We introduce a Monte Carlo method for the simulation of spin models with ferromagnetic long-range interactions in which the amount of time per spin-flip operation is independent of the system size, in spite of the fact that the interactions between each spin and all other spins are taken into account. We work out two algorithms for the q-state Potts model and discuss the generalization to systems with other interactions and to O(n) models. We illustrate the method with a simulation of the mean-field Ising model, for which we have also analytically calculated the leading finite-size correction to the dimensionless amplitude ratio [m(2)](2)/[m(4)] at the critical temperature.

Mobile crowdsensing (MCS), which is a grassroots sensing paradigm that utilizes the idea of crowdsourcing, has attracted the attention of academics. More and more researchers have devoted themselves to adopting MCS in space-air-ground-sea integrated networks (SAGSINs). Given the dynamics of the environmental conditions in SAGSINs and the uncertainty of the sensing capabilities of mobile people, the quality and coverage of the sensed data change periodically. To address this issue, we propose a novel UAV-assisted cluster-based task allocation (UCTA) algorithm for MCS in SAGSINs in a two-stage process. We first introduce the edge nodes and establish a three-layer hierarchical system with UAV-assistance, called "Platform-Edge cluster-Participants". Moreover, an edge-aided attribute-based cluster algorithm is designed, aiming at organizing tasks into clusters, which significantly diminishes both the communication overhead and computational complexity while enhancing the efficiency of task allocation. Subsequently, a greedy selection algorithm is proposed to select the final combination that performs the sensing task in each cluster. Extensive simulations are conducted comparing the developed algorithm with the other three benchmark algorithms, and the experimental results unequivocally endorse the superiority of our proposed UCTA algorithm.

Mining-induced seismicity is one of the most dangerous physical phenomenon's accompanying coal and ore extraction in underground mines and often resulting in rock burst. In many cases, this seismicity can be grouped together, forming spatial clusters of events related to some structures in mines such as faults or pillars. However, as shown in this paper, the usual seismicity in coal mines is mainly related to current mining process and there are no distinct spatial or temporal groups of seismic events, but rather they form continuous cloud of events related to mining activity. Therefore, we introduce new spatio-temporal metric together with Ward's minimum variance method to obtain hierarchical clustering analysis of mining-induced seismicity. Constructing metric in this way made it possible to assess seismic hazard concurrently in space and time. The clustering method is utilized to a case study of mining-induced seismicity from coal mine with high seismic hazard and where high energy mainshock occurred. In each cluster, magnitude distribution of seismic activity is calculated, showing in some cases, a significant departure from Gutenberg-Richter distribution of seismic events, which can be important in seismic hazard analysis. As a measure of accuracy of each cluster locations we have introduced bootstrapping procedure. We have shown that location errors of seismic activity affect each cluster center location of the order of a few tens of meters. The presented cluster analysis of mining seismicity provides new measures to determine group of seismic sources and high stressed areas in the rock mass in mines allowing for determination of seismic and rockburst hazard.

This paper presents a cluster Monte Carlo method suitable for both, the first- and the second-order phase transitions in the 3D Ashkin-Teller (AT) model. A cluster algorithm is necessary to verify correctness of the results obtained so far using Metropolis algorithm exhibiting significant critical slowing down. Moreover, metastable states have recently been investigated in this model which can affect the results, especially obtained using the Metropolis algorithm. Our Wolff type algorithm is described and its dynamic critical behavior is demonstrated. Our computer experiments exploit the properties of Binder and Challa cumulants and additionally the one proposed by Lee and Kosterlitz, the last two adapted by us to give clear results for the AT model. The energy distribution histogram method is also independently applied for the first time for the 3D AT model using the Wolff type algorithm. For validation of the previous results and of our algorithm, it is demonstrated that the results of our computations along the line between Ising and Potts points, which are resealed to their thermodynamic limits, are consistent with those obtained using the Metropolis algorithm. It is also shown that the presented cluster algorithm of the Wolff type significantly reduces the problem of critical slowing down for the 3D AT model, and the dynamic critical exponent reaches values close to zero. As the best strategy, it is suggested to use the cluster algorithm in the critical region and the Metropolis one beyond.

Background: cluster analysis is often used to infer regulatory modules or biological function by associating unknown genes with other genes that have similar expression patterns and known regulatory elements or functions. However, clustering results may not have any biological relevance. Results: We applied various clustering algorithms to microarray datasets with different sizes, and we evaluated the clustering results by determining the fraction of gene pairs from the same clusters that share at least one known common transcription factor. We used both yeast transcription factor databases (SCPD, YPD) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) data to evaluate our clustering results. We showed that the ability to identify co-regulated genes from clustering results is strongly dependent on the number of microarray experiments used in cluster analysis and the accuracy of these associations plateaus at between 50 and 100 experiments on yeast data. Moreover, the model-based clustering algorithm MCLUST consistently outperforms more traditional methods in accurately assigning co-regulated genes to the same clusters on standardized data. Conclusions: Our results are consistent with respect to independent evaluation criteria that strengthen our confidence in our results. However, when one compares ChIP data to YPD, the false-negative rate is approximately 80% using the recommended p-value of 0.001. In addition, we showed that even with large numbers of experiments, the false-positive rate may exceed the true-positive rate. In particular, even when all experiments are included, the best results produce clusters with only a 28% true-positive rate using known gene transcription factor interactions.

We generalize the Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) cluster representation of the partition function of the Ising model to represent the partition function of quantum spin models with an arbitrary spin magnitude in arbitrary dimensions. This generalized representation enables us to develop a new cluster algorithm for the simulation of quantum spin systems by the worldline Monte Carlo method. Because the Swendsen-Wang algorithm is based on the FK representation, the new cluster algorithm naturally includes it as a special case. As well as the general description of the new representation, we present an illustration of our new algorithm for some special interesting cases: the Ising model, the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with S=1, and a general Heisenberg model. The new algorithm is applicable to models with any range of the exchange interaction, any lattice geometry, and any dimensions.

Background: Handling genotype data typed at hundreds of thousands of loci is very time-consuming and it is no exception for population structure inference. Therefore, we propose to apply PCA to the genotype data of a population, select the significant principal components using the Tracy-Widom distribution, and assign the individuals to one or more subpopulations using generic clustering algorithms. Results: We investigated K-means, soft K-means and spectral clustering and made comparison to STRUCTURE, a model-based algorithm specifically designed for population structure inference. Moreover, we investigated methods for predicting the number of subpopulations in a population. The results on four simulated datasets and two real datasets indicate that our approach performs comparably well to STRUCTURE. For the simulated datasets, STRUCTURE and soft K-means with BIC produced identical predictions on the number of subpopulations. We also showed that, for real dataset, BIC is a better index than likelihood in predicting the number of subpopulations. Conclusion: Our approach has the advantage of being fast and scalable, while STRUCTURE is very time-consuming because of the nature of MCMC in parameter estimation. Therefore, we suggest choosing the proper algorithm based on the application of population structure inference.

In this talk, we briefly comment on Sweeny and Gliozzi methods. cluster Monte Carlo method, and recent transition matrix Monte Carlo for Potts models. We mostly concentrate on a new algorithm known as 'binary tree summation'. Some of the most interesting features of this method will be highlighted-such as simulating fractional number of Potts states, as well as offering the partition function and thermodynamic quantities as functions of temperature in a single run.
