Statistical mechanics of combinatorial optimization problems with site disorder.
We study the statistical mechanics of a class of problems whose phase space is the set of permutations of an ensemble of quenched random positions. Specific examples analyzed are the finite-temperature traveling salesman problem on several different domains and various problems in one dimension such as the so-called descent problem. We first motivate our method by analyzing these problems using...
متن کاملRandom multi - index matching problems
The multi-index matching problem generalizes the well known matching problem by going from pairs to d-uplets. We use the cavity method from statistical physics to analyse its properties when the costs of the d-uplets are random. At low temperatures we find for d ≥ 3 a frozen glassy phase with vanishing entropy. We also investigate some properties of small samples by enumerating the lowest cost ...
متن کاملWell-posedness of eight problems of multi-modal statistical image-matching
Multi-Modal Statistical Image-Matching techniques look for a deformation field that minimizes some error criterion between two images. This is achieved by computing a solution of the parabolic system obtained from the Euler-Lagrange equations of the error criterion. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a classical solution of this parabolic system in eight cases corresponding to the followi...
متن کاملApplications of Statistical Mechanics to Combinatorial Search Problems
The statistical mechanics of combinatorial search problems is described using the example of the well-known NP-complete graph coloring problem. We focus on a recently identified phase transition from underto overconstrained problems, near which are concentrated many hard to solve search problems. Thus, a readily computed measure of problem structure predicts the difficulty of solving the proble...
متن کاملTwo Problems in the Reduction of Thermodynamics to Statistical Mechanics
This is an outtake of a longer work in progress. These pages are roughly the second and third sections of that paper and they serve to identify the problem(s) I will be discussing. However, since identifying a problem is already a complex philosophical enterprise in itself these pages are not quite trivial. It is the author’s hope that they are also quite self-contained. 1 The Ideal Gas Law and...
