The need to calibrate increasingly complex statistical models requires a persistent effort for further advances on available, computationally intensive Monte-Carlo methods. We study here an advanced version of familiar Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) algorithms that sample from target...

In this article, we prove that Dirac brackets for Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian constrained systems can be derived recursively. We then study the applicability of that formulation in analysis of some interesting physical models. Particular attention is paid to the feasibility of implementation...

We give a closer look at the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) behavior in quasi-stationary states of the Hamiltonian Mean Field model, a paradigmatic one for long-range-interacting classical many-body systems. We present new calculations which show that, following their time evolution, we can observe...

Numerical experiments with the standard map at high values of the stochasticity parameter reveal the existence of simple analytical relations connecting the volume and the dynamical temperature of the chaotic component of the phase space.

We discuss the non-Boltzmannian nature of quasi-stationary states in the Hamiltonian mean field (HMF) model, a paradigmatic model for long-range interacting classical many-body systems. We present a theorem excluding the Boltzmann–Gibbs exponential weight in Gibbs Γ-space of microscopic...

We show that the quasi-stationary states of homogeneous (zero magnetization) states observed in the N-particle dynamics of the Hamiltonian mean-field (HMF) model are nothing but Vlasov stable homogeneous states. There is an infinity of Vlasov stable homogeneous states corresponding to different...

We discuss the role of the initial conditions for the dynamical anomalies observed in the quasi-stationary states of the Hamiltonian mean field (HMF) model.

We discuss the glassy dynamics recently found in the meta-equilibrium quasi-stationary states (QSS) of the HMF model. The relevance of the initial conditions and the connection with Tsallis nonextensive thermostatistics is also addressed.

A system of N classical Heisenberg-like rotators, characterized by infinite-range ferromagnetic interactions, is studied numerically within the microcanonical ensemble through a molecular-dynamics approach. Such a model, known as the classical inertial infinite-range-interaction Heisenberg...
