Flyby Distance Pursuit for Guarding a Target with an Inferior Guard

Navot Israeli, Vitaly Shaferman, Oded Golan

Guarding a target against a fast Attacker with a slower Guard is posed as a differential game. Both players follow nonlinear, thrust-free, aerodynamic motion in the plane. The capt…

Coarse-graining of cellular automata, emergence, and the predictability of complex systems

Navot Israeli, Nigel Goldenfeld

We study the predictability of emergent phenomena in complex systems. Using nearest neighbor, one-dimensional Cellular Automata (CA) as an example, we show how to construct local c…

Configurational Continuum modelling of crystalline surface evolution

Navot Israeli, Daniel Kandel

We propose a novel approach to continuum modelling of dynamics of crystal surfaces. Our model follows the evolution of an ensemble of step configurations, which are consistent with…

Low-Energy Electron Microscopy Studies of Interlayer Mass Transport Kinetics on TiN(111)

S. Kodambaka, Navot Israeli, J. Bareno +4

In situ low-energy electron microscopy was used to study interlayer mass transport kinetics during annealing of three-dimensional (3D) TiN(111) mounds, consisting of stacked 2D isl…

On computational irreducibility and the predictability of complex physical systems

Navot Israeli, Nigel Goldenfeld

Using elementary cellular automata (CA) as an example, we show how to coarse-grain CA in all classes of Wolfram's classification. We find that computationally irreducible (CIR) phy…

Comment on "Nonclassical Smoothening of Nanoscale Surface Corrugations"

Navot Israeli, Daniel Kandel

It is shown that the experimentally observed inverse linear decay of surface corrugations in Si(001) (Erlebacher et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5800 (2000)) is due to the two dimensi…
