The so-called Landauer-Bennett thesis says that logically irreversible operations (physically implemented) such as erasure necessarily involve dissipation by at least kln2 per bit of lost information. We identify the physical conditions that are nece...

Fluctuations in the Energetic Properties of a Spark-Ignition Engine Model with Variability

  • Pedro L. Curto-Risso,
  • Alejandro Medina,
  • Antonio Calvo-Hernández,
  • Lev Guzmán-Vargas and
  • Fernando Angulo-Brown

19 August 2013

We study the energetic functions obtained in a simulated spark-ignited engine that incorporates cyclic variability through a quasi-dimensional combustion model. Our analyses are focused on the effects of the fuel-air equivalence ratio of the mixture...

Synchronization of a Class of Fractional-Order Chaotic Neural Networks

  • Liping Chen,
  • Jianfeng Qu,
  • Yi Chai,
  • Ranchao Wu and
  • Guoyuan Qi

14 August 2013

The synchronization problem is studied in this paper for a class of fractional-order chaotic neural networks. By using the Mittag-Leffler function, M-matrix and linear feedback control, a sufficient condition is developed ensuring the synchronization...

In classical thermodynamic, maximum power obtained from system (or minimum power supplied to system) defined as availability (exergy), but availability term is only used for reversible systems. In reality, there is no reversible system, all systems...

Linearized Transfer Entropy for Continuous Second Order Systems

  • Jonathan M. Nichols,
  • Frank Bucholtz and
  • Joe V. Michalowicz

7 August 2013

The transfer entropy has proven a useful measure of coupling among components of a dynamical system. This measure effectively captures the influence of one system component on the transition probabilities (dynamics) of another. The original motivatio...

Low-Temperature Behaviour of Social and Economic Networks

  • Diego Garlaschelli,
  • Sebastian E. Ahnert,
  • Thomas M. A. Fink and
  • Guido Caldarelli

5 August 2013

Real-world social and economic networks typically display a number of particular topological properties, such as a giant connected component, a broad degree distribution, the small-world property and the presence of communities of densely interconnec...

Estimation Bias in Maximum Entropy Models

  • Jakob H. Macke,
  • Iain Murray and
  • Peter E. Latham

2 August 2013

Maximum entropy models have become popular statistical models in neuroscience and other areas in biology and can be useful tools for obtaining estimates of mutual information in biological systems. However, maximum entropy models fit to small data se...
