Kinetic energy fluctuations and specific heat in generalized ensembles
Sergio Davis, Catalina Ruíz, Claudia Loyola +2
We derive an exact generalization of the well-known Lebowitz--Percus--Verlet (LPV) formula that relates the kinetic energy fluctuations of an isolated system to its specific heat.…
Superstatistics as the thermodynamic limit of driven classical systems
Sergio Davis, Claudia Loyola, Carlos Femenías +1
Superstatistics is an elegant framework for the description of steady-state thermodynamics, mostly used for systems with long-range interactions such as plasmas. In this work, we s…
Configurational density of states and melting of simple solids
Sergio Davis, Claudia Loyola, Joaquín Peralta
We analyze the behavior of the microcanonical and canonical caloric curves for a piecewise model of the configurational density of states of simple solids, in the context of meltin…
A novel Bayesian approach to the computation of the configurational density of states
Felipe Moreno, Sergio Davis, Joaquín Peralta
In this work we develop and implement a novel Bayesian method for computing the DOS of a system. This method is based on the use of a test function with adjustable parameters and w…
A portable and flexible implementation of the Wang--Landau algorithm in order to determine the Density of States
Felipe Moreno, Joaquín Peralta, Sergio Davis
In this work we develop an implementation of the Wang--Landau algorithm [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{86}, 2050-2053 (2001)]. This algorithm allows us to find the density of states (DO…
Deterministic physical systems under uncertain initial conditions: the case of maximum entropy applied to projectile motion
Alejandra Montecinos, Sergio Davis, Joaquín Peralta
The kinematics and dynamics of deterministic physical systems have been a foundation of our understanding of the world since Galileo and Newton. For real systems, however, uncertai…
Bayesian statistical modelling of microcanonical melting times at the superheated regime
Sergio Davis, Claudia Loyola, Joaquín Peralta
Homogeneous melting of superheated crystals at constant energy is a dynamical process, believed to be triggered by the accumulation of thermal vacancies and their self-diffusion. F…
A Bayesian interpretation of abrupt phase transitions
Sergio Davis, Joaquín Peralta, Yasmín Navarrete +2
The formalism used in describing the thermodynamics of abrupt (or first-order) phase transitions is reviewed as an application of maximum entropy inference. In this treatment, we s…
