Purifying and Reversible Physical Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from the observation that reversible processes cannot increase the purity of any input state, we study deterministic physical processes, which map a set of states to a set of pure states. Such a process must map any state to the same pure output, if purity is demanded for the input set of all states. But otherwise, when the input set is restricted, it is possible to find non-trivial purifying processes. For the most restricted case of only two input states, we completely characterize the output of any such map. We furthermore consider maps, which combine the property of purity and reversibility on a set of states, and we derive necessary and sufficient conditions on sets, which permit such processes.

Purifying selection, drift, and reversible mutation with arbitrarily high mutation rates.
Some species exhibit very high levels of DNA sequence variability; there is also evidence for the existence of heritable epigenetic variants that experience state changes at a much higher rate than sequence variants. In both cases, the resulting high diversity levels within a population (hyperdiversity) mean that standard population genetics methods are not trustworthy. We analyze a population ...
متن کاملSelf-Reproduction in Three-Dimensional Reversible Cellular Space
Due to inevitable power dissipation, it is said that nano-scaled computing devices should perform their computing processes in a reversible manner. This will be a large problem in constructing three-dimensional nano-scaled functional objects. Reversible cellular automata (RCA) are used for modeling physical phenomena such as power dissipation, by studying the dissipation of garbage signals. We ...

Thermochromic printing inks could be security inks which respond to the color change when are being exposed to different temperatures. These inks with unusual chemical and physical specific characteristics are mostly produced for flexographic, screen and rotogravure printing systems under the supervision of skilled technical experts and with precise security controls. Since flexographic thermoc...
متن کاملInterplay of reversible chain transfer and comonomer incorporation reactions in coordination copolymerization of ethylene/1–hexene
Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has opened a new path for the development of novel products like olefin block copolymers and chain-end functional polyolefins. However, conflicting results are frequently reported on the catalyst performance including activity and comonomer selectivity under CCTP conditions. Here we have selected two catalysts including rac-ethylenebis(1-η5-inde...
