Dynamical Frustration in ANNNI Model and Annealing
Simulated annealing is usually applied to systems with frustration, like spin glasses and optimisation problems, where the energy landscape is...

Equivalence of Fuzzy Subgroups of Finite Abelian Groups
In this chapter, we determine the number of fuzzy subgroups of certain finite Abelian groups with respect to a suitable equivalence relation. This is...

Lattices of Fuzzy Subgroups
Many results concerning relationships between classes of crisp subsets can be carried over to similar relationships between classes of fuzzy subsets....

Exploring Complex Landscapes with Classical Monte Carlo
Nowadays, the annealing concept is useful in (at least) two different fields, namely Physics and Optimization. The annealing strategy was well known...

Lyapunov Functions and Feedback in Nonlinear Control
The method of Lyapunov functions plays a central role in the study of the controllability and stabilizability of control systems. For nonlinear...
