formalism for computing Gibbs free energy, has been implemented for many biophysical processes with alchemical schemes that require delicate human efforts to choose/design biasing potentials for sampling the ...

Free-energy calculations [PDF]
, 2002 The techniques that can be used to study phase diagrams numerically depend on the character of the phase transitions. In particular, there is quite a difference among the tools used to study first-order phase transitions and those applied to analyze critical phenomena near continuous phase transitions.

Synthese, 2007 If one formulates Helmholtz's ideas about perception in terms of modern-day theories one arrives at a model of perceptual inference and learning that can explain a remarkable range of neurobiological facts. Using constructs from statistical physics it can be shown that the problems of inferring what cause our sensory input and learning causal ...

Entropy, 2022 The Rényi entropy is a generalization of the usual concept of entropy which depends on a parameter q. In fact, Rényi entropy is closely related to free energy. Suppose we start with a system in thermal equilibrium and then suddenly divide the temperature by q.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 The translocation of lipids across membranes (flip-flop) is an important biological process. Slow exchange on a physiological timescale allows the creation of asymmetric distributions of lipids across cellular membranes.

Harnessing the Bethe free energy
Random Structures & Algorithms, 2016 ABSTRACTA wide class of problems in combinatorics, computer science and physics can be described along the following lines. There are a large number of variables ranging over a finite domain that interact through constraints that each bind a few variables and either encourage or discourage certain value combinations.

Cluster expansion for the description of condensed state: crystalline cell approach
Condensed Matter Physics, 2018 A well-known cluster expansion, which leads to virial expansion for the free energy of low density systems, is modified in such a way that it becomes applicable to the description of condensed state of matter.

Free Energy, Value, and Attractors
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2012 It has been suggested recently that action and perception can be understood as minimising the free energy of sensory samples. This ensures that agents sample the environment to maximise the evidence for their model of the world, such that exchanges with the environment are predictable and adaptive.
