(statistical mechanics)

Physical models demonstrate gravitational force near the earth's surface, potential energy, vibrational energy, collisions, entropy, and the Boltzmann distribution.
lt;m] (x): k [left arrow] Cl (x) nodes [left arrow] nodes + k if (nodes [greater than or equal to] m) generate k - (nodes - m) nodes (*) return [perpendicular] else return a rooted clique on k + 1 nodes It can easily be checked that the sampler above generates cliques according to the Boltzmann distribution (1), if it does not early interrupt (returning [perpendicular]).
This means that the occupation probability f(v) of the responsible excited states does not follow a Boltzmann distribution f(v) = exp (-hv/kT) but the rule f(v) = constant (Fig.
