Zero-information limit of a collective olfactory search model

Francesco Boccardo, Simone Di Marino, Agnese Seminara

We address the problem of how individuals can integrate efficiently their private behavior with information provided by others within a group. To this end, we consider the model of…

Reinforcement Learning with thermal fluctuations at the nano-scale

Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis

Reinforcement Learning offers a framework to learn to choose actions in order to achieve some goal. However, at the nano-scale, thermal fluctuations hamper the learning process. We…

Temperature transitions and degeneracy in the control of small clusters with a macroscopic field

Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis

We present a numerical investigation of the control of few-particle fluctuating clusters with a macroscopic field. Our goal is to reach a given target cluster shape is minimum time…

Equilibrium return times of small fluctuating clusters and vacancies

Francesco Boccardo, Younes Benamara, Olivier Pierre-Louis

The expected return time of a fluctuating two-dimensional cluster or vacancy to a given configuration is studied in thermodynamic equilibrium. We define a family of bond-breaking m…

Controlling the shape of small clusters with and without macroscopic fields

Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis

Despite major advances in the understanding of the formation and dynamics of nano-clusters in the past decades, theoretical bases for the control of their shape are still lacking.…
