Multivalley structure in Kauffman's model: analogy with spin glasses
Bernard Derrida, Henrik Flyvbjerg · Journal of Physics A Mathematical and General · 1986
Kauffman's model describes a random network of automata. The authors calculations indicate that the multivalley structure of the basins of attraction in Kauffman's model is very similar to that of infinite-range spin glasses. The similarity with spin glasses is tested quantitatively by computing the probability that two initial configurations fall into the same valley.
