Limits to scaling relations between adsorption energies?
, 2022 Linear scaling relations have led to an understanding of trends in catalytic activity and selectivity of many reactions in heterogeneous and electro-catalysis. Yet, linear scaling between the chemisorption energies of any two small molecule adsorbates is

Optimal scaling and diffusion limits for the Langevin algorithm in high dimensions [PDF]
, 2011 The Metropolis-adjusted Langevin (MALA) algorithm is a sampling algorithm which makes local moves by incorporating information about the gradient of the target density. In this paper we study the efficiency of MALA on a natural class of target measures

Earth’s Complexity Is Non-Computable: The Limits of Scaling Laws, Nonlinearity and Chaos
Entropy, 2021 Current physics commonly qualifies the Earth system as ‘complex’ because it includes numerous different processes operating over a large range of spatial scales, often modelled as exhibiting non-linear chaotic response dynamics and power scaling laws ...

Theoretical limits of scaling-down internal combustion engines [PDF]
, 2010 Small-scale energy conversion devices are being developed for a variety of applications; these include propulsion units for micro aerial vehicles (MAV). The high specific energy of hydrocarbon and hydrogen fuels, as compared to other energy storing means,

Scaling limits of dS vacua and the swampland
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We discuss the properties of massive type IIA flux compactifications. In particular, we investigate in which case one can obtain dS vacua at large volume and small coupling.

Kibble-Zurek scaling in quantum speed limits for shortcuts to adiabaticity
Physical Review Research, 2020 Geometric quantum speed limits quantify the tradeoff between the rate at which quantum states can change and the resources that are expended during the evolution. Counterdiabatic driving is a unique tool from shortcuts to adiabaticity to speed up quantum

Exact Derivation of a Finite-Size Scaling Law and Corrections to Scaling in the Geometric Galton-Watson Process. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The theory of finite-size scaling explains how the singular behavior of thermodynamic quantities in the critical point of a phase transition emerges when the size of the system becomes infinite. Usually, this theory is presented in a phenomenological way.

Scaling limits for infinite-server systems in a random environment
Stochastic Systems, 2017 This paper studies the effect of an overdispersed arrival process on the performance of an infinite-server system. In our setup, a random environment is modeled by drawing an arrival rate Λ from a given distribution every Δ time units, yielding an i.i.d.
