Our papers are the official record of our discoveries. They allow others to build on and apply our work. Each paper is the result of many months of research, so we make a special effort to make them clear, beautiful and inspirational, and publish them in leading journals.

    Neurocomputing

    FSF. SheldonAKFCF. Caravelli Physical Review E

    Optimal electronic reservoirs

    Balancing memory from linear components with nonlinearities from memristors optimises the computational capacity of electronic reservoirs.

  • Emergent spatial patterns of coexistence in species-rich plant communities

    Statistical physics

    PVTGGCG. Caldarelli Physical Review E

    Coexistence in diverse ecosystems

    Scale-invariant plant clusters explain the ability for a diverse range of plant species to coexist in ecosystems such as Barra Colorado.

  • Controlling systemic risk: network structures that minimize it and node properties to calculate it

    Financial risk

    SMGCG. CaldarelliVZ Physical Review E

    Risky bank interactions

    Networks where risky banks are mostly exposed to other risky banks have higher levels of systemic risk than those with stable bank interactions.

  • Exact results on high-dimensional linear regression via statistical physics

    Inference

    AMA. MozeikaFAMSFAF. AntenucciACA. Coolen Physical Review E

    Exact linear regression

    Exact methods supersede approximations used in high-dimensional linear regression to find correlations in statistical physics problems.

  • Combinatorics

    Draft

    Biological logics are restricted

    The fraction of logics that are biologically permitted can be bounded and shown to be tiny, which makes inferring them from experiments easier.

  • Geometry

    Physical Review E

    Geometry of discrete space

    A phase transition creates the geometry of the continuum from discrete space, but it needs disorder if it is to have the right metric.

  • Thermodynamics

    Physical Review E

    One-shot statistic

    One-shot analogs of fluctuation-theorem results help unify these two approaches for small-scale, nonequilibrium statistical physics.

  • Neurocomputing

    Physical Review E

    Dynamics of memristors

    Exact equations of motion provide an analytical description of the evolution and relaxation properties of complex memristive circuits.

  • Financial networks

    Physical Review E

    Bipartite trade network

    A new algorithm unveils complicated structures in the bipartite mapping between countries and products of the international trade network.

  • Financial markets

    Physical Review E

    Financial network reconstruction

    Statistical mechanics concepts reconstruct connections between financial institutions and the stock market, despite limited data disclosure.

  • Graph theory

    Physical Review E

    Spectral partitioning

    The spectral density of graph ensembles provides an exact solution to the graph partitioning problem and helps detect community structure.

  • Complex networks

    Physical Review E

    Optimal growth rates

    An extension of the Kelly criterion maximises the growth rate of multiplicative stochastic processes when limited resources are available.

  • Thermodynamics

    Physical Review E

    Optimal heat exchange networks

    Compact heat exchangers can be designed to run at low power if the exchange is concentrated in a crumpled surface fed by a fractal network.

  • Network theory

    Physical Review E

    Communities in networks

    A new tool derived from information theory quantitatively identifies trees, hierarchies and community structures within complex networks.

  • Complex networks

    Physical Review E

    Democracy in networks

    Analysis of the hyperbolicity of real-world networks distinguishes between those which are aristocratic and those which are democratic.

  • Fractals

    Physical Review E

    Structural imperfections

    Fractal structures need very little mass to support a load; but for current designs, this makes them vulnerable to manufacturing errors.

  • Fractals

    Physical Review E

    Gentle loads

    The most efficient load-bearing fractals are designed as big structures under gentle loads, a common situation in aerospace applications.

  • Network theory

    Physical Review E

    Weighted network evolution

    A statistical procedure identifies dominant edges within weighted networks to determine whether a network has reached its steady state.

  • Graph theory

    Physical Review E

    Unbiased randomization

    Unbiased randomisation processes generate sophisticated synthetic networks for modelling and testing the properties of real-world networks.

  • Information theory

    Physical Review E

    Assessing self-assembly

    The information needed to self-assemble a structure quantifies its modularity and explains the prevalence of certain structures over others.

  • Sphere packing

    Physical Review E

    Ever-shrinking spheres

    Techniques from random sphere packing predict the dimension of the Apollonian gasket, a fractal made up of non-overlapping hyperspheres.
