We study the effect that randomness has on long-range interacting systems by using the ferromagnetic Ising model with $p$-body interactions in random fields. The case with p=2 yields a phase diagram similar to that of previously studied…
Recently, it has been found that an effective long-range interaction is realized among local bistable variables (spins) in systems where the elastic interaction causes ordering of the spins. In such systems, generally we expect both…
