Sparse modeling refers to methodologies for finding a small number of relevant parameters that well explain a given dataset. This concept reminds us physics, where the goal is to find a small number of physical laws that are hidden behind complicated phenomena. Sparse modeling extends the target of physics from natural phenomena to data, and may be interpreted as “physics for data”. The first half of this review introduces sparse modeling for physicists. It is assumed that readers have physics background but no expertise in data science. The second half reviews applications. Matsubara Green’s function, which plays a central role in descriptions of correlated systems, has been found to be sparse, meaning that it contains little information. This leads to (i) a new method for solving the ill-conditioned inverse problem for analytical continuation, and (ii) a highly compact representation of Matsubara Green’s function, which enables efficient calculations for quantum many-body systems. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OtsukiJunya en-aut-sei=Otsuki en-aut-mei=Junya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhzekiMasayuki en-aut-sei=Ohzeki en-aut-mei=Masayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinaokaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Shinaoka en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshimiKazuyoshi en-aut-sei=Yoshimi en-aut-mei=Kazuyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Physics, Saitama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=4Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=89 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=064401 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=20200519 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Energy Transfer to Resonant Zonal Rossby Modes in Two-Dimensional Turbulence on a Rotating Sphere en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The transfer of energy by the nonlinear interaction of Rossby waves in two-dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere was investigated in this study. Although it has been suggested that three-wave resonant interaction dominates nonlinear interactions when the rotation rate of the sphere is sufficiently high, resonant interactions do not transfer energy to zonal Rossby waves, resulting in the nonresonant interaction of Rossby waves being responsible for the generation of zonal flows [Reznik, Piterbarg, and Kartashova, Dyn. Atmos. Oceans 18, 235 (1993); Obuse and Yamada, Phys. Rev. Fluids 4, 024601 (2019)]. The resonant and nonresonant interactions of Rossby waves were investigated in this study, and it was found that although energy is transferred to the zonal Rossby modes by the nonresonant three-wave interaction of Rossby waves, the target of this nonresonant energy transfer is only the resonant zonal Rossby waves. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ObuseKiori en-aut-sei=Obuse en-aut-mei=Kiori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamadaMichio en-aut-sei=Yamada en-aut-mei=Michio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University kn-affil= END
