Fluid-like behavior of a one-dimensional granular gas
Fabio Cecconi, Fabiana Diotallevi, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi +1
We study the properties of a one-dimensional (1D) granular gas consisting of hard rods on a line of length (with periodic boundary conditions). The particles collide inelas…
Complexity Characterization of Dynamical Systems Through Predictability
Fabio Cecconi, Massimo Falcioni, Angelo Vulpiani
Some aspects of the predictability problem in dynamical systems are reviewed. The deep relation among Lyapunov exponents, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, Shannon entropy and algorithmic…
Minimal Stochastic Model for Fermi's Acceleration
Freddy Bouchet, Fabio Cecconi, Angelo Vulpiani
We introduce a simple stochastic system able to generate anomalous diffusion both for position and velocity. The model represents a viable description of the Fermi's acceleration m…
Topological thermal instability and the length of proteins
R. Burioni, D. Cassi, F. Cecconi +1
We present an analysis of the role of global topology on the structural stability of folded proteins in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath. For a large class of single domain pro…
Mean Field Approach for a Statistical Mechanical Model of Proteins
Pierpaolo Bruscolini, Fabio Cecconi
We study the thermodynamical properties of a topology-based model proposed by Galzitskaya and Finkelstein for the description of protein folding. We devise and test three different…
