ABSTRACTThe experimental fact that measured elastic and structural properties of superlattices are strongly correlated can be understood on the basis of a simple model based on the packing of hard spheres. The model is consistent with features of many models that have been proposed to explain the supermodulus effect, but contrary to previous explanations, it allows predictions for a given pair of constituents to be made. For an arbitrary pair of elements, it predicts the existence or non-existence of an elastic anomaly, and a rough estimate of its magnitude.

Structures of Van der Waals complexes are predicted by a simple model based on electrostatic interaction between the monomers. Point multipoles are assigned to the atoms and embedded in hard spheres to represent short-range repulsions. Structures deduced for some 29 complexes are in agreement with experiment, and numerous predictions are made.

The main components of case-based reasoning are case retrieval and case reuse. While case retrieval mostly uses attribute comparisons, many other possibilities exist. The case similarity concepts described in the literature that are based on more elaborate structural properties are classified here into five groups: restricted geometric relationships; graphs; semantic nets; model-based similarities; hierarchically structured similarities. Some general topics conclude this survey on structure-based case retrieval methods and systems.

In common-interest stochastic games all players receive an identical payoff. Players participating in such games must learn to coordinate with each other in order to receive the highest-possible value. A number of reinforcement learning algorithms have been proposed for this problem, and some have been shown to converge to good solutions in the limit. In this paper we show that using very simple model-based algorithms, much better (i.e., polynomial) convergence rates can be attained. Moreover, our model-based algorithms are guaranteed to converge to the optimal value, unlike many of the existing algorithms.

We compare two hydrodynamic calculations of thermonuclear runaways in material accreted by a 1M⊙ white dwarf of initial luminosity 10−3L⊙. In both cases the CNO abundances are taken to be near solar (ZCNO = 0.014). The only difference between the calculations is that in one sequence of models (seq.B) the additional energy generation due to the interaction between the expanding nova envelope and a close red dwarf companion is allowed for, using a simple model based on that of Paczynski (1976).

To deal with syntactic structure, one needs to go beyond a simple model based on associative structures, and to adopt a dynamical systems perspective, where each phrase and sentence of a language is represented as a trajectory in a syntactic phase space. Neural assemblies could possibly be used to produce dynamics that in principle could handle syntax along these lines.
