COKTRARY to writers for Library TO INSTRUCTIONS Trends, this article is not a review of recorded thought on the topic at hand (though it is to be hoped that it is “a thoughtful and authoritative paper”). The reason for not following the instructions is that there is very little recorded thought of an analytical or critical nature about this topic. To be sure, two evaluations of state plans exis...

Recurrent networks that have transfer functions that fulfill the Lipschitz continuity with L = 1, may be echo state networks if certain limitations on the recurrent connectivity are applied. Initially it has been shown that it is sufficient if the largest singular value of the recurrent connectivity S is smaller than 1. The main achievement of this paper is a proof under which conditions the ne...

Inverse reinforcement learning is tried to search a reward function based on Markov Decision Process. In the IRL topics, experts produce some good traces to make agents learn and adjust the reward function. But the function is difficult to set in some complicate problems. In this paper, Inverse Reinforcement Learning based on Critical State (IRLCS) is proposed to search a succinct and meaningfu...

We present high resolution measurements of temperature dependence of low frequency ac magnetic susceptibility of superconducting Nb thin film in perpendicular time-varying periodic applied magnetic fields. We map this data, including harmonics, to the ac susceptibility calculated on basis of the complete analytical model of magnetization of thin superconducting disk in critical state. We find a...

... When once the engine shall have been constructed, the difficulty shall ha1)e been reduced to the making out of cards; but as these are merely the translation of algebraical formulae, it will, by means of some simple notations, be easy to consign the execution of them to a workman. Thus, the whole intellectual labour will be limited to the preparation of the formulae, which must be adapted f...

We propose a new form for equations of state (EOS) of thermodynamic systems in the Ising universality class. The new EOS guarantees the correct universality and scaling behavior close to critical points and is formulated in terms of the scaling fields only – unlike the traditional Schofield representation, which uses a parametric form. Close to a critical point, the new EOS expresses the square...

Based on the phase-field total free energy functional and free-end nudged elastic band (NEB) algorithm, a new methodology is developed for finding the saddle-point nucleus in solid-state transformations. Using cubic fi tetragonal transformations in both two and three dimensions as examples, we show that the activation energy and critical nucleus configuration along the minimum energy path (MEP)...
