Quasi-potential landscape in complex multi-stable systems.
The developmental dynamics of multicellular organisms is a process that takes place in a multi-stable system in which each attractor state represents a cell type, and attractor transitions correspond to cell differentiation paths. This new understanding has revived the idea of a quasi-potential landscape, first proposed by Waddington as a metaphor. To describe development, one is interested in ...
متن کاملConstruction of the landscape for multi-stable systems: Potential landscape, quasi-potential, A-type integral and beyond.
Motivated by the famous Waddington's epigenetic landscape metaphor in developmental biology, biophysicists and applied mathematicians made different proposals to construct the landscape for multi-stable complex systems. We aim to summarize and elucidate the relationships among these theories from a mathematical point of view. We systematically investigate and compare three different but closely...
متن کاملComment on "Construction of the landscape for multi-stable systems: Potential landscape, quasi-potential, A-type integral and beyond" [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 094109 (2016)].
Connections between a "SDE decomposition" to other frameworks constructing landscape in non-equilibrium processes were discussed by Zhou and Li [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 094109 (2016)]. It was speculated that the SDE decomposition would not be generally unique. In this comment, we demonstrate both mathematically and physically that the speculation is incorrect and the uniqueness is guaranteed under ...
متن کاملStable Multi-agent Systems
We present an abstract declarative semantics for multi-agent systems based on the idea of stable set, and argue that it can be suitably employed to describe, and to some extent verify, the dynamics of complex systems of autonomous and heterogeneous interacting agents. We view agents as black-boxes, whose semantics is abstractly understood as an input-output transformation from the agents’ obser...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics for States with Complex Eigenvalues and Quasi-stable Semiclassical Systems
Statistical mechanics for states with complex eigenvalues, which are described by Gel’fand triplet and represent unstable states like resonances, are discussed on the basis of principle of equal a priori probability. A new entropy corresponding to the freedom for the imaginary eigenvalues appears in the theory. In equilibriums it induces a new physical observable which can be identified as a co...
