Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Complex Systems

Background:

  • Understanding critical phenomena in systems with mixed interactions is crucial.
  • Small-world networks exhibit unique properties that warrant investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze equilibrium statistical mechanics models with combined short- and long-range interactions.
  • To identify the crossover to mean-field behavior and its scaling properties.
  • To determine universal critical properties of small-world networks and explore nonequilibrium processes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of statistical mechanics models incorporating both short- and long-range interactions.
  • Identification of crossover phenomena and scaling behaviors.
  • Application to systems on small-world networks and consideration of nonequilibrium dynamics.

  • The model successfully determined universal critical properties for small-world network systems.
  • Nonequilibrium processes were also investigated within this framework.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides insights into the behavior of complex systems with combined interactions.
  • The developed model is effective for characterizing critical properties in small-world networks.
  • Further research into nonequilibrium dynamics in such systems is suggested.
