Approaching the ground states of the random maximum two-satisfiability problem by a greedy single-spin flipping process
In this brief report we explore the energy landscapes of two spin glass
models using a greedy single-spin flipping process, {\tt Gmax}. The
ground-state energy density of the random maximum two-satisfiability problem is
efficiently approached by {\tt Gmax}. The achieved energy density
decreases with the evolution time as
with a small prefactor and a scaling coefficient , indicating an
energy landscape with deep and rugged funnel-shape regions. For the
Viana-Bray spin glass model, however, the greedy single-spin dynamics quickly
gets trapped to a local minimal region of the energy landscape.Comment: 5 pages with 4 figures included. Accepted for publication in Physical

Plastic Deformation of 2D Crumpled Wires
When a single long piece of elastic wire is injected trough channels into a
confining two-dimensional cavity, a complex structure of hierarchical loops is
formed. In the limit of maximum packing density, these structures are described
by several scaling laws. In this paper it is investigated this packing process
but using plastic wires which give origin to completely irreversible structures
of different morphology. In particular, it is studied experimentally the
plastic deformation from circular to oblate configurations of crumpled wires,
obtained by the application of an axial strain. Among other things, it is shown
that in spite of plasticity, irreversibility, and very large deformations,
scaling is still observed.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
