We study the energy flow of dissipative dynamics on infinite lattices, allowing the total energy to be infinite and considering formally gradient dynamics. We show that in spatial dimensions 1,2, the flow is for almost all times arbitrarily…
We study the coarsening dynamics of the three-dimensional random field Ising model using Monte Carlo numerical simulations. We test the dynamic scaling and super-scaling properties of global and local two-time observables. We treat in…
In a previous paper we found that in the random field Ising model at zero temperature in three dimensions the correlation length is not self-averaging near the critical point and that the violation of self-averaging is maximal. This is due…
We find a solution to Einstein field equations for a regular toroidal lattice of size L with equal masses M at the centre of each cell; this solution is exact at order M/L. Such a solution is convenient to study the dynamics of an assembly…
We investigate a point-like massive source in non-linear f(R) theories in the case of arbitrary number of spatial dimensions D\geq 3. If D>3 then extra dimensions undergo toroidal compactification. We consider a weak-field approximation…
We study in detail a one-dimensional lattice model of a continuum, conserved field (mass) that is transferred deterministically between neighbouring random sites. The model falls in a wider class of lattice models capturing the joint effect…
We address the question of weak versus strong universality scenarios for the random-bond Ising model in two dimensions. A finite-size scaling theory is proposed, which explicitly incorporates $\ln L$ corrections ($L$ is the linear finite…
The Ising spin glass in two dimensions exhibits rich behavior with subtle differences in the scaling for different coupling distributions. We use recently developed mappings to graph-theoretic problems together with highly efficient…
We consider the Ising model on the square lattice with biaxially correlated random ferromagnetic couplings, the critical point of which is fixed by self-duality. The disorder represents a relevant perturbation according to the extended…
In this paper, we consider a stochastic model of incompressible non-Newtonian fluids of second grade on a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$ with multiplicative noise. We first show that the solutions to the stochastic equations of second…
We introduce a simplified technique for incorporating diffusive phenomena into lattice-gas molecular dynamics models. In this method, spatial interactions take place one dimension at a time, with a separate fractional timestep devoted to…
We study directed polymers subject to a quenched random potential in d transversal dimensions. This system is closely related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation of nonlinear stochastic growth. By a careful analysis of the perturbation…
For the natural initial conditions $L^1$ in the density field (more generally a positive bounded Radon measure) and $L^\infty$ in the velocity field we obtain global approximate solutions to the Cauchy problem for the 3-D systems of…
If we have a system of binary variables and we measure the pairwise correlations among these variables, then the least structured or maximum entropy model for their joint distribution is an Ising model with pairwise interactions among the…
A classical model for water-gas flows in porous media is considered. The degenerate coupled system of equations obtained by mass conservation is usually approximated by finite volume schemes in the oil reservoir simulations. The convergence…
A recently proposed molecular model is discussed as a non-trivial extension of the Ising model. For d=2 the two models are shown to be equivalent, while for d>2 the molecular model describes a peculiar second order transition from an…
A relation between a class of stationary points of the energy landscape of continuous spin models on a lattice and the configurations of a Ising model defined on the same lattice suggests an approximate expression for the microcanonical…
We show that d+1-dimensional surface growth models can be mapped onto driven lattice gases of d-mers. The continuous surface growth corresponds to one dimensional drift of d-mers perpendicular to the (d-1)-dimensional "plane" spanned by the…
We study the 2D Ising model on three different types of lattices that are topologically equivalent to spheres. The geometrical shapes are reminiscent of the surface of a pillow, a 3D cube and a sphere, respectively. Systems of volumes…
The infinite reduction of couplings is a tool to consistently renormalize a wide class of non-renormalizable theories with a reduced, eventually finite, set of independent couplings, and classify the non-renormalizable interactions. Several…
