Cognitive computation, such as e.g. language processing, is conventionally regarded as Turing computation, and Turing machines can be uniquely implemented as nonlinear dynamical systems using generalized shifts and subsequent Gödel encoding of the symbolic repertoire. The resulting nonlinear dynamical automata (NDA) are piecewise affine-linear maps acting on the unit square that is partitioned ...

Many-body physics aims to understand emergent properties of systems made many interacting objects. This article reviews recent progress on the topic radiative heat transfer in many-body consisting thermal emitters near-field regime. Near-field is a rapidly emerging field research which cooperative behavior gives rise peculiar effects can be exploited control flow at nanoscale. Using an extensio...
