With the aid of simple analytical computations for the Ehrenfest model, we clarify some basic features of macroscopic irreversibility. The stochastic character of the model allows us to give a non-ambiguous interpretation of the general idea that irreversibility is a typical property: for the vast majority of the realizations of the stochastic process, a single trajectory of a macroscopic observable behaves irreversibly, remaining very close to the deterministic evolution of its ensemble average, which can be computed using probability theory. The validity of the above scenario is checked through simple numerical simulations and a rigorous proof of the typicality is provided in the thermodynamic limit. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

Using machine-learning modeling to understand macroscopic dynamics in a system of coupled maps

Francesco Borra, Marco Baldovin

Summary: Machine-learning techniques can efficiently model dynamical systems and serve as investigative instruments for underlying physics. These methods can provide nontrivial information about original dynamics and help gain insights into the physics of macroscopic motion. By comparing outcomes from machine-learning approaches and numerical computations, researchers can test the ability to describe nontrivial evolution laws and infer important information about dynamics.

Correlation, response and entropy approaches to allosteric behaviors: a critical comparison on the ubiquitin case

Fabio Cecconi, Giulio Costantini, Carlo Guardiani, Marco Baldovin, Angelo Vulpiani

Summary: Correlation analysis and principal component analysis are widely used tools for predicting the biological functions of macromolecules. However, these analyses may lead to misinterpretation due to the absence of causation links between elements. In this study, we compared correlation analysis with two other indicators, response function and transfer entropy, to quantify causal dependence using ubiquitin as a benchmark. Our comparison suggests that combining these three analysis methods can help validate the preliminary information obtained from correlation analysis and discard spurious correlations.

Handy fluctuation-dissipation relation to approach generic noisy systems and chaotic dynamics

M. Baldovin, L. Caprini, A. Vulpiani

Summary: The general formulation of the fluctuation-dissipation relations introduced in this study applies to far-from-equilibrium stochastic dynamics without requiring explicit knowledge of the stationary probability density function. It provides exact results for systems with multiplicative and non-Gaussian noise distributions, such as Cauchy noise, and allows for reproducing response functions of deterministic, strongly nonlinear dynamical models even in the presence of chaotic behavior. The formula has important practical applications in various contexts, including geophysics and climate, as demonstrated by the case study of the Lorenz '63 model.

Response and flux of information in extended nonequilibrium dynamics

Camilla Sarra, Marco Baldovin, Angelo Vulpiani

Summary: Entropy production is a proxy for detecting nonequilibrium, but it does not reveal spatial currents or information fluxes in specific elements of the system. Studying transfer entropy and response quantifies the influence of system parts and the asymmetry of fluxes. Numerical investigations show the relationship between entropy production and introduced degrees of asymmetry.

Characterization of the neuronal and network dynamics of liquid state machines

Junhyuk Woo, Soon Ho Kim, Hyeongmo Kim, Kyungreem Han

Summary: Reservoir computing (RC) is a new machine-learning framework that uses an abstract neural network model to process information from complex dynamical systems. This study investigates the neuronal and network dynamics of liquid state machines (LSMs) using numerical simulations and classification tasks. The findings suggest that the computational performance of LSMs is closely related to the dynamic range, with a larger dynamic range resulting in higher performance.

TRELM-DROP: An impavement non-iterative algorithm for traffic flow forecast

Yuwei Yang, Zhuoxuan Li, Jun Chen, Zhiyuan Liu, Jinde Cao

Summary: This paper proposes an extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm based on residual correction and Tent chaos sequence (TRELM-DROP) for accurate prediction of traffic flow. The algorithm reduces the impact of randomness in traffic flow through the Tent chaos strategy and residual correction method, and avoids weight optimization using the iterative method. A DROP strategy is introduced to improve the algorithm's ability to predict traffic flow under varying conditions.

A simple learning agent interacting with an agent-based market model

Matthew Dicks, Andrew Paskaramoorthy, Tim Gebbie

Summary: In this study, we investigate the learning dynamics of a single reinforcement learning optimal execution trading agent when it interacts with an event-driven agent-based financial market model. The results show that the agents with smaller state spaces converge faster and are able to intuitively learn to trade using spread and volume states. The introduction of the learning agent has a robust impact on the moments of the model, except for the Hurst exponent, which decreases, and it can increase the micro-price volatility as trading volumes increase.

Summary: This paper developed a cooperative lane-changing decision system based on digital technology and indirect reciprocity. By introducing image scoring and a Q-learning based reinforcement learning algorithm, drivers can continuously evaluate gains and adjust their strategies. The study shows that this decision system can improve driver cooperation and traffic efficiency, achieving over 50% cooperation probability under any connected vehicles penetration and traffic density, and reaching 100% cooperation probability under high penetration and medium to high traffic density.

Joint estimation of Ising model parameters with Hamiltonian constraint

Oliver Smirnov

Summary: This study proposes a new method for simultaneously estimating the parameters of the 2D Ising model. The method solves a constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is a pseudo-log-likelihood and the constraint is the Hamiltonian of the external field. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using models of different shapes and sizes to evaluate the performance of the method with and without the Hamiltonian constraint. The results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method yields lower variance across all model shapes and sizes compared to a simple pseudo-maximum likelihood.

First-passage time statistics for non-linear diffusion

Przemyslaw Chelminiak

Summary: The study investigates the first-passage properties of a non-linear diffusion equation with diffusivity dependent on the concentration/probability density through a power-law relationship. The survival probability and first-passage time distribution are determined based on the power-law exponent, and both exact and approximate expressions are derived, along with their asymptotic representations. The results pertain to diffusing particles that are either freely or harmonically trapped. The mean first-passage time is finite for the harmonically trapped particle, while it is divergent for the freely diffusing particle.

Langevin picture of subdiffusive particles under the joint influence of an expanding medium and an external constant force

Xudong Wang, Yao Chen

Summary: This article investigates the joint influence of expanding medium and constant force on particle diffusion. By starting from the Langevin picture and introducing the effect of external force in two different ways, two models with different force terms are obtained. Detailed analysis and derivation yield the Fokker-Planck equations and moments for the two models. The sustained force behaves as a decoupled force, while the intermittent force changes the diffusion behavior with specific effects depending on the expanding rate of the medium.
