Here we rigorously prove that, if we normalize the energy in such a way that the energy of the homogeneous state is zero, then the ratio e 0(J)/e S(J) tends to 1 as J → Jc -, with e S(J) being the energy per site of the optimal periodic striped/slabbed state and e 0(J) the actual ground state energy per site of the system. Our proof comes with explicit bounds on the difference e 0(J)-e S(J) at small but positive J c-J, and also shows that in this parameter range the ground state is striped/slabbed in a certain sense: namely, if one looks at a randomly chosen window, of suitable size ℓ (very large compared to the optimal stripe size h(J)), one finds a striped/slabbed state with high probability."}],"file_date_updated":"2022-05-24T08:30:40Z","has_accepted_license":"1","date_published":"2014-10-01T00:00:00Z","ddc":["510"],"article_type":"original","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00220-014-1923-2","page":"333 - 350","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"RoSe"}],"volume":331,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"10","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:54:48Z","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","publication":"Communications in Mathematical Physics","author":[{"first_name":"Alessandro","full_name":"Giuliani, Alessandro","last_name":"Giuliani"},{"first_name":"Élliott","last_name":"Lieb","full_name":"Lieb, Élliott"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-6781-0521","first_name":"Robert","full_name":"Seiringer, Robert","id":"4AFD0470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Seiringer"}],"title":"Formation of stripes and slabs near the ferromagnetic transition","oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1432-0916"],"issn":["0010-3616"]},"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1007/s00220-014-1923-2"},{"article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:54:48Z","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"name":"Limits to selection in biology and in evolutionary computation","_id":"25B07788-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FP7","grant_number":"250152"}],"publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":25,"department":[{"_id":"NiBa"}],"page":"487 - 495","month":"02","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1093/beheco/aru002","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4014306/"}],"oa":1,"title":"An arms race between producers and scroungers can drive the evolution of social cognition","scopus_import":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Michal","last_name":"Arbilly","full_name":"Arbilly, Michal"},{"full_name":"Weissman, Daniel","id":"2D0CE020-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Weissman","first_name":"Daniel"},{"last_name":"Feldman","full_name":"Feldman, Marcus","first_name":"Marcus"},{"first_name":"Uri","full_name":"Grodzinski, Uri","last_name":"Grodzinski"}],"publication":"Behavioral Ecology","intvolume":"        25","issue":"3","external_id":{"isi":["000336486100012"]},"oa_version":"Submitted Version","status":"public","_id":"1936","publisher":"Oxford University Press","citation":{"ama":"Arbilly M, Weissman D, Feldman M, Grodzinski U.

It is usually invoked in the context of challenges arising from complex intragroup structures, hierarchies, and alliances. However, a fundamental aspect of group living remains largely unexplored as a driving force in cognitive evolution: the competition between individuals searching for resources (producers) and conspecifics that parasitize their findings (scroungers). In populations of social foragers, abilities that enable scroungers to steal by outsmarting producers, and those allowing producers to prevent theft by outsmarting scroungers, are likely to be beneficial and may fuel a cognitive arms race. Using analytical theory and agent-based simulations, we present a general model for such a race that is driven by the producer-scrounger game and show that the race's plausibility is dramatically affected by the nature of the evolving abilities. If scrounging and scrounging avoidance rely on separate, strategy-specific cognitive abilities, arms races are short-lived and have a limited effect on cognition. However, general cognitive abilities that facilitate both scrounging and scrounging avoidance undergo stable, long-lasting arms races. Thus, ubiquitous foraging interactions may lead to the evolution of general cognitive abilities in social animals, without the requirement of complex intragroup structures.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345"},{"date_published":"2014-11-01T00:00:00Z","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00220-014-2120-z","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","abstract":[{"text":"We prove the edge universality of the beta ensembles for any β ≥ 1, provided that the limiting spectrum is supported on a single interval, and the external potential is C4 and regular.

On the Galápagos Islands, the invasive parasitic fly Philornis downsi poses a major threat to the endemic avifauna. Here, we investigated the influence of this parasite on the breeding success of two Darwin's finch species, the warbler finch (Certhidea olivacea) and the sympatric small tree finch (Camarhynchus parvulus), on Santa Cruz Island in 2010 and 2012. While the population of the small tree finch appeared to be stable, the warbler finch has experienced a dramatic decline in population size on Santa Cruz Island since 1997. We aimed to identify whether warbler finches are particularly vulnerable during different stages of the breeding cycle. Contrary to our prediction, breeding success was lower in the small tree finch than in the warbler finch. In both species P. downsi had a strong negative impact on breeding success and our data suggest that heavy rain events also lowered the fledging success. On the one hand parents might be less efficient in compensating their chicks' energy loss due to parasitism as they might be less efficient in foraging on days of heavy rain. On the other hand, intense rainfalls might lead to increased humidity and more rapid cooling of the nests. In the case of the warbler finch we found that the control of invasive plant species with herbicides had a significant additive negative impact on the breeding success. It is very likely that the availability of insects (i.e. food abundance) is lower in such controlled areas, as herbicide usage led to the removal of the entire understory. Predation seems to be a minor factor in brood loss.","lang":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:34Z","date_published":"2014-09-23T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","ddc":["576"],"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0107518"},{"external_id":{"arxiv":["1404.0843"]},"intvolume":"       146","file":[{"file_id":"5260","file_size":100115,"date_created":"2018-12-12T10:17:08Z","file_name":"IST-2018-952-v1+1_2014_Rubin_First_cycle.pdf","access_level":"open_access","checksum":"4d7b4ab82980cca2b96ac7703992a8c8","relation":"main_file","creator":"system","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:35Z"}],"_id":"475","status":"public","oa_version":"Published Version","arxiv":1,"day":"01","publisher":"Open Publishing Association","citation":{"ieee":"B.

We exhibit a simple FCG that is not memoryless determined (this corrects a mistake in Memoryless determinacy of parity and mean payoff games: a simple proof by Bj⋯orklund, Sandberg, Vorobyov (2004) that claims that FCGs for which Y is closed under cyclic permutations are memoryless determined). We show that θ (n)! memory (where n is the number of nodes in the graph), which is always sufficient, may be necessary to win some FCGs. On the other hand, we identify easy to check conditions on Y (i.e., Y is closed under cyclic permutations, and both Y and its complement are closed under concatenation) that are sufficient to ensure that the corresponding FCGs and their associated infinite duration games are memoryless determined. We demonstrate that many games considered in the literature, such as mean-payoff, parity, energy, etc., satisfy these conditions. On the complexity side, we show (for efficiently computable Y) that while solving FCGs is in PSPACE, solving some families of FCGs is PSPACE-hard.

Despite mounting evidence that multigenerational effects alter phenotypic and life-history traits, our understanding of how they combine to determine fitness is not well developed because of the added complexity necessary to study them. Here, we derive a quantitative genetic model of adaptation to an extraordinary new environment by an additive genetic component, phenotypic plasticity, maternal and grandmaternal effects. We show how, at equilibrium, negative maternal and negative grandmaternal effects maximize expected population mean fitness. We define negative transgenerational effects as those that have a negative effect on trait expression in the subsequent generation, that is, they slow, or potentially reverse, the expected evolutionary dynamic. When maternal effects are positive, negative grandmaternal effects are preferred. As expected under Mendelian inheritance, the grandmaternal effects have a lower impact on fitness than the maternal effects, but this dual inheritance model predicts a more complex relationship between maternal and grandmaternal effects to constrain phenotypic variance and so maximize expected population mean fitness in the offspring.","lang":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:38Z","date_updated":"2025-09-29T13:17:53Z","publist_id":"7280","ddc":["530","571"],"has_accepted_license":"1","date_published":"2014-07-19T00:00:00Z","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1150","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"month":"07","page":"3139 - 3145","volume":4,"department":[{"_id":"NiBa"},{"_id":"GaTk"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"pubrep_id":"934","publication_status":"published","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:02Z","article_processing_charge":"No","publication":"Ecology and Evolution","author":[{"full_name":"Prizak, Roshan","last_name":"Prizak","id":"4456104E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Roshan"},{"full_name":"Ezard, Thomas","last_name":"Ezard","first_name":"Thomas"},{"first_name":"Rebecca","last_name":"Hoyle","full_name":"Hoyle, Rebecca"}],"scopus_import":"1","title":"Fitness consequences of maternal and grandmaternal effects","oa":1,"doi":"10.1002/ece3.1150","type":"journal_article"},{"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT:IST-2014-148-v2-1","has_accepted_license":"1","date_published":"2014-01-28T00:00:00Z","ddc":["000"],"abstract":[{"text":"Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and hardware testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level specifications. Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components and, due to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort and cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system specifications can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover, inferring properties about the system from testing its individual components allows the designer to reduce the amount of integration testing.\r\nIn this paper, we study compositional properties of the IOCO-testing theory. We propose a new approach to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests. We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus on asynchronous models and the IOCO conformance relation, the resulting methodology can be applied to a broader class of systems.","lang":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:46Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","alternative_title":["IST Austria Technical Report"],"date_updated":"2025-09-29T11:40:47Z","file":[{"creator":"system","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:46Z","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"0e03aba625cc334141a3148432aa5760","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2018-12-12T11:54:21Z","file_size":534732,"file_name":"IST-2014-148-v2+1_main_tr.pdf","file_id":"5543"}],"publisher":"IST Austria","year":"2014","citation":{"short":"P.

In this paper we adapt a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain. The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy (or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of (discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t. inclusion) in the values of parameters.The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring problem can be solved.

The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player 2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player 1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability objectives.

The structure of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs. The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution. The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. The vertices of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual. A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It is defined as the probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex) generates a lineage of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population of resident individuals. The basic computational questions are as follows: (i) the qualitative question asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation question asks for an approximation of the fixation probability. Our main results are: (1) We show that the qualitative question is NP-complete and the quantitative approximation question is #P-hard in the special case when the interaction and the replacement graphs coincide and even with the restriction that the resident individuals do not reproduce (which corresponds to an invading population taking over an empty structure). (2) We show that in general the qualitative question is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative approximation question is PSPACE-hard and can be solved in exponential time.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2023-02-23T12:26:33Z","alternative_title":["IST Austria Technical Report"],"file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:50Z","creator":"system","checksum":"42f3d8b563286eb0d903832bd9a848d3","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","file_name":"IST-2014-190-v2+2_main_full.pdf","date_created":"2018-12-12T11:54:16Z","file_size":443529,"file_id":"5538"},{"file_id":"6852","file_name":"IST-2014-190-v1+1_main_full.pdf","date_created":"2019-09-06T07:30:20Z","file_size":440911,"checksum":"0c9a2fd822309719634495a35957e34d","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:50Z","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"kschuh"}],"day":"18","publisher":"IST Austria","year":"2014","citation":{"short":"K.
