Generalized detailed Fluctuation Theorem under Nonequilibrium Feedback control

It has been shown recently that the Jarzynski equality is generalized under nonequilibrium feedback control [T. Sagawa and M. Ueda, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 104}, 090602 (2010)]. The presence of feedback control in physical systems should modify both Jarzynski equality and detailed fluctuation theorem [K. H. Kim and H. Qian, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 75}, 022102 (2007)]. However, the generalized Jarzynski equality under forward feedback control has been proved by consider that the physical systems under feedback control should locally satisfies the detailed fluctuation theorem. We use the same formalism and derive the generalized detailed fluctuation theorem under nonequilibrium feedback control. It is well known that the exponential average in one direction limits the calculation of precise free energy differences. The knowledge of measurements from both directions usually gives improved results. In this aspect, the generalized detailed fluctuation theorem can be very useful in free energy calculations for system driven under nonequilibrium feedback control.

A growth walk model for estimating the canonical partition function of Interacting Self Avoiding Walk

We have explained in detail why the canonical partition function of Interacting Self Avoiding Walk (ISAW), is exactly equivalent to the configurational average of the weights associated with growth walks, such as the Interacting Growth Walk (IGW), if the average is taken over the entire genealogical tree of the walk. In this context, we have shown that it is not always possible to factor the the density of states out of the canonical partition function if the local growth rule is temperature-dependent. We have presented Monte Carlo results for IGWs on a diamond lattice in order to demonstrate that the actual set of IGW configurations available for study is temperature-dependent even though the weighted averages lead to the expected thermodynamic behavior of Interacting Self Avoiding Walk (ISAW).

Flat Energy histogram version for Interacting Growth Walk

Interacting Growth Walks is a recently proposed stochastic model for studying the coil-globule transition of linear polymers. We propose a flat energy histogram version for Interacting Growth Walk. We demonstrate the algorithm on two dimensional square and triangular lattices by calculating the density of energy states of Interacting Self Avoiding Walks.

Coil-Globule transition of a single short polymer chain - an exact enumeration study

We present an exact enumeration study of short SAWs in two as well as three dimensions that addresses the question, `what is the shortest walk for which the existence of all the three phases - coil, globule and the {\it theta} - could be demonstrated'. Even though we could easily demonstrate the coil and the globule phases from Free Energy considerations, we could demonstrate the existence of a {\it theta} phase only by using a scaling form for the distribution of gyration radius. That even such short walks have a scaling behavior is an unexpected result of this work.
