Constructing partial prior specifications for models of complex physical systems. (1998)
Journal Article
Craig, P., Goldstein, M., Seheult, A., & Smith, J. (1998). Constructing partial prior specifications for models of complex physical systems. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series D, The statistician, 47(1), 37-53. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9884.00115

Many large scale problems, particularly in the physical sciences, are solved using complex, high dimensional models whose outputs, for a given set of inputs, are expensive and time consuming to evaluate. The complexity of such problems forces us to f... Read More about Constructing partial prior specifications for models of complex physical systems..

Integrable systems admitting topological solitons. (1998)
Journal Article
Ward, R., & Winn, A. (1998). Integrable systems admitting topological solitons. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 31(13), L261-L266. https://doi.org/10.1088/0305-4470/31/13/003

We discuss (1 + 1)-dimensional sigma models and Heisenberg models in which the target space has the topology of a cylinder. In these integrable systems, the solutions are classified by a winding number.

On local behaviour of the phase separation line in the 2D Ising model (1998)
Journal Article
Hryniv, O. (1998). On local behaviour of the phase separation line in the 2D Ising model. Probability Theory and Related Fields, 110(1), 91-107. https://doi.org/10.1007/s004400050146

The aim of this note is to discuss some statistical properties of the phase separation line in the 2D low-temperature Ising model. We prove the functional central limit theorem for the probability distributions describing fluctuations of the phase bo...

Entropy bounds for endomorphisms commuting with K actions (1998)
Journal Article
Morris, G., & Ward, T. (1998). Entropy bounds for endomorphisms commuting with K actions. Israel Journal of Mathematics, 106(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02773458

Shereshevsky has shown that a shift-commuting homeomorphism from the two-dimensional full shift to itself cannot be expansive, and asked if such a homeomorphism can have finite positive entropy. We formulate an algebraic analogue of this problem, and... Read More about Entropy bounds for endomorphisms commuting with K actions.
