Journal ArticleDOI

Frenet algorithm for simulations of fluctuating continuous elastic filaments.

TL;DR: An algorithm for generating the equilibrium configurations of fluctuating continuous elastic filaments is presented, based on a combination of statistical mechanics and differential geometry, and it is shown that volume interactions can be incorporated into the algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoexcited quantum wells: Nonlinear screening, bistability, and negative differential capacitance.

TL;DR: Case studies show that nonlinearities in the carrier-density dependence of the energy spectrum and scattering times can lead to bistability and negative differential capacitance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative steady states in ecological networks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem in the limit of weak competition and large variance and show that the number of SUs corresponds to the maximum cliques in an Erdos-Renyi network, unless the network is completely asymmetric.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion-limited aggregation and viscous fingering in a wedge: Evidence for a critical angle

TL;DR: In this article, both analytic and numerical evidence points to the existence of a critical angle of h'60° -70° in viscous fingers and diffusion-limited aggregates growing in a wedge.
