That equation acts as a kind of machine for processing the raw data of initial conditions for a system of particles—its precise set of positions and velocities at any given moment, along with ...

And, as he discovered, even small differences in the initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes. The eureka moment came when Lorenz tried to rerun a computer weather simulation but ...

Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate This paper provides some practical advice on establishing initial conditions in ...

Researchers from China, the UK and Singapore have demonstrated for the first time that choosing the right set of initial conditions can speed up the relaxation process in quantum systems. Their ...

The postulate of a final quantum cosmological condition provides a novel explanation that requires no new physics. Ever since Newton, time evolution in physics has been understood as an initial ...
