DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2017.05.001
Abstract: The linguist George Kingsley Zipf made a now classic observation about the relationship between a word's length and its frequency; the more frequent a word is, the shorter it tends to be. He claimed that… read more here.

Neural Network for Principle of Least Action
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling"
DOI: 10.1021/acs.jcim.2c00515
Abstract: The principle of least action is the cornerstone of classical mechanics, theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. Here, we describe how a neural network (NN) learns to find the trajectory for a Lennard-Jones (LJ)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1464419320975301
Abstract: Redundancy in the constrained mechanical systems often occurs in complex multibody mechanic systems in the existence of excessive constraints and singular positions due to system motion. In this work, Gauss principle of least constraint (GPLC)… read more here.

A System-Independent Derivation of Preferential Attachment from the Principle of Least Effort
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Entropy"
DOI: 10.3390/e25020305
Abstract: Preferential attachment (PA) is a widely observed behavior in many living systems and has been used in modeling many networks. The aim of this work is to show that the mechanism of PA is a… read more here.
