In this work we study an unusual phase transition of the Baxter–Wu model in the presence of an external magnetic field. The model is pure Baxter–Wu, which means that only three-spin interactions are taken into account. We construct a phase diagram on the temperature–field plane based...

Percolation due to the simultaneous occupation of two neighboring bond sites, namely a bond dimer, is considered here by means of the renormalization cell technique providing an analytic way to obtain results such as percolation threshold, jamming coverage and critical exponents. This is...

In this work we examine the critical finite-size scaling behavior of the energy probability distribution function and its corresponding Binder cumulant at critical point. Based on the results of Monte Carlo simulations at zero external magnetic field using the recently developed triangle-cluster...

In this work we study the existence of nontrivial solution for the following class of multivalued quasilinear problems <Equation ID="Equ51"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\begin{aligned} \displaystyle -\text{ div } ( \phi (|\nabla u|) \nabla u) - b(u)u \in \lambda \partial F(x,u)\;\text{ in }\;\Omega , \quad u=0\; \text{ on }\;\partial \Omega...</equationsource></equation>

This paper discusses various ways of measuring the persistence or Long Memory (LM) of financial market risk in both its time and frequency domains. For the measurement of the risk, irregularity or 'randomness' of these series, we can compute a set of critical Lipschitz - Hölder exponents, in...

We study the four-state antiferromagnetic Potts model on the triangular lattice. We show that the model has six types of defects which diffuse and annihilate according to certain conservation laws consistent with their having a vector-valued topological charge. Using the properties of these...

In critical phenomena, many of the characteristic features encountered in higher dimensions such as scaling, data collapse and associated critical exponents are also present in one dimension. Likewise for systems displaying self-organised criticality. We show that the one-dimensional...

The phase diagram, the thermodynamic and ground-state critical properties of the random-field Ising model defined on the diamond family of hierarchical lattices with arbitrary dimension and scaling factor b=2 is investigated. The continuous Gaussian and the discrete delta-bimodal initial...

The eigenvalue spectra of the transition probability matrix for random walks traversing critically disordered clusters in three different types of percolation problems show that the random walker sees a developing Euclidean signature for short time scales as the local, full-coordination...

The equilibrium tilt angle profile in a cell limited by two concentric cylinders filled with nematic liquid crystals is determined for strong homeotropic anchoring at the surfaces. The anchoring condition is such that the nematic director is perpendicular to the cylinder axes and a radial...
