Violation of finite-size scaling in three dimensions

Finite-size scaling study of the vapor-liquid critical properties of confined fluids: Crossover from three dimensions to two dimensions.

We perform histogram-reweighting grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of the Lennard-Jones fluid confined between two parallel hard walls and determine the vapor-liquid critical and coexistence properties in the range of sigma<or=H<or=6sigma and 10sigma<or=L(x),L(y)<or=28sigma, where H is the wall separation, L(x)=L(y) is the system size and sigma is the characteristic length. By matching th...

Finite Size Scaling in Three-Dimensional Bootstrap Percolation

Finite size scaling in three-dimensional bootstrap percolation

We consider the problem of bootstrap percolation on a three dimensional lattice and we study its finite size scaling behavior. Bootstrap percolation is an example of Cellular Automata defined on the d-dimensional lattice {1, 2, ..., L} in which each site can be empty or occupied by a single particle; in the starting configuration each site is occupied with probability p, occupied sites remain o...

Finite Size Scaling

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation phase transition in a weakly interacting gas through a perturbative analysis of finite systems. In both the grand canonical and the canonical ensembles, perturbation theory suffers from infrared divergences and cannot directly determine the transition temperature in the thermodynamic limit. However, in conjunction with finite size scaling, perturbation th...

Finite-Size Scaling in Percolation

This work is a detailed study of the phase transition in percolation, in particular of the question of finite-size scaling: Namely, how does the critical transition behavior emerge from the behavior of large, finite systems? Our results rigorously locate the proper window in which to do critical computation and establish features of the phase transition. This work is a finite-dimensional analog...
