Discrete vs. continuous dynamics in biology: When do they align and when do they diverge?
Shuyun Jiao, David Waxman
Many biological systems are governed by difference equations and exhibit discrete-time dynamics. Examples include the size of a population when generations are non-overlapping, and…
How can we measure the information created by natural selection?
Joel R. Peck, David Waxman
Natural selection can create information. In particular, because of the action of natural selection, we can often learn something about an environment by examining local organisms,…
Exact first passage time distribution for nonlinear chemical reaction networks II: monomolecular reactions and a A + B - C type of second-order reaction with arbitrary initial conditions
Changqian Rao, David Waxman, Wei Lin +1
In biochemical reaction networks, the first passage time (FPT) of a reaction quantifies the time it takes for the reaction to first occur, from the initial state. While the mean FP…
A dynamical measure of algorithmically infused visibility
Shaojing Sun, Zhiyuan Liu, David Waxman
This work focuses on the nature of visibility in societies where the behaviours of humans and algorithms influence each other - termed algorithmically infused societies. We propose…
