Entropy plays a key role in statistical physics of complex systems, which in general exhibit diverse aspects of emergence on different scales. However, it still remains not fully resolved how entropy varies with the coarse-graining level and the description scale. In this paper, we consider a Yule-type growth model, where each element is characterized by its size being either continuous or discrete. Entropy is then defined directly from the probability distribution of the states of all elements as well as from the size distribution of the system. Probing in detail their relations and time evolutions, we find that heterogeneity in addition to correlations between elements could induce loss of information during the coarse-graining procedure. It is also revealed that the expansion of the size space domain depends on the description level, leading to a difference between the continuous description and the discrete one.

We numerically study quenches from a fully ordered state to the ferromagnetic regime of the chiral $mathbb{Z}_3$ clock model, where the physics can be understood in terms of sparse domain walls of six flavors. As in the previously studied models, the
spread of entangled domain wall pairs generated by the quench lead to a linear growth of entropy with time, upto a time $ell/2v_g$ in size-$ell$ subsystems in the bulk where $v_g$ is the maximal group velocity of domain walls. In small subsystems located in the bulk, the entropy continues to further grow towards $ln 3$, as domain walls traverse the subsystem and increment the population of the two oppositely ordered states, restoring the $mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry. The latter growth in entropy is seen also in small subsystems near an open boundary in a non-chiral clock model. In contrast to this, in the case of the chiral model, the entropy of small subsystems near an open boundary saturates. We rationalize the difference in behavior in terms of qualitatively different scattering properties of domain walls at the open boundary in the chiral model. We also present empirical results for entropy growth, correlation spread, and energies of longitudinal-field-induced bound states of domain wall pairs in the chiral model.
We study, both analytically and numerically, the interaction effects on the skewness of the size distribution of elements in a growth model. We incorporate two types of global interaction into the growth model, and develop analytic expressions for th
e first few moments from which the skewness of the size distribution is calculated. It is found that depending on the sign of coupling, interactions may suppress or enhance the size growth, which in turn leads to the decrease or increase of the skewness. The amount of change tends to increase with the coupling strength, rather irrespectively of the details of the model.
Using a recently developed thermodynamic integration method, we compute the precise values of the excess Gibbs free energy (G^e) of the high density liquid (HDL) phase with respect to the crystalline phase at different temperatures (T) in the superco
oled region of the Stillinger-Weber (SW) silicon [F. H. Stillinger and T. A. Weber, Phys. Rev. B. 32, 5262 (1985)]. Based on the slope of G^e with respect to T, we find that the absolute entropy of the HDL phase increases as its enthalpy changes from the equilibrium value at T ge 1065 K to the value corresponding to a non-equilibrium state at 1060 K. We find that the volume distribution in the equilibrium HDL phases become progressively broader as the temperature is reduced to 1060 K, exhibiting van-der-Waals (VDW) loop in the pressure-volume curves. Our results provides insight into the thermodynamic cause of the transition from the HDL phase to the low density phases in SW silicon, observed in earlier studies near 1060 K at zero pressure.
The effect of geometry in the statistics of textit{nonlinear} universality classes for interface growth has been widely investigated in recent years and it is well known to yield a split of them into subclasses. In this work, we investigate this for
the textit{linear} classes of Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) and of Mullins-Herring (MH) in one- and two-dimensions. From comparison of analytical results with extensive numerical simulations of several discrete models belonging to these classes, as well as numerical integrations of the growth equations on substrates of fixed size (flat geometry) or expanding linearly in time (radial geometry), we verify that the height distributions (HDs), the spatial and the temporal covariances are universal, but geometry-dependent. In fact, the HDs are always Gaussian and, when defined in terms of the so-called KPZ ansatz $[h simeq v_{infty} t + (Gamma t)^{beta} chi]$, their probability density functions $P(chi)$ have mean null, so that all their cumulants are null, except by their variances, which assume different values in the flat and radial cases. The shape of the (rescaled) covariance curves is analyzed in detail and compared with some existing analytical results for them. Overall, these results demonstrate that the splitting of such university classes is quite general, being not restricted to the nonlinear ones.
Stochastic models of surface growth are usually based on randomly choosing a substrate site to perform iterative steps, as in the etching model [1]. In this paper I modify the etching model to perform sequential, instead of random, substrate scan. Th
e randomicity is introduced not in the site selection but in the choice of the rule to be followed in each site. The change positively affects the study of dynamic and asymptotic properties, by reducing the finite size ef- fect and the short-time anomaly and by increasing the saturation time. It also has computational benefits: better use of the cache memory and the possibility of parallel implementation.
