The Landau Fermi-liquid theory is generalized for a system of fermions with a “color degree of freedom” (quark plasma). It is shown that the phase transition to color ordering state may occur depending on the change in thermodynamic parameters similar to a magnetic phase transition taking...

We introduce and study coupled map lattices with complex state variable. The dynamical regimes of the finite-length systems are classified naturally in terms of a topological invariant – the overall phase shift accumulated along the whole length at fixed time. A stability analysis of the...

The structural and thermodynamic properties of a confined hard ellipse fluid are studied using Monte Carlo simulation. The angular, average number densities and order parameters of hard ellipses confined between hard parallel walls are obtained for various bulk densities, aspect ratios and wall...

The influence of a homogeneous external field on a three-dimensional uniaxial magnet behaviour near the critical point is investigated on the microscopic level by the nonperturbative collective variable (CV) method using the ρ4 model. The research is carried out in the high-temperature region....

The presence of oscillatory activity in motor command signals was demonstrated, and the possible existence of synchronous oscillatory activity within the sensorimotor system has been suggested. We adopted a set of 1000 coupled oscillators distributed on 10×10 square lattice as a model of a...

The natural time domain has shown to be an important tool to obtain relevant information hidden in time series of complex systems not easily obtainable by means of standard analysis methods. By assuming that tectonism is a complex system and that earthquakes are similar to a phase transition, it...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impacts of technological capability (TC) and technology management (TM) on the development of China’s telecommunications industry by examining two interrelated questions: Which is the order parameter for China’s telecommunications...
