Statistical mechanics of LDPC codes on channels with memory

I. Neri, N. S. Skantzos

We present an analytic method of assessing the typical performance of low-density parity-check codes on finite-state Markov channels. We show that this problem is similar to a spin…

Vanna-Volga methods applied to FX derivatives : from theory to market practice

Frédéric Bossens, Grégory Rayée, Nikos S. Skantzos +1

We study Vanna-Volga methods which are used to price first generation exotic options in the Foreign Exchange market. They are based on a rescaling of the correction to the Black-Sc…

Gallager error correcting codes for binary asymmetric channels

I. Neri, N. S. Skantzos, D. Bollé

We derive critical noise levels for Gallager codes on asymmetric channels as a function of the input bias and the temperature. Using a statistical mechanics approach we study the s…

Thermodynamics of spin systems on small-world hypergraphs

D. Bolle, R. Heylen, N. S. Skantzos

We study the thermodynamic properties of spin systems on small-world hypergraphs, obtained by superimposing sparse Poisson random graphs with p-spin interactions onto a one-dimensi…

Fluctuation symmetries for work and heat

Marco Baiesi, Tim Jacobs, Christian Maes +1

We consider a particle dragged through a medium at constant temperature as described by a Langevin equation with a time-dependent potential. The time-dependence is specified by an…

On metastable configurations of small-world networks

R. Heylen, N. S. Skantzos, J. Busquets Blanco +1

We calculate the number of metastable configurations of Ising small-world networks which are constructed upon superimposing sparse Poisson random graphs onto a one-dimensional chai…
