论文摘要
表征二维地形的最大挑战之一是简洁地传达当地配置的主导性质。在由Bistate单元组成的二维网格中，这可以表示为找到特征性构型变量，例如最近的邻居对和三重态组合。 2-D群集变异方法（CVM）为将一组配置变量与仅两个参数相关联的理论框架，用于自由能平衡的系统。这项工作提出了一种确定哪些可能的两参数组中的哪些方法为给定的二维地形提供了``最合适''匹配，这是根据用于变异推理的方法的。 这项特定的工作仅着眼于激活焓参数（EPSILON_0）为零的地形，因此两个状态之间的分布是均衡的。使用此条件是因为，当两个状态均衡时，就有一个分析解决方案将配置变量值作为H值的函数，在其中，我们根据相互作用的焓参数（EPSILON_1）将H定义为H = exp（2*EPSILON_1）。这允许将以计算为标准的配置变量值与给定H值的分析预测值进行比较。 使用从三个不同自然出现的黑白地形图得出的四种模式来说明该方法，每个模式都符合设备性标准。 我们取得了预期的结果，也就是说，随着模式从相对较少的类似类似的节点数量到增加类似Near样质量的发展，每个相应的自由能最小化模型的H值也会增加。此外，（自由能最小化）模型模式的相应配置变量值与分析预测的值近似对齐。
One of the biggest challenges in characterizing 2-D topographies is succinctly communicating the dominant nature of local configurations. In a 2-D grid composed of bistate units, this could be expressed as finding the characteristic configuration variables such as nearest-neighbor pairs and triplet combinations. The 2-D cluster variation method (CVM) provides a theoretical framework for associating a set of configuration variables with only two parameters, for a system that is at free energy equilibrium. This work presents a method for determining which of many possible two-parameter sets provides the ``most suitable'' match for a given 2-D topography, drawing from methods used for variational inference. This particular work focuses exclusively on topographies for which the activation enthalpy parameter (epsilon_0) is zero, so that the distribution between two states is equiprobable. This condition is used since, when the two states are equiprobable, there is an analytic solution giving the configuration variable values as functions of the h-value, where we define h in terms of the interaction enthalpy parameter (epsilon_1) as h = exp(2*epsilon_1). This allows the computationally-achieved configuration variable values to be compared with the analytically-predicted values for a given h-value. The method is illustrated using four patterns derived from three different naturally-occurring black-and-white topographies, where each pattern meets the equiprobability criterion. We achieve expected results, that is, as the patterns progress from having relatively low numbers of like-near-like nodes to increasing like-near-like masses, the h-values for each corresponding free energy-minimized model also increase. Further, the corresponding configuration variable values for the (free energy-minimized) model patterns are in approximate alignment with the analytically-predicted values.
