By Yurij Holovatch
This ebook is the 3rd quantity of evaluation papers on complicated difficulties of part transitions and demanding phenomena, following the luck of the 1st volumes in 2004 and in 2007. commonly, the ebook goals to illustrate that the part transition conception, which skilled its ‘golden age’ through the 70s and 80s, is way from over and there's nonetheless a great deal of paintings to be performed, either on the basic point and in recognize of applications.
This quantity offers a large spectrum of difficulties hooked up with criticality. It covers its theoretical backgrounds, analytical techniques and numerical simulations to explain criticality in particular structures (ionic fluids, diluted magnets, polymers), in addition to section transitions on complicated networks and within the minority online game version. because the first volumes, this ebook relies at the evaluate lectures that got in Lviv (Ukraine) on the “Ising lectures” — a conventional annual workshop on part transitions and significant phenomena which brings jointly scientists operating within the box with collage scholars and those that have an interest within the subject.
