First Order Phase Transition in the 3-dimensional Blume-Capel Model on a Cellular Automaton
The first order phase transition of the three-dimensional Blume Capel are
investigated using cooling algorithm which improved from Creutz Cellular
Automaton for the parameter value in the first order phase transition
region. The analysis of the data using the finite-size effect and the histogram
technique indicate that the magnetic susceptibility maxima and the specific
heat maxima increase with the system volume () at .Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
The Critical Behaviour of the Spin-3/2 Blume-Capel Model in Two Dimensions
The phase diagram of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model in two dimensions is
explored by conventional finite-size scaling, conformal invariance and Monte
Carlo simulations. The model in its -continuum Hamiltonian version is
also considered and compared with others spin-3/2 quantum chains. Our results
indicate that differently from the standard spin-1 Blume-Capel model there is
no multicritical point along the order-disorder transition line. This is in
qualitative agreement with mean field prediction but in disagreement with
previous approximate renormalization group calculations. We also presented new
results for the spin-1 Blume-Capel model.Comment: latex 18 pages, 4 figure
Learning, Experimentation, and Long-Run Behavior in Games
This paper investigates a class of population-learning dynamics. In every period agents either adopt a best reply to the current distribution of actual play, or a best reply to a sample, taken with replacement, from the distribution of intended play (the strategies adopted at the end of last period), or they are inactive. If sampling with replacement and being inactive have strictly positive probability, these dynamics converge globally to minimal curb sets in the absence of mistakes. For two-player i x j-games, i; j .le. 3; the same result holds even if only best responding to actual play and being inactive have positive probability. If players make mistakes in the implementation of their strategies, these dynamics select among minimal curb sets .
Surface reentrance in the semi-infinite spin-1 Ising models
The critical behavior of the semi-infinite Blume-Capel and
Blume-Emery-Griffiths models is investigated in the pair approximation of the
Cluster Variation Method. Equations for bulk and surface order parameters and
n.n. correlation functions are given, from which analytical expressions for the
second order bulk and surface critical temperatures are derived. The phase
diagrams of the Blume-Capel model are classified, and the existence of a
surface first order transition is discussed. This transition is shown to be,
under certain conditions, slightly reentrant, and the behavior of the surface
order parameters and correlation functions is given for such a case. The
extension of our results to the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model is briefly
discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures (PostScript, appended), POLFIS-TH.19/9
Reentrant Phase Transitions of the Blume-Emery-Griffiths Model for a Simple Cubic Lattice on the Cellular Automaton
The spin-1 Ising (BEG) model with the nearest-neighbour bilinear and
biquadratic interactions and single-ion anisotropy is simulated on a cellular
automaton which improved from the Creutz cellular automaton(CCA) for a simple
cubic lattice. The simulations have been made for several sets of parameters
and in the and parameter regions.
The re-entrant and double re-entrant phase transitions of the BEG model are
determined from the temperature variations of the thermodynamic quantities
(, and ). The phase diagrams characterizing phase transitions are
compared with those obtained from other methods.Comment: 12 pages 7 figure
