Optimal Item Placement for Information Retrieval in Stochastic Paired Comparison Models Under Special Comparison Structures

Paired comparison models are examined from the perspective of the placement of objects within specific comparison structures. For both pairwise comparison matrix-based models and stochastic models, previous studies have examined which comparison structures maximize the amount of...

Thermodynamic and structural behavior of one-dimensional divalent patchy hard rods: Wertheim’s first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory vs exact results

We investigate the thermodynamic and structural properties of divalent patchy hard rods confined to a one-dimensional channel by modeling the bonding sites as attractive square-well (SW) patches located at the rod tips. The zero-range sticky limit is recovered by letting the well...
