Statistical Physics

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Statistical Physics.

• Cavity method — A statistical-physics technique for disordered mean-field systems that removes one variable, characterizes the effective field from the remainder and imposes self-consistency when the variable is restored.
• Dynamic scaling — A self-similarity relation in which an evolving observable collapses across time when amplitude and spatial variables are rescaled by characteristic exponents.
• Transport integrals — A family of special integrals weighting powers of a dimensionless variable by a thermal occupation-response kernel in solid-state transport theory.
