We study the phenomenon of intermittency in inhomogeneous lattices of coupled map where inhomogeneity appears in the form of different values of map parameters at adjacent sites.The system exhibits spatiotemporal intermittency in various…
A two-dimensional lattice gas model is proposed. The ground state of this model with a fixed density is neither periodic nor quasi-periodic. It also depends on system size in an irregular manner. On the other hand, it is ordered in the…
We study the phase diagram of the sine circle map lattice with random initial conditions and identify the various types of dynamical behaviour which appear here. We focus on the regions which show spatio-temporal intermittency and…
Both quantum phase transitions and thermodynamic phase transitions are probably induced by fluctuations, yet the specific mechanism through which fluctuations cause phase transitions remains unclear in existing theories. This paper…
The phase ordering properties of lattices of band-chaotic maps coupled diffusively with some coupling strength $g$ are studied in order to determine the limit value $g_e$ beyond which multistability disappears and non-trivial collective…

The transition from complex-periodic to chaotic behavior is investigated in oscillatory media supporting spiral waves. We find turbulent regimes characterized by the spontaneous nucleation, proliferation and erratic motion of…
The chaotic phenomenon of intermittency is modeled by a simple map of the unit interval, the Farey map. The long term dynamical behaviour of a point under iteration of the map is translated into a spin system via symbolic dynamics. Methods…
We reconsider model II of [J. Chem. Phys. 1968, 49, 1778--1783], a two-dimensional lattice-gas system featuring a crystalline phase and two distinct fluid phases (liquid and vapor). In this system, a particle prevents other particles from…
The two dimensional lattice Ginzburg-Landau hamiltonian is simulated numerically for different values of the coherence length $\xi$ in units of the lattice spacing $a$, a parameter which controls amplitude fluctuations. The phase diagram on…

We study boundary induced phase transitions in a driven lattice gas exhibiting metastability. The phase diagram for open systems, parameterized by the input and output rates, consists of two regions corresponding to the free flow and jammed…
In this paper, a search for power-law fluctuations with fractality and intermittency analysis to explore the QCD phase diagram and the critical point is summarized. Experimental data on self-similar correlations and fluctuations with…
In this chapter we discuss aspects of the quantum critical behavior that occurs at a quantum phase transition separating a topological phase from a conventionally ordered one. We concentrate on a family of quantum lattice models, namely…
The East model has a dynamical phase transition between an active (fluid) and inactive (glass) state. We show that this phase transition generalizes to "softened" systems where constraint violations are allowed with small but finite…
Multistability is an inseparable feature of many physical, chemical and biological systems which are driven far from equilibrium. In these nonequilibrium systems, stochastic dynamics often induces switching between distinct states on…
We study a lattice model describing the non-equilibrium dynamics emerging from the pulling of a tracer particle through a disordered medium occupied by randomly placed obstacles. The model is considered in a restricted geometry pertinent…

Critical points and phase transitions are characterized by diverging susceptibilities, reflecting the tendency of the system toward spontaneous symmetry breaking. Equilibrium statistical mechanics bounds these instabilities to occur at zero…
We study a continuous quasi-two-dimensional order-disorder phase transition that occurs in a simple model of a material that is inhomogeneously strained due to the presence of dislocation lines. Performing Monte Carlo simulations of…
