Simulations of the two-dimensional Ising and 3-state Potts models at their critical points are performed using the invaded cluster (IC) algorithm. It is argued that observables measured on a sub-lattice of size l should exhibit a crossover…
We examine a global disorder transition when identifying community structure in an arbitrary complex network. Earlier, we illustrated [Phil. Mag. 92, 406 (2012)] that "community detection" (CD) generally exhibits disordered (or unsolvable)…
The Jahn-Teller distortive transition of \lmo is described by a modified 3-state Potts model. The interactions between the three possible orbits depends both on the orbits and their relative orientation on the lattice. Values of the two…
