Statistical Physics of Self-Replication [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012
Self-replication is a capacity common to every species of living thing, and simple physical intuition dictates that such a process must invariably be fueled by the production of entropy. Here, we undertake to make this intuition rigorous and quantitative

Semantic information, autonomous agency and non-equilibrium statistical physics. [PDF]

Interface Focus, 2018
Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information, which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems.

Tropical Limit in Statistical Physics [PDF]

Physics Letters A, 2015
Tropical limit for macroscopic systems in equilibrium defined as the formal limit of Boltzmann constant k going to 0 is discussed. It is shown that such tropical limit is well-adapted to analyse properties of systems with highly degenerated energy levels,

Blessing of dimensionality: mathematical foundations of the statistical physics of data. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
The concentrations of measure phenomena were discovered as the mathematical background to statistical mechanics at the end of the nineteenth/beginning of the twentieth century and have been explored in mathematics ever since.

Statistical physics of community ecology: a cavity solution to MacArthur's consumer resource model. [PDF]

J Stat Mech, 2018
A central question in ecology is to understand the ecological processes that shape community structure. Niche-based theories have emphasized the important role played by competition for maintaining species diversity.

Statistical physics of independent component analysis [PDF]

, 2003
Statistical physics is used to investigate independent component analysis with polynomial contrast functions. While the replica method fails, an adapted cavity approach yields valid results. The learning curves, obtained in a suitable thermodynamic limit,

Biological evolution and statistical physics [PDF]

Advances in Physics, 2001
This review is an introduction to theoretical models and mathematical calculations for biological evolution, aimed at physicists. The methods in the field are naturally very similar to those used in statistical physics, although the majority of publications appeared in biology journals. The review has three parts, which can be read independently.
