Recursiveness, Switching, and Fluctuations in a Replicating Catalytic Network
Kunihiko Kaneko
A protocell model consisting of mutually catalyzing molecules is studied in order to investigate how chemical compositions are transferred recursively through cell divisions under…
Relaxation, the Boltzmann-Jeans Conjecture and Chaos
Naoko Nakagawa, Kunihiko Kaneko
Slow (logarithmic) relaxation from a highly excited state is studied in a Hamiltonian system with many degrees of freedom. The relaxation time is shown to increase as the exponenti…
A Dynamic Mechanism of Energy Conversion to a Mechanical Work
Naoko Nakagawa, Kunihiko Kaneko
We propose a dynamic mechanism of a molecular machine for energy conversion, by considering a simple model describing the dynamics of two components, the head and the chain. After…
Sympatric speciation: compliance with phenotype diversification from a single genotype
Kunihiko Kaneko, Tetsuya Yomo
A novel mechanism for sympatric speciation that takes into account complex bio-processes within each individual organism is proposed. According to dynamical systems theory, organis…
