Optimisation via encodings: a renormalisation group perspective
Konstantin Klemm, Anita Mehta, Peter F. Stadler
Difficult, in particular NP-complete, optimization problems are traditionally solved approximately using search heuristics. These are usually slowed down by the rugged landscapes e…
Evolution of grammatical forms: some quantitative approaches
Jean-Marc Luck, Anita Mehta
Grammatical forms are said to evolve via two main mechanisms. These are, respectively, the `descent' mechanism, where current forms can be seen to have descended (albeit with occas…
Hearings and mishearings: decrypting the spoken word
Anita Mehta, Jean-Marc Luck
We propose a model of the speech perception of individual words in the presence of mishearings. This phenomenological approach is based on concepts used in linguistics, and provide…
Heterogeneous contact networks in COVID-19 spreading: the role of social deprivation
Arnab Majumdar, Anita Mehta
We have two main aims in this paper. First we use theories of disease spreading on networks to look at the COVID-19 epidemic on the basis of individual contacts -- these give rise…
On the coexistence of competing languages
Jean-Marc Luck, Anita Mehta
We investigate the evolution of competing languages, a subject where much previous literature suggests that the outcome is always the domination of one language over all the others…
Storing and retrieving long-term memories: cooperation and competition in synaptic dynamics
Anita Mehta
We first review traditional approaches to memory storage and formation, drawing on the literature of quantitative neuroscience as well as statistical physics. These have generally…
