We propose a modification of the Nightingale renormalization group for lattice spin and gauge models by combining it with the cluster decimation approximation. Essential ingredients of our approach are: 1) exact calculation of the partition…
In this paper we study a renormalization-group map: the block averaging transformation applied to Gibbs measures relative to a class of finite range lattice gases, when suitable strong mixing conditions are satisfied. Using block decimation…
Satisfiability is a classic problem in computational complexity theory, in which one wishes to determine whether an assignment of values to a collection of Boolean variables exists in which all of a collection of clauses composed of logical…
