This book provides an introduction to Monte Carlo simulations in classical statistical physics
and is aimed both at students beginning work in the field and at more experienced …

В последние годы достигнут значительный прогресс в понимании проблемы фазовых
переходов и критических явлений. Наиболее плодотворными в этой области оказались …

A concise, comprehensive introduction to the topic of statistical physics of combinatorial
optimization, bringing together theoretical concepts and algorithms from computer science …

Hysteresis loops are often seen in experiments at first-order phase transformations, when
the system goes out of equilibrium. They may have a macroscopic jump (roughly as in the …

Equilibrium and dynamical relaxation behavior of fluids confined in disordered mesoporous
glasses such as Vycor are studied based on a lattice model using mean field theory and …

We apply the recently developed critical minimum-energy subspace scheme for the
investigation of the random-field Ising model. We point out that this method is well suited for …

We show rigorously that the spin-glass susceptibility in the random field Ising model is
always bounded by the ferromagnetic susceptibility, and therefore that no spin-glass phase …

We investigate the critical behavior of three-dimensional random-field Ising systems with
both Gauss and bimodal distribution of random fields and additional the three-dimensional …

We explore the critical properties of the recently discovered finite-time dynamical phase
transition in the nonequilibrium relaxation of Ising magnets after a temperature quench. The …
