Abstract

We present an application of equation-free computation to the coarse-grained feedback linearization problem of nonlinear systems described by microscopic/stochastic simulators. Feedback linearization with pole placement requires the solution of a functional equation involving the macroscopic (coarse-grained) system model. In the absence of such a closed-form model, short, appropriately initialized bursts of microscopic simulation are designed and performed, and their results used to estimate on demand the quantities required for the numerical solution of the (explicitly unavailable) functional equation. Our illustrative example is a kinetic Monte Carlo realization of a simplified heterogeneous catalytic reaction scheme

Dimension-dependent continuum limits in tissue mechanics

Continuum descriptions of epithelial tissue mechanics can replace expensive individual-based simulations with tractable macroscopic models, yet the link between cell-scale forces and tissue-scale transport remains poorly understood. We show that dimensionality controls this link: long-time mechanical relaxation rates reveal generalized porous-media-type nonlinear transport phenomena, $D(ρ)\proptoρ^γ$. Exponents in nonlinear diffusivities are fixed by microscopic mechanics and dimensionality, providing a novel physical mechanism for emergent macroscopic transport phenomena.

Gliders on Aperiodic Monotilings: Cellular Automata on the Hat and Spectre

The hat and spectre monotiles, discovered in 2023, tile the plane only aperiodically; no cellular automaton dynamics on these tilings has previously been reported. Cellular automata are studied here on patches generated by finite-state transducers, so that every experiment regenerates deterministically from a small record. Within edge-adjacency semi-totalistic rules, exhaustive and evolutionary searches find only mortal travelers: gliders are absent. Guided by a reproduction of the known Penrose-tiling glider, the rule space is extended to vertex neighborhoods and to priority-table rules whose non-quiescent states are visible to neighbors. Evolutionary search then discovers gliders on both monotilings; tracked by a sliding window that regenerates the patch along the flight, they travel one million rings at constant speed and heading. All headings are quantized, to millidegrees, onto a six-spoke compass - the fast axes of the tiling's graph metric. An ablation shows both rule-space extensions are individually necessary. All results replay exactly in an accompanying interactive essay.

Diagonal Bases and Diagonal Periods of Elementary Cellular Automata

Which cellular-automaton diagonal families form bases in every finite window? For canonical polynomial lifts of elementary rules, two truth-table bits determine triangularity, and units on the matrix diagonal determine invertibility. Exactly 24 rules give universal binary bases; all remain universal over every modulus. Among triangular binary coordinate maps, the Pascal transform is uniquely characterized by converting OR convolution into pointwise multiplication, while increment becomes strict prefix summation. Explicit inverses and coordinate comparisons distinguish sparsity from evaluation cost. A Rule 30 polynomial construction gives Fibonacci bounds on interpolation order and prime-modulus periods. Exact additive periods anchor a finite census modulo two and three. These results separate all-window basis classification from optimization of a representation and from period patterns observed in finite windows.
