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 …

With the high-temperature superconductors a qualitatively new regime in the
phenomenology of type-II superconductivity can be accessed. The key elements governing …

This book concerns the use of concepts from statistical physics in the description of financial
systems. The authors illustrate the scaling concepts used in probability theory, critical …

Large Numbers\... the optimal tour displayed (see Figure 6) is the possible unique tour
having one arc xed from among 10655 tours that are possible among 318 points and have …

I find a hierarchical arrangement of stocks traded in a financial market by investigating the
daily time series of the logarithm of stock price. The topological space is a subdominant …

Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as
uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences …

▪ Abstract The energy landscape theory of protein folding is a statistical description of a
protein's potential surface. It assumes that folding occurs through organizing an ensemble of …

Diffusion in disordered systems does not follow the classical laws which describe transport
in ordered crystalline media, and this leads to many anomalous physical properties. Since …

Simulated annealing (SA) presents an optimization technique with several striking positive
and negative features. Perhaps its most salient feature, statistically promising to deliver an …

Kinetic interfaces form the basis of a fascinating, interdisciplinary branch of statistical
mechanics. Diverse stochastic growth processes can be unified via an intriguing nonlinear …
