We study the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator near zero virtuality for N c = 2. According to a universality argument, it can be described by a random matrix theory with the chiral structure of QCD, but with real matrix elements. Using results derived by Mehta and Mahoux and Nagao and Wadati, we are able to obtain an analytical result for the microscopic spectral density that in turn is the ge...

This paper explores the substantial effect that the critical understanding and techno-political consideration of data are having in some smart city strategies. Particularly, the paper presents some results of a comparative study of four cases of smart city transitions: Glasgow, Bristol, Barcelona, and Bilbao. Likewise, considering how relevant the city-regional path-dependency is in each territ...

This paper provides an example of the application of an individual space-time activity-based model (ISTAM) to the simulation of the transmission of infectious disease in Eemnes, a city in The Netherlands. Four questions were addressed: (i) how to build the whole population at the city level, (ii) how to build the structure of the activity bundles for the city, (iii) how to assign daily activity...

Many ubiquitous systems and technologies have been developed as of now. As known the goal of ubiquitous computing is to achieve the wellbeing life. There are four different aspects for achieving ubiquitous computing, namely, they are within the computing paradigm, technical principle, application domain and application space. Nowadays, ubiquitous city (U-city) is the most applicable domain in t...

By adding chaotic noise to each neuron of the discrete-time continuous-output Hopfield neural network (HNN) and gradually reducing the noise, a chaotic neural network is proposed so that it is initially chaotic but eventually convergent, and, thus, has richer and more flexible dynamics compared to the HNN. The proposed network is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP) and that results ...

We prove the Wigner-Dyson-Mehta conjecture at fixed energy in the bulk of the spectrum for generalized symmetric and Hermitian Wigner matrices. Previous results concerning the universality of random matrices either require an averaging in the energy parameter or they hold only for Hermitian matrices if the energy parameter is fixed. We develop a homogenization theory of the Dyson Brownian motio...
