Using Entropy-Based Methods to Study General Constrained Parameter Optimization Problems
A. R. Lima, M. Argollo de Menezes
In this letter we propose the use of physics techniques for entropy determination on constrained parameter optimization problems. The main feature of such techniques, the construct…

The XY-model with Symmetry: Finite-size scaling analysis using the Broad Histogram Method
J. D. Munoz, A. R. Lima
In this work we investigate the classical ferromagnetic XY-model in two dimensions subject to a symmetry breaking field which impose a symmetry to the system. We used the bro…

Entropy-based analysis of the number partitioning problem
A. R. Lima, M. Argollo de Menezes
In this paper we apply the multicanonical method of statistical physics on the number-partitioning problem (NPP). This problem is a basic NP-hard problem from computer science, and…
