Effects of small perturbations from a liquid-gas coexistence equilibrium (the Maxwell states) is studied for an isothermal (or isentropic) gas-liquid phase transition in a sealed o...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
