A Theory of Cooperative Phenomena. III. Detailed Discussions of the Cluster Variation Method

Abstract: A series of approximations for the statistical mechanics of order-disorder, proposed by Bethe, Takagi, Yang-Li-Hill, Kikuchi, and others, are investigated in detail in two ways. (1) A new interpretation of the method for constructing the combinatory factor is presented in order to give a better understanding of the nature of approximations. (2) The partition functions with approximate combinatory factors are expanded to compare with the rigorous expansion and the discrepancies between them are investigated in … Show more

“…Therefore the betweenness centrality is smaller for vertices in more outer layers; more important vertices have smaller populations. Inhomogeneity has an influence on the type of phase transition; whereas the Ising model on a BL undergoes a second-order transition [10][11][12], that on a CT undergoes an infinite-order transition [13][14][15]. Similar behavior is observed in the bond-percolation transitions on a CT and a BL [3], which will be reported in detail in the following sections.…”

“…Two new functions Q 1 and Q 2 entering the exact formula (19) for the sublattice magnetization of the Heisenberg spins are defined as follows can be readily obtained from a comparison of the effective coupling (9) with its critical value (16), which subsequently provides the following explicit form for the critical condition…”

“…In the cluster variation method proposed by Kiku chi [2][3][4][5][6], the free energy of the compound being ordered and consisting of N atoms is expressed as (5) where are the probabilities of the ith configura tions of a basis cluster S; (n -1) is the number of over lap figures; o (S) and are the revaluation and multi plicity parameters, respectively; and ε i are the energies…”
