Characterisation of the probabilistic travelling salesman problem
Neill E. Bowler, Thomas M. Fink, Robin C. Ball
We show that Stochastic Annealing can be successfully applied to gain new results on the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem (PTSP). The probabilistic "traveling salesman" mus…
Kinetic Capacity of a Protein
Robin C Ball, Thomas M A Fink
The ability of a protein to recognise multiple independent target conformations was demonstrated in [1]. Here we consider the recognition of correlated configurations, which we app…
Thermodynamic Capacity of a Protein
Thomas M A Fink, Robin C Ball
We show that a protein can be trained to recognise multiple conformations, analogous to an associative memory, and provide capacity calculations based on energy fluctuations and in…
The stress field in granular systems: Loop forces and potential formulation
RC Ball, R Blumenfeld
The transmission of stress through a marginally stable granular pile in two dimensions is exactly formulated in terms of a vector field of loop forces, and thence in terms of a sin…
