Avogadro-Scale Engineering: Advancing Form and Function in Statistical-Mechanical Systems

Explore the intersection of statistical mechanics and engineering at the Avogadro scale. Learn about internal configurations and degrees of freedom in macroscopic and microscopic systems. Delve into programming distributed systems and graphical message-passing networks, including the Sum-Product and Belief Propagation methods. Discover insights on loops, approximations, noise-locked loops, CDMA, local search, and global convex optimization. Find solutions through interior point algorithms for semidefinite programs. This comprehensive program covers a range of topics from computer programming to fault-tolerant and developmental programming.
