Lattice models for hydrogen-bonded solvents

A class of lattice models for a binary mixture is defined by assuming that one of the components may form bonds to neighboring molecules of the same species. It is assumed that the fugacity of a molecule depends on the number of bonds which connect the molecule to other molecules. If no molecule is allowed to be connected by more than two bonds to other molecules, then no phase transition occurs, while phase transition can occur if more than two bonds are allowed. If only two or no bonds are allowed, then the model can be solved rigorously for certain planar lattices by transforming it to a dimer covering problem; this model shows behavior similar to the Ising model in zero magnetic field.Work supported by National Science Foundation grant GP-26526.On leave of absence from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, England.On leave from the University of Copenhagen.     

Lattice models for liquid crystals

A problem in the theory of liquid crystals is to construct a model system which at low temperatures displays long-range orientational order, but not translational order in all directions. We present five lattice models (two two-dimensional and three three-dimensional) of hard-core particles with attractive interactions and prove (using reflection positivity and the Peierls argument) that they have orientational order at low temperatures; the two-dimensional models have no such ordering if the attractive interaction is not present. We cannot prove that these models do not have complete translational order, but their zero-temperature states are such that we are led to conjecture that complete translational order is always absent.Work of EHL supported by U.S. National Science Foundation Grant MCS 75-21684 A02.

Lattice gas models with competing interactions

The phase diagrams of lattice gas models on square and centred rectangular lattices with short range competing pair interactions and three-body forces are studied using Monte Carlo techniques and the transfer matrix method. A variety of commensurate (C) phases can be described as observed experimentally for adsorbed monolayers like H on Pd(100), O on W (110) and especially H on Fe(110). In addition, due to the competition between different C phases incommensurate (IC) structures may occur. Their properties and related aspects (C-IC transitions, disorder lines) are discussed in connection with the widely studied ANNNI model, and general concepts on two-dimensional C and IC phases and experiments. Also dynamic properties — such as the self-diffusion of the adsorbate at the surface — are briefly mentioned.     

Lattice gases and exactly solvable models

We detail the construction of a family of lattice gas automata based on a model of 't Hooft, proceeding by use of symmetry principles to define first the kinematics of the model and then the dynamics. A spurious conserved quantity appears; we use it to effect a radical transformation of the model into one whose spacetime configurations are equivalent to the two-dimensional states of an exactly solvable statistical mechanics model, the symmetric eight-vertex model with parameters restricted to a disorder variety. We comment on the implications of this identification for the original lattice gas.     

Lattice dynamical models of adaptive spatio-temporal phenomena

We describe the rich spectrum of spatio-temporal phenomena emerging from a class of models incorporating adaptive dynamics on a lattice of nonlinear (typically chaotic) elements. The investigation is based on extensive numerical simulations which reveal many novel dynamical phases, ranging from spatio-temporal fixed points and cycles of all orders, to parameter regimes displaying marked scaling properties (as manifest in distinct 1/f spectral characteristics and power law distributions of spatial quantities).

Lattice models of hydrogen-bonded solvents. II

We consider a lattice model of a binary mixture in which each molecule of one component can form zero, one, or two bonds to molecules of the same species on neighboring vertices of the square lattice. We allow the energy of molecules with two bonds to depend on the valence angle, thus generalizing the first paper in this series. If straight polymeric configurations are favored over all others, then a phase transition occurs for low enough temperature. On the other hand, if bent configurations are favored, there is no phase transition. Analogous results are obtained for the hexagonal lattice, where we distinguish energetically betweencis andtrans isomerism of four bonded molecules.Supported by the Danish Science Foundation under grant 511-3635.     

Lattice models with N=2 supersymmetry

We introduce lattice models with explicit N=2 supersymmetry. In these interacting models, the supersymmetry generators Q+/- yield the Hamiltonian H=(Q(+),Q(-)) on any graph. The degrees of freedom can be described as either fermions with hard cores, or as quantum dimers; the Hamiltonian of our simplest model contains a hopping term and a repulsive potential. We analyze these models using conformal field theory, the Bethe ansatz, and cohomology. The simplest model provides a manifestly supersymmetric lattice regulator for the supersymmetric point of the massless (1+1)-dimensional Thirring (Luttinger) model. Generalizations include a quantum monomer-dimer model on a two-leg ladder.     

Lattice CP models and their large-N behaviour

Two different lattice actions reproducing the CP^N−1 model in the continuum are discussed and, in the two cases, strong and weak coupling expansions relative to different physical quantities are obtained. Large-N behaviour is analyzed by evaluating the limiting value of the two partition functions. In neither case does a smooth transition seem possible between strong and weak coupling regions for the limiting model.     

Lattice distortion in disordered antiferromagnetic XY models

The behavior of lattice distortion in spin 1/2 antiferromagnetic XY models with random magnetic modulation is investigated with the consideration of spin-phonon coupling in the adiabatic limit. It is found that lattice distortion relies on the strength of the random modulation. For strong or weak enough spin-phonon couplings, the average lattice distortion may decrease or increase as the random modulation is strengthened. This may be the result of competition between the random magnetic modulation and the spin-phonon coupling.     

The lattice Boltzmann advection-diffusion model revisited

Advection-diffusion processes can be simulated by the Lattice Boltzmann method. Two formulations have been proposed in the literature. We show that they are not fully correct (only first order accurate). A new formulation is proposed, which is shown to produce better results, both from the point of view of the Chapman-Enskog expansion or when comparing simulations with an exact time-dependent solution of the advection-diffusion equation.     

Lattice versions of quantum field theory models in two dimensions

The quantum inverse scattering method allows one to put quantum field theory models on a lattice in a way which preserves the dynamical structure. The trace identifies are discussed for these models.     

Lattice models of traffic flow considering drivers' delay in response

This paper proposes two lattice traffic models by taking into account the drivers' delay in response. The lattice versions of the hydrodynamic model are described by the differential-difference equation and difference-difference equation, respectively. The stability conditions for the two models are obtained by using the linear stability theory. The modified KdV equation near the critical point is derived to describe the traffic jam by using the reductive perturbation method, and the kink--antikink soliton solutions related to the traffic density waves are obtained. The results show that the drivers' delay in sensing headway plays an important role in jamming transition.     

反常扩散与分数阶对流-扩散方程

反常扩散现象在自然界和社会系统中广泛存在.考虑了扩散过程的时间相关和时空相关性，用非局域性的处理方法，在传统的二阶对流 扩散方程基础上，得到了分数阶对流 扩散方程，以此方程来描述反常扩散.在此方程中，弥散项和对时间的导数为分数阶导数所代替.由此分数阶对流 扩散方程，对传统的费克扩散定律进行推广，得到了广义的分数费克扩散定律，分数费克扩散定律说明某时刻空间中某点的流量不仅与其领域内的浓度梯度有关，而且与整个空间中其他不同点的粒子浓度、浓度变化的历史，甚至初始时刻的浓度有关.讨论了方程的解——分数稳定分布，并由此说明了扩散运动的平均平方位移是运移时间的非线性函数. 关键词： 扩散 分数阶微积分 稳定分布（Lévy分布） 费克扩散定律     

High-temperature series for scalar-field Lattice models: Generation and analysis

An implementation of the free-embedding scheme for high-temperature series generation on the body-centered cubic family of lattices in arbitrary dimensiond is, described. Series to order 21 in inverse temperature are tabulated for several scalar field models, both for the magnetic susceptibility and for the second moment of the spin correlation function. The critical behavior of a family of 3-dimensional double Gaussian models, which interpolate continuously between the spin-1/2 Ising model and the Gaussian model, is analyzed in detail away from the Gaussian model limit using confluent inhomogeneous secondorder differential approximants. With our best estimate of the correction-to-scaling exponent,=0.52±0.03, the leading exponents for the susceptibility and correlation length for this family are consistent with universality and are given by=1.237±0.002 and =0.630±0.0015, respectively, and=2–/=0.0359±0.0007.     

Boundary effects on chaotic advection-diffusion chemical reactions

A theory of a fast binary chemical reaction, A+B-->C, in a statistically stationary bounded chaotic flow at large Peclet number Pe and large Damk?hler number Da is described. The first stage correspondent to formation of the developed lamellar structure in the bulk part of the flow is terminated by an exponential decay, proportional, variant exp((-lambdat) (where lambda is the Lyapunov exponent of the flow), of the chemicals in the bulk. The second and the third stages are due to the chemicals remaining in the boundary region. During the second stage, the amounts of A and B decay proportional, variant 1/sqrt[t], whereas the decay law during the third stage is exponential, proportional, variant exp((-gammat), where gamma approximately lambda/sqrt[Pe].     

New complex variable meshless method for advection-diffusion problems

In this paper,an improved complex variable meshless method(ICVMM) for two-dimensional advection-diffusion problems is developed based on improved complex variable moving least-square(ICVMLS) approximation.The equivalent functional of two-dimensional advection-diffusion problems is formed,the variation method is used to obtain the equation system,and the penalty method is employed to impose the essential boundary conditions.The difference method for twopoint boundary value problems is used to obtain the discrete equations.Then the corresponding formulas of the ICVMM for advection-diffusion problems are presented.Two numerical examples with different node distributions are used to validate and investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the new method in this paper.It is shown that ICVMM is very effective for advection-diffusion problems,and has a good convergent character,accuracy,and computational efficiency.     

Anomalous transport regimes in a stochastic advection-diffusion model

A general solution to the stochastic advection-diffusion problem is obtained for a fractal medium with long-range correlated spatial fluctuations. A particular transport regime is determined by two basic parameters: the exponent 2h of power-law decay of the two-point velocity correlation function and the mean advection velocity u. The values of these parameters corresponding to anomalous diffusion are determined, and anomalous behavior of the tracer distribution is analyzed for various combinations of u and h. The tracer concentration is shown to decrease exponentially at large distances, whereas power-law decay is predicted by fractional differential equations. Equations that describe the essential characteristics of the solution are written in terms of coupled space-time fractional differential operators. The analysis relies on a diagrammatic technique and makes use of scale-invariant properties of the medium.     

Localization of electromagnetic and acoustic waves in random media. Lattice models

We consider lattice versions of Maxwell's equations and of the equation that governs the propagation of acoustic waves in a random medium. The vector nature of electromagnetic waves is fully taken into account. The medium is assumed to be a small perturbation of a periodic one. We prove rigorously that localized eigenstates arise in a vicinity of the edges of the gaps in the spectrum. A key ingredient is a new Wegner-type estimate for a class of lattice operators with off-diagonal disorder.
