Does a Simple Lattice Protein Folding Model Exhibit Self-Organized Criticality?
Proteins are known to fold into tertiary structures that determine their functionality in living organisms. However, the way they consistently fold to the same structure is unknown. Our research sees if the folding process can be viewed computationally through the lens of self-organized criticality using a simple lattice-bound protein
On the initial value problem of a periodic box-ball system
We show that the initial value problem of a periodic box-ball system can be
solved in an elementary way using simple combinatorial methods.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Correlation function for a periodic box-ball system
We investigate correlation functions in a periodic box-ball system. For the
two point functions of short distance, we give explicit formulae obtained by
combinatorial methods. We give expressions for general N-point functions in
terms of ultradiscrete theta functions.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, submitted to J. Phys. A: Math. Theo
A crystal theoretic method for finding rigged configurations from paths
The Kerov--Kirillov--Reshetikhin (KKR) bijection gives one to one
correspondences between the set of highest paths and the set of rigged
configurations. In this paper, we give a crystal theoretic reformulation of the
KKR map from the paths to rigged configurations, using the combinatorial R and
energy functions. This formalism provides tool for analysis of the periodic
box-ball systems.Comment: 24 pages, version for publicatio
