Exact propagation of the isolated waves model described by the three coupled nonlinear Maccari’s system with complex structure

In this paper, the three nonlinear Maccari’s-system (TNLMS) which describes how isolated waves are propagated in a finite region of space is studied. New accurate wave solutions of this model are obtained for the first time using the Riccati–Bernoulli Sub-ODE method (RBSOM) that treats the problem for which the balance rule fails. The efficiency of this method for constructing these exact solutions has been demonstrated. The obtained results give an accurate interpretation of the propagation of these isolated waves. With an appropriate values for the physical parameters, some representative wave structures are graphically presented.

Investigating Transformational Complexity: Counting Functions a Region Induces on Another in Elementary Cellular Automata

Over the years, the field of artificial life has attempted to capture significant properties of life in artificial systems. By measuring quantities within such complex systems, the hope is to capture the reasons for the explosion of complexity in living systems. A major effort has been in discrete dynamical systems such as cellular automata, where very few rules lead to high levels of complexity. In this paper, for every elementary cellular automaton, we count the number of ways a finite region can transform an enclosed finite region. We discuss the relation of this count to existing notions of controllability, physical universality, and constructor theory. Numerically, we find that particular sizes of surrounding regions have preferred sizes of enclosed regions on which they can induce more transformations. We also find three particularly powerful rules (90, 105, 150) from this perspective.

Generalized elastic positivity bounds on interacting massive spin-2 theories

We use generalized elastic positivity bounds to constrain the parameter space of multi-field spin-2 effective field theories. These generalized bounds involve inelastic scattering amplitudes between particles with different masses, which contain kinematic singularities even in the t = 0 limit. We apply these bounds to the pseudo-linear spin-2 theory, the cycle spin-2 theory and the line spin-2 theory respectively. For the pseudo-linear theory, we exclude the remaining operators that are unconstrained by the usual elastic positivity bounds, thus excluding all the leading (or highest cutoff) interacting operators in the theory. For the cycle and line theory, our approach also provides new bounds on the Wilson coefficients previously unconstrained, bounding the parameter space in both theories to be a finite region (i.e., every Wilson coefficient being constrained from both sides). To help visualize these finite regions, we sample various cross sections of them and estimate the total volumes.
