Bethe-Peierls approximation for linear monodisperse polymers re-examined.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bethe-Peierls approximation, as it applies to the thermodynamics of polymer melts, is reviewed. We compare the computed configurational entropy of monodisperse linear polymer melt with Monte Carlo data available in the literature. An estimation of the configurational contribution to the total liquid's C(p) is presented. We also discuss the relation between the Kauzmann paradox and polymer semiflexibility.

Bethe-peierls Approximation for the 2d Random Ising Model
The partition function of the 2d Ising model with random nearest neighbor coupling is expressed in the dual lattice made of square plaquettes. The dual model is solved in the the mean field and in different types of Bethe-Peierls approximations, using the replica method.
متن کاملBethe-Peierls approximation and the inverse Ising model
We apply the Bethe-Peierls approximation to the problem of the inverse Ising model and show how the linear response relation leads to a simple method to reconstruct couplings and fields of the Ising model. This reconstruction is exact on tree graphs, yet its computational expense is comparable to other mean-field methods. We compare the performance of this method to the independent-pair, naive ...
متن کاملEdge-to-site reduction of Bethe-Peierls approximation for nearest neighbor exclusion cubic lattice particle systems and thermodynamic modeling of liquid silicates.
We study an interacting particle system on the simple cubic lattice satisfying the nearest neighbor exclusion (NNE) which forbids any two nearest sites to be simultaneously occupied. Under the constraint, we develop an edge-to-site reduction of the Bethe-Peierls entropy approximation of the cluster variation method. The resulting NNE-corrected Bragg-Williams approximation is applied to statisti...
متن کاملPartition function loop series for a general graphical model: free energy corrections and message-passing equations
A loop series expansion for the partition function of a general statistical model on a graph is carried out. If the auxiliary probability distributions of the expansion are chosen to be a fixed point of the belief-propagation equation, the first term of the loop series gives the Bethe-Peierls free energy functional at the replicasymmetric level of the mean-field spin glass theory, and correctio...
متن کاملCritical behavior of self-assembled rigid rods on two-dimensional lattices: Bethe-Peierls approximation and Monte Carlo simulations.
The critical behavior of adsorbed monomers that reversibly polymerize into linear chains with restricted orientations relative to the substrate has been studied. In the model considered here, which is known as self-assembled rigid rods (SARRs) model, the surface is represented by a two-dimensional lattice and a continuous orientational transition occurs as a function of temperature and coverage...
