   Abstract = {In recent years a number of methods developed in statistical
             mechanics have been applied to complex optimization
             problems. The results tend to be more in the form of general
             theorems and bounds than specific results for particular
             problems. They are nonetheless interesting, especially for
             the new viewpoints they bring to old problems. These new
             viewpoints, and possibly specific methods, may also prove of
             use in economic problems.},

   Year = {2003},

   Abstract = {Interval timing in operant conditioning is the learned
             covariation of a temporal dependent measure such as wait
             time with a temporal independent variable such as
             fixed-interval duration. The dominant theories of interval
             timing all incorporate an explicit internal clock, or
             "pacemaker," despite its lack of independent evidence. The
             authors propose an alternative, pacemaker-free view that
             demonstrates that temporal discrimination can be explained
             by using only 2 assumptions: (a) variation and selection of
             responses through competition between reinforced behavior
             and all other, elicited, behaviors and (b) modulation of the
             strength of response competition by the memory for recent
             reinforcement. The model departs radically from existing
             timing models: It shows that temporal learning can emerge
             from a simple dynamic process that lacks a periodic time
             reference such as a pacemaker.},

   Abstract = {This paper presents results from an experimental computer
             simulated stock market. In this market artificial
             intelligence algorithms take on the role of traders. They
             make predictions about the future, and buy and sell stock as
             indicated by their expectations of future risk and return.
             Prices are set endogenously to clear the market. Time series
             from this market are analyzed from the standpoint of
             well-known empirical features in real markets. The simulated
             market is able to replicate several of these phenomenon,
             including fundamental and technical predictability,
             volatility persistence, and leptokurtosis. Moreover, agent
             behavior is shown to be consistent with these features, in
             that they condition on the variables that are found to be
             significant in the time series tests. Agents are also able
             to collectively learn a homogeneous rational expectations
             equilibrium for certain parameters giving both time series
             and individual forecast values consistent with the
             equilibrium parameter values.},

             the ±J distribution and equal numbers of positive and
             negative bonds. For the largest size (1800 × 1800
             plaquettes of spins), we averaged results from 278 samples
             and for the smaller ones up to 374, 375 samples. We also
             studied the behavior of the distributions of computer time
             (CPU) and memory as functions of sample size. We present
             finite size scaling leading to a groundstate energy estimate
             of E∞ = -1.40193 ± 2 for the infinite system. We found
             that the memory scales as the square of sample length and
             that for a given size, the CPU time appears to have a skewed

             in addition to the standard statistical error which has been

             arising through correlations in the reweighted samples, and

   Abstract = {The cumulative effects (CE) model explains free-operant
             choice by the ratio of total numbers of responses and
             reinforcements, a probability-like variable. Williams (1994)
             argues that the model is vulnerable to experiments that
             disprove melioration, a local probability model. The authors
             note critical differences between the nonlocal CE model and
             local probability models that allow the CE model to handle
             some data with which they are incompatible. All models are
             simplifications of reality; hence, a model's failures are as
             revealing as its successes. Williams suggests that simple
             models may need to be abandoned in favor of a
             "representational" account. The authors point out that
             representations must be both acquired and acted on.
             Acquisition requires processing of responses and
             reinforcers; action requires decision rules. Models are
             simply testable suggestions for what these rules and
             processes might be.},

   Abstract = {Recurrent choice has been studied for many years. A static
             law, matching, has been established, but there is no
             consensus on the underlying dynamic process. The authors
             distinguish between dynamic models in which the model state
             is identified with directly measurable behavioral properties
             (performance models) and models in which the relation
             between behavior and state is indirect (state models). Most
             popular dynamic choice models are local, performance models.
             The authors show that behavior in different types of
             discrimination-reversal experiments and in extinction is not
             explained by 2 versions of a popular local model and that
             the nonlocal cumulative-effects model is consistent with
             matching and that it can duplicate the major properties of
             recurrent choice in a set of discrimination-reversal
             experiments. The model can also duplicate results from
             several other experiments on extinction after complex
             discrimination training.},

             are free to slide along the axes of a regular lattice but
             cannot interpenetrate. They simulate two-dimensional L*L
             lattices with L=8, 16, 32 and 64 and different number of
             vacancies. Three-dimensional L*L*L lattices with L=4, 8, 16
             and 32 and one vacancy are also studied. They find the
             existence of three time regimes for relaxation towards
             complete disorder, in both two and three dimensions. In the
             short-time regime the relaxation follows a stretched

             Brummelhuis and Hilhorst (1988). The stretched exponential
             behaviour in the short-time regime is a natural consequence
             of the constrained dynamics.},

   Abstract = {Crick and Mitchison have presented a hypothesis for the

             process. We have independently carried out mathematical and
             computer modelling of learning and 'unlearning' in a
             collective neural network of 30-1,000 neurones. The model
             network has a content-addressable memory or 'associative
             memory' which allows it to learn and store many memories. A
             particular memory can be evoked in its entirety when the
             network is stimulated by any adequate-sized subpart of the
             information of that memory. But different memories of the
             same size are not equally easy to recall. Also, when
             memories are learned, spurious memories are also created and
             can also be evoked. Applying an 'unlearning' process,
             similar to the learning processes but with a reversed sign
             and starting from a noise input, enhances the performance of
             the network in accessing real memories and in minimizing
             spurious ones. Although our model was not motivated by
             higher nervous function, our system displays behaviours

   Abstract = {The breakdown of ergodic behaviour is discussed as a general
             phenomenon in condensed matter physics. Broken symmetry is a
             particular case of this broken ergodicity. In a system that
             is non-ergodic on physical timescales the phase point is
             effectively confined in one subregion or component of phase
             space. Theoretical treatments of such systems should compute
             thermal averages over one component at a time. The
             probability distribution of physical properties can then be
             obtained from occurrence probabilities for different
             components, and moments of these distributions may be used
             for predicting the results of typical measurements. A
             two-level statistical mechanics is therefore proposed.
             Various aspects of the breakdown of ergodicity are
             discussed, including: the definition of components;
             mechanisms for the confinement of components; methods for
             computing the properties of one component; the choice of
             occurrence probabilities for different components; and
             average thermodynamic properties of broken ergodicity
             systems. The theory is illustrated by application to
             well-understood systems. It is also applied to the spin
             glass, which is reviewed in some detail. The broken
             ergodicity viewpoint is combined with a suggested
             characterization of the components in a spin glass,
             involving a bifurcation cascade. Together these provide a
             qualitative explanation for the irreversibility signature,
             the long time decays, the apparent failure of linear
             response theory and Maxwell relations, and blocking. ©

   Abstract = {The replica method for random systems is critically
             examined, with particular emphasis on its application to the
             Sherrington-Kirkpatrick solution of a 'solvable' spin glass
             model. The procedure is improved and extended in several
             ways, including the avoidance of steepest descents and a
             reformulation which isolates the thermodynamic limit N to
             infinity . Ideas of analyticity and convexity are employed
             to investigate the two most dubious steps in the replica
             method: the extension from an integer number (n) of replicas
             to real n in the limit n to 0, and the reversal of the
             limits in n and N. The latter step is proved valid for the
             Sherrington-Kirkpatrick problem, while the non-uniqueness of
             the former is held responsible for the unphysical behaviour
             of the result.},

   Abstract = {The properties of nuclear matter and dense neutron-star
             matter are studied by an approach which largely avoids the

             systems from those of laboratory substances such as helium.
