Multi-Agent Pathfinding (MAPF) plays a critical role in various domains. Traditional MAPF methods typically assume unit edge costs and single-timestep actions, which limit their applicability to real-world scenarios. MAPFR extends MAPF to handle non-unit costs with real-valued edge costs and continu…
Higher-order spacing statistics in the $m$ superposed spectra of circular random matrices of the same class are studied numerically. We conjecture that for given $m$ (or order $k$) and $β$, the sequence of modified Dyson index $β'(k)$ (or $β'(m)$) obtained using the sum of absolute differences be…
A definition for the statistical significance by constructing a correlation between the normal distribution integral probability and the p-value observed in an experiment is proposed, which is suitable for both counting experiment and continuous test statistics.…
Researchers working in lattice field theory constitute an established community since the early 1990s, and around the same time the online open-access e-print repository arXiv was created. The fact that this field has a specific arXiv section, hep-lat, which is comprehensively used, provides a uniqu…
We demonstrate that the recently proposed pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method PERM (P.~Grassberger, Phys.~Rev.~{\bf E 56} (1997) 3682) leads to very efficient algorithms for the folding of simple model proteins. We test it on several models for lattice heteropolymers, and compare to published Monte …
The folding kinetics of a number of sequences for off-lattice continuum model of proteins is studied using Langevin simulations at two values of the friction coefficient. We show that there is a remarkable correlation between folding times, $τ_{F}$, and $σ= (T_{θ} - T_{F})/T_{θ} $, where $T_{θ}…
This study discusses factors that keep women from entering science and technology, which include social stereotypes that they struggle against, lack of maternity leave and other basic human rights, and the climate that makes them leave research positions for administrative ones. We then describe int…
Initiatives to increase the number, persistence, and success of women in physics in the US reach pre-teen girls through senior women. Programs exist at both the local and national levels. In addition, researchers have investigated issues related to gender equity in physics and physics education. Ane…
This is the second lecture of `RAGtime' series on electrodynamical effects near black holes. We will summarize the basic equations of relativistic electrodynamics in terms of spin-coefficient (Newman-Penrose) formalism. The aim of the lecture is to present important relations that hold for exact ele…
Arrays of optically trapped atoms excited to Rydberg states have recently emerged as a competitive physical platform for quantum simulation and computing, where high-fidelity state preparation and readout, quantum logic gates and controlled quantum dynamics of more than 100 qubits have all been demo…
