Action principle in nonequilibrium statistical dynamics.
We introduce a variational method for approximating distribution functions of dynamics with a “Liouville operator” L̂, in terms of a nonequilibrium action functional for two independent (left and right) trial states. The method is valid for deterministic or stochastic Markov dynamics, and for stationary or time-dependent distributions. A practical Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is advanced, whose input...
متن کاملPrinciple of Minimum Discrimination Information and Replica Dynamics
Dynamics of many complex systems can be described by replicator equations (RE). Here we present an effective method for solving a wide class of RE based on reduction theorems for models of inhomogeneous communities. The solutions of the RE minimize the discrimination information of the initial and current distributions at each point of the system trajectory, not only at the equilibrium, under t...
متن کاملOn Hamiltonian and Action Principle Formulations of Plasma Dynamics
A general discussion of Hamiltonian and action principle formulations for fliud and plasma models is given. A procedure, based on Hamilton's principle of mechanics but adapted for continua, for the construction of action principles for fliud and kinetic models is given. The transformation from action principles in terms of the Lagrangian variable description to the Eulerian variable description...
متن کاملThe Geometric Minimum Action Method: A Least Action Principle on the Space of Curves
Freidlin-Wentzell theory of large deviations for the description of the effect of small random perturbations on dynamical systems is exploited as a numerical tool. Specifically, a numerical algorithm is proposed to compute the quasipotential in the theory, which is the key object to quantify the dynamics on long time scales when the effect of the noise becomes ubiquitous: the equilibrium distri...
متن کاملMinimum Description Length Principle
The minimum description length (MDL) principle states that one should prefer the model that yields the shortest description of the data when the complexity of the model itself is also accounted for. MDL provides a versatile approach to statistical modeling. It is applicable to model selection and regularization. Modern versions of MDL lead to robust methods that are well suited for choosing an ...
