Abstract

The duality relation for the effective conductivity sigma_{e} of 2D isotropic heterophase systems is used for obtaining the exact results for sigma_{e} at arbitrary number of phases N. The exact values of sigma_{e} correspond to the fixed points of the duality transformations. The new exact results for sigma_{e}, generalizing the well-known exact values of sigma_{e} for N = 2,3 at equal phase concentrations, are found. It is shown that for N > 3 there exist the whole hyperplanes in the space of phase concentrations, on which sigma_{e} takes constant values. These results are checked in the framework of various approximations for different random heterophase systems.
