" Extended Ensemble Monte Carlo" is a generic term that indicates a set of algorithms, which
are now popular in a variety of fields in physics and statistical information processing …

▪ Abstract Polymers offer a wide spectrum of possibilities for materials applications, in part
because of the chemical complexity and variability of the constituent molecules, and in part …

Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO–
Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains 11 signals from black …

These notes are an updated version of lectures given at the Cours de Troisième Cycle de la
Physique en Suisse Romande (Lausanne, Switzerland) in June 1989. We thank the …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in
diverse disciplines,,,,. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of …

We consider self-avoiding walks on the simple cubic lattice in which neighboring pairs of
vertices of the walk (not connected by an edge) have an associated pair-wise additive …

An understanding of statistical thermodynamic molecular theory is fundamental to the
appreciation of molecular solutions. This complex subject has been simplified by the authors …

We present a simple physical model that demonstrates that the native-state folds of proteins
can emerge on the basis of considerations of geometry and symmetry. We show that the …

This review provides an introduction to two dimensional growth processes. Although it
covers a variety of processes such as diffusion limited aggregation, it is mostly devoted to a …
