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.}, Doi = {10.1201/9780429492846}, Key = {fds339294} } @article{fds359517, Author = {Anderson, PW and Thouless, DJ and Palmer, RG}, Title = {Solution of ‘solvable model of a spin glass’}, Pages = {522-530}, Booktitle = {Career In Theoretical Physics, A (2nd Edition)}, Year = {2005}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9789812567154}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/9789812567154_0040}, Abstract = {The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of a spin glass is solved by a mean field technique which is probably exact in the limit of infinite range interactions.

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.}, Doi = {10.1037/0033-295x.110.1.126}, Key = {fds247649} } @article{fds247651, Author = {LeBaron, B and Arthur, WB and Palmer, R}, Title = {Time series properties of an artificial stock market}, Journal = {Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control}, Volume = {23}, Number = {9-10}, Pages = {1487-1516}, Publisher = {Elsevier BV}, Year = {1999}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s0165-1889(98)00081-5}, 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.}, Doi = {10.1016/s0165-1889(98)00081-5}, Key = {fds247651} } @article{fds247652, Author = {Palmer, RG and Adler, J}, Title = {Ground states for large samples of two-dimensional Ising spin glasses}, Journal = {International Journal of Modern Physics C}, Volume = {10}, Number = {4}, Pages = {667-675}, Publisher = {World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt}, Year = {1999}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S0129183199000504}, Abstract = {We have developed a combinatoric matching method to find the exact groundstate energy for the 2-D Ising spin glass with the ±J distribution and equal numbers of positive and negative bonds.

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.

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.}, Doi = {10.1037/0033-295x.100.2.320}, Key = {fds247621} } @booklet{Stein90, Author = {Stein, DL and Doering, CR and Plamer, RG and Van Hemmen and JL and McLaughlin, RM}, Title = {Escape over a fluctuating barrier: The white noise limit}, Journal = {Journal of Physics A: General Physics}, Volume = {23}, Number = {5}, Pages = {L203-L208}, Publisher = {IOP Publishing}, Year = {1990}, Month = {December}, ISSN = {0305-4470}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:A1990CT35800004&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Abstract = {The authors examine the problem of diffusion over a fluctuating barrier in the limit where the barrier fluctuations are extremely fast compared with all other timescales in the problem.

In the short-time regime the relaxation follows a stretched exponential law; in the intermediate-time regime there is a t behaviour; and in the long-time regime the relaxation is exponential. In the intermediate- and long-time regimes the results agree well with the theoretical results of Brummelhuis and Hilhorst (1988).

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. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.}, Doi = {10.1080/00018738200101438}, Key = {Palmer82} } @booklet{Bantilan81, Author = {Bantilan, FT and Palmer, RG}, Title = {Magnetic properties of a model spin glass and the failure of linear response theory}, Journal = {Journal of Physics F: Metal Physics}, Volume = {11}, Number = {1}, Pages = {261-266}, Publisher = {IOP Publishing}, Year = {1981}, Month = {December}, ISSN = {0305-4608}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0305-4608/11/1/026}, Abstract = {Zero-temperature computer simulations are reported for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick random Ising model of a spin glass, including an external field.
