Abstract

In the present work, a geometrical method to generate a two dimensional random walk by means of a bidimensional Cellular Automaton is presented. We illustrate it by means of Conway's Game of Life with periodical borders, with a large lattice of 3000 x 3000 cells. The obtained random walk is of character anomalous, and its projection to a one dimensional random walk is analyzed, showing that it presents some statistical properties similar to the so-called stylized facts observed in financial time series. We consider that the procedure presented here is important not only because of its simplicity, but also because it could help us to understand and shed light on the stylized facts formation mechanism.

$U(1)$ Gauge-Equivariant Representation Learning of Bloch States

Representation learning, or featurization, of mean-field Bloch states provides an important route for incorporating electronic information into machine-learning models of first-principles condensed-phase systems. A challenge in representing Bloch states is the gauge redundancy of each state. In this work, we propose to address this issue by explicitly incorporating gauge equivariance in the machine-learning framework. We develop a $U(1)$-equivariant autoencoder that compresses the plane-wave-basis Bloch states obtained from density functional theory into a low-dimensional latent representation. We achieve an average overlap of 0.970 between original wavefunctions and the reconstructions from a 64-dimensional latent space using a dataset of two-dimensional insulators. We further show that $U(1)$ equivariance endows the latent space with physically meaningful structures, including smoothness and topological information. Finally, we present a proof-of-principle application in which the latent representations are used to predict the off-diagonal elements of the $GW$ self energy matrix, and demonstrate the importance of enforcing gauge equivariance in the prediction.

Contact-resolved deployment of the Contour Neurovascular System in patient-specific intracranial aneurysms

While intrasaccular flow disruptors are increasingly used to treat wide-necked intracranial aneurysms (IAs), many patient-specific computational workflows prescribe a pre-seated device geometry and omit deployment mechanics. This simplification is particularly restrictive for the Contour Neurovascular System (CNS), for which neck coverage, wall apposition, and post-contact motion depend on the deployment process. To address this, we present a contact-resolved finite-element framework that models CNS deployment within patient-specific IAs. We represent the device as a dual-layer interwoven Nitinol braid using geometrically exact beam models, and the aneurysm wall as a deformable hyperelastic shell. Frictional contact governs wire-wire and wire-wall interactions during staged release. The framework is demonstrated across three patient-specific anatomies. In the reference anatomy, the seated configuration is sensitive to the assumed device-wall tangential friction and to release depth relative to the aneurysm neck plane. Frictionless wall contact permits pronounced post-contact sliding, whereas finite tangential friction strongly suppresses residual pole motion. Release depth alters both the onset of wall engagement and the subsequent deployment path. Geometric placement approaches that prescribe the implanted configuration cannot recover this contact history or the associated wall-supported state. Our framework provides a mechanics-based route to deployed geometries for downstream hemodynamic, fluid-structure interaction, and mechanobiological analyses.

A Physics-Driven Framework for Parametric Periodic-Flow Modeling and Finite-Amplitude Aeroelastic Response Analysis

Periodic unsteady flows are common in forced-motion and fluid-structure interaction problems. Their parametric analysis typically requires repeated high-fidelity simulations, whereas existing reduced-order and surrogate models generally rely on pre-generated flow-field or aerodynamic data. This study proposes a purely physics-driven framework for solving parametric periodic flows and finite-amplitude aeroelastic responses. First, a Periodic Physics-Informed Neural Network (P-PINN) is developed to directly solve periodic flows by imposing temporal periodicity over a single motion cycle, thereby avoiding the need to resolve the long transient evolution preceding the establishment of the periodic state. The flow conditions and motion parameters are further incorporated as network inputs to construct continuous parametric representations of the periodic flow field and aerodynamic forces. On this basis, the parametric aerodynamic model is coupled with the structural dynamic equation through first-order harmonic balance to solve the response amplitude and frequency of a single-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic system. This framework is validated using forced-motion cases of a circular cylinder and an airfoil, demonstrating accurate reproduction of periodic aerodynamic forces, surface load distributions, and instantaneous flow fields under different flow and motion parameters compared with time-marching results. Furthermore, aeroelastic analysis is conducted for an elastically mounted circular cylinder at subcritical Reynolds numbers, and the resulting aeroelastic response agrees well with fully coupled CFD/CSD results. Once trained offline, the parametric model can be repeatedly evaluated for different structural parameter states, enabling the complete aeroelastic response curve to be obtained online within seconds, without repeated long-time fluid-structure interaction time marching.
