Alignment of Rods and Partition of Integers

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky

We study dynamical ordering of rods. In this process, rod alignment via pairwise interactions competes with diffusive wiggling. Under strong diffusion, the system is disordered, bu…

Interference between independent fluctuating condensates

Anatoli Polkovnikov, Ehud Altman, Eugene Demler

We consider a problem of interference between two independent condensates, which lack true long range order. We show that their interference pattern contains information about corr…

Relation Between the Widom line and the Strong-Fragile Dynamic Crossover in Systems with a Liquid-Liquid Phase Transition

L. Xu, P. Kumar, S. V. Buldyrev +4

We investigate, for two water models displaying a liquid-liquid critical point, the relation between changes in dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies arising from the presence of the…

Polymerization with Freezing

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky

Irreversible aggregation processes involving reactive and frozen clusters are investigated using the rate equation approach. In aggregation events, two clusters join irreversibly t…

Optimization of Network Robustness to Random Breakdowns

Gerald Paul, Sameet Sreenivasan, Shlomo Havlin +1

We study network configurations that provide optimal robustness to random breakdowns for networks with a given number of nodes and a given cost--which we take as the average nu…

Resilience of Complex Networks to Random Breakdown

Gerald Paul, Sameet Sreenivasan, H. Eugene Stanley

Using Monte Carlo simulations we calculate , the fraction of nodes which are randomly removed before global connectivity is lost, for networks with scale-free and bimodal degr…

Breakdown of Hydrodynamics in a Simple One-Dimensional Fluid

Pablo I. Hurtado

We investigate the behavior of a one-dimensional diatomic fluid under a shock wave excitation. We find that the properties of the resulting shock wave are in striking contrast with…

The Simplest Piston Problem II: Inelastic Collisions

P. I. Hurtado, S. Redner

We study the dynamics of three particles in a finite interval, in which two light particles are separated by a heavy ``piston'', with elastic collisions between particles but inela…

Simulation of the Burridge-Knopoff Model of Earthquakes with Variable Range Stress Transfer

Junchao Xia, Harvey Gould, W. Klein +1

Simple models of earthquake faults are important for understanding the mechanisms for their observed behavior, such as Gutenberg-Richter scaling and the relation between large and…

The Simplest Piston Problem I: Elastic Collisions

P. I. Hurtado, S. Redner

We study the dynamics of three elastic particles in a finite interval where two light particles are separated by a heavy ``piston''. The piston undergoes surprisingly complex motio…

Consensus Formation in Multi-state Majority and Plurality Models

P. Chen, S. Redner

We study consensus formation in interacting systems that evolve by multi-state majority rule and by plurality rule. In an update event, a group of G agents (with G odd), each endow…

Dynamics of Social Balance on Networks

T. Antal, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner

We study the evolution of social networks that contain both friendly and unfriendly pairwise links between individual nodes. The network is endowed with dynamics in which the sense…

Fluctuations in the coarsening dynamics of the O(N) model: are they similar to those in glassy systems?

Claudio Chamon, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Hajime Yoshino

We study spatio-temporal fluctuations in the non-equilibrium dynamics of the d dimensional O(N) in the large N limit. We analyse the invariance of the dynamic equations for the glo…

Strong Shock Waves and Nonequilibrium Response in a One-dimensional Gas: a Boltzmann Equation Approach

Pablo I. Hurtado

We investigate the nonequilibrium behavior of a one-dimensional binary fluid on the basis of Boltzmann equation, using an infinitely strong shock wave as probe. Density, velocity a…

A "Burnt Bridge'' Brownian Ratchet

T. Antal, P. L. Krapivsky

Motivated by a biased diffusion of molecular motors with the bias dependent on the state of the substrate, we investigate a random walk on a one-dimensional lattice that contains w…

Exact scalings in competitive growth models

L. A. Braunstein, Chi-Hang Lam

A competitive growth model (CGM) describes aggregation of a single type of particle under two distinct growth rules with occurrence probabilities and . We explain the orig…

Unzipping flux lines from extended defects in type-II superconductors

Yariv Kafri, David R. Nelson, Anatoli Polkovnikov

With magnetic force microscopy in mind, we study the unbinding transition of individual flux lines from extended defects like columnar pins and twin planes in type II superconducto…

Dynamics of Social Diversity

E. Ben-Naim, S. Redner

We introduce and solve analytically a model for the development of disparate social classes in a competitive population. Individuals advance their fitness by competing against thos…

Entangled networks, synchronization, and optimal network topology

Luca Donetti, Pablo I. Hurtado, Miguel A. Munoz

A new family of graphs, {\it entangled networks}, with optimal properties in many respects, is introduced. By definition, their topology is such that optimizes synchronizability fo…

Percolation with Multiple Giant Clusters
