Convexity in the Theory of Lattice Gases /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

In this book, Robert Israel considers classical and quantum lattice systems in terms of equilibrium statistical mechanics. He is especially concerned with the characterization of translation-invariant equilibrium states by a variational principle and the use of convexity in studying these states. Ar...
