This review summarizes recent developments in the theory of spin glasses, as well as
pertinent experimental data. The most characteristic properties of spin glass systems are …

This review covers recent experimental and theoretical investigations into cooperative
phenomena in crystals containing off-center ions. These phenomena have attracted much …

Designed as an introductory level textbook on Artificial Neural Networks at the postgraduate
and senior undergraduate levels in any branch of engineering, this self-contained and well …

Debashish Chowdhury's critical review of more than a thousand papers not only identifies
the complexities involved in the theoretical understanding of the real spin glasses but also …

We propose an algorithm which has several of the characteristics of simulated annealing but
whose updating rule is deterministic. The results of the comparison between the two …

The zero-temperature ground-state properties of five spin-glass models have been studied
as a function of the cooling rate r=− Δ T t. Here Δ T is the temperature decrement and t is the …

Population approaches suitable for global combinatorial optimization are discussed in this
paper. They are composed of a number of distinguishable individuals called" agents", each …

We study hysteretic phenomena in random ferromagnets. We argue that the angle
dependent magnetostatic (dipolar) terms introduce frustration and long-range interactions in …

A cluster mean-field method is introduced and the applications to the Ising and Heisenberg
models are demonstrated. We divide the lattice sites into clusters whose size and shape are …
