Abstract
A Monte Carlo (MC) computer experiment for the analysis of first-order temperature-driven phase transitions in a system with one or many independently behaving order parameters is presented using the example of the three-dimensional (3D) Ashkin-Teller model, one of the important reference systems in statistical physics showing a rich and complex phase diagram. The properties of a number of quantities, such as magnetization, three types of cumulants, the internal energy, and its histogram, are exploited. The Lee and Kosterlitz concept proposed for strong first-order phase transitions in systems with one independent order parameter is significantly expanded to obtain results with comparable error bars in reasonable computation times at an arbitrary amount of latent heat. The proposed computer MC experiment uses parallel processing and both the Metropolis and recently formulated cluster algorithms. Arbitrarily weak to strong first-order phase transitions in the phase diagram region with ferromagnetic interactions are investigated and the latent heat associated with individual degrees of freedom is carefully computed. In the discussion of results, the behavior of our 3D system between that of the mean-field and that of the 2D one is bracketed and the role of the Potts point is clarified.

Abstract
We introduce an exact replica method for the study of critical systems with quenched bond randomness in two dimensions. For the q-state Potts model, we show that a line of renormalization group fixed points interpolates from weak to strong randomness as q-2 grows from small to large values. This theory exhibits a q-independent sector, and allows at the same time for a correlation length exponent which keeps the Ising value and continuously varying magnetization exponent and effective central charge. These findings appear to solve long-standing numerical and theoretical puzzles, and to illustrate the peculiarities which may characterize the conformal field theories of random fixed points.

Abstract
The effects of bond randomness on the universality aspects of a two-dimensional (d = 2) Blume-Capel model embedded in the triangular lattice are discussed. The system is studied numerically in both its first- and second-order phase-transition regimes by a comprehensive finite-size scaling analysis for a particularly suitable value of the disorder strength. We find that our data for the second-order phase transition, emerging under random bonds from the second-order regime of the pure model, are compatible with the universality class of the two-dimensional (2D) random Ising model. Furthermore, we find evidence that, the second-order transition emerging under bond randomness from the first-order regime of the pure model, belongs again to the same universality class. Although the first finding reinforces the scenario of strong universality in the 2D Ising model with quenched disorder, the second is in difference from the critical behavior, emerging under randomness, in the cases of the ex-first-order transitions of the Potts model. Finally, our results verify previous renormalization-group calculations on the Blume-Capel model with disorder in the crystal-field coupling.

Abstract
The effects of bond randomness on the phase diagram and critical behavior of the square lattice ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model are discussed. The system is studied in both the pure and disordered versions by the same efficient two-stage Wang-Landau method for many values of the crystal field, restricted here in the second-order phase-transition regime of the pure model. For the random-bond version several disorder strengths are considered. We present phase diagram points of both pure and random versions and for a particular disorder strength we locate the emergence of the enhancement of ferromagnetic order observed in an earlier study in the ex-first-order regime. The critical properties of the pure model are contrasted and compared to those of the random model. Accepting, for the weak random version, the assumption of the double-logarithmic scenario for the specific heat we attempt to estimate the range of universality between the pure and random-bond models. The behavior of the strong disorder regime is also discussed and a rather complex and yet not fully understood behavior is observed. It is pointed out that this complexity is related to the ground-state structure of the random-bond version.

Abstract
We study two-dimensional q -state random-bond Potts models for both q=8 and q=5 with a linearly varying temperature. By applying a successive Monte Carlo renormalization group procedure, both the static and dynamic critical exponents are obtained for randomness amplitudes (the strong to weak coupling ratio) of r_{0}=3 , 10, 15, and 20. The correlation length exponent nu increases with disorder from less than to larger than unity and this variation is justified by the good collapse of the specific heat near the critical region. The specific heat exponent is obtained by the usual hyperscaling relation alpha=2-dnu and thus indicates no possibility of the activated dynamic scaling. Both r_{0} and q have effects on the critical dynamics of the disordered systems, which can be seen from variations of the rate exponent, the hysteresis exponent, and the dynamic critical exponent. Implications of these results are discussed.

Abstract
A combination of recent numerical and theoretical advances are applied to analyze the scaling behavior of the site-diluted Ising model in two dimensions, paying special attention to the implications for multiplicative logarithmic corrections. The analysis focuses primarily on the odd sector of the model (i.e., that associated with magnetic exponents), and in particular on its Lee-Yang zeros, which are determined to high accuracy. Scaling relations are used to connect to the even (thermal) sector, and a first analysis of the density of zeros yields information on the specific heat and its corrections. The analysis is fully supportive of the strong scaling hypothesis and of the scaling relations for logarithmic corrections.

Abstract
Multiplicative logarithmic corrections frequently characterize critical behavior in statistical physics. Here, a recently proposed theory relating the exponents of such terms is extended to account for circumstances which often occur when the leading specific-heat critical exponent vanishes. Also, the theory is widened to encompass the correlation function. The new relations are then confronted with results from the literature, and some new predictions for logarithmic corrections in certain models are made.

Abstract
The short-time critical dynamics of the two-dimensional eight-state random-bond Potts model is investigated with large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. Dynamic relaxation starting from a disordered and an ordered state is carefully analyzed. The continuous phase transition induced by disorder is studied, and both the dynamic and static critical exponents are estimated. The static exponent beta/nu shows little dependence on the disorder amplitude r, while the dynamic exponent z and static exponent 1/nu vary with the strength of disorder.

Abstract
Using the real-space renormalization-group transformation, we study the phase transitions of the Ashkin-Teller model including the antiferromagnetic interactions on a type of diamond hierarchical lattices, of which the number of bonds per branch of the generator is odd. The isotropic Ashkin-Teller model and the anisotropic one are, respectively, investigated. We find that the phase diagram, for the isotropic Ashkin-Teller model, consists of five phases, two of which are associated with the partially antiferromagnetic ordering of the system, while the phase diagram, for the anisotropic Ashkin-Teller model, contains 11 phases, six of which are related to the partially antiferromagnetic ordering of the system. The correlation length critical exponents and the crossover exponents are also calculated.

Abstract
The phase transition in the q -state Potts model with homogeneous ferromagnetic couplings is strongly first order for large q, while it is rounded in the presence of quenched disorder. Here we study this phenomenon on different two-dimensional lattices by using the fact that the partition function of the model is dominated by a single diagram of the high-temperature expansion, which is calculated by an efficient combinatorial optimization algorithm. For a given finite sample with discrete randomness the free energy is a piecewise linear function of the temperature, which is rounded after averaging, however, the discontinuity of the internal energy at the transition point (i.e., the latent heat) stays finite even in the thermodynamic limit. For a continuous disorder, instead, the latent heat vanishes. At the phase transition point the dominant diagram percolates and the total magnetic moment is related to the size of the percolating cluster. Its fractal dimension is found d(f) = ( 5 + square root of 5)/4 and it is independent of the type of the lattice and the form of disorder. We argue that the critical behavior is exclusively determined by disorder and the corresponding fixed point is the isotropic version of the so-called infinite randomness fixed point, which is realized in random quantum spin chains. From this mapping we conjecture the values of the critical exponents as beta=2- d(f), beta(s) =1/2, and nu=1.

Abstract
The phase transitions of the anisotropic Ashkin-Teller model on a family of diamond-type hierarchical lattices is studied by means of the transfer-matrix method and the real-space renormalization-group transformation. We find that the phase diagram, for the ferromagnetic case, consists of five phases, i.e., the fully disordered paramagnetic phase P, the fully ordered ferromagnetic phase F, and three partially ordered ferromagnetic phases F(s), F(sigma), and F(s sigma), as well as ten nontrivial fixed points. The correlation length critical exponents and the crossover exponents are also calculated. In addition, we also investigate the variations of the critical exponents with the fractal dimension d(f), the number of branches m, and the number of bonds per branch b of the generator of the family of diamond-type hierarchical lattices. Finally we give a brief discussion about universality.

Abstract
Clustering gene expression data by exploiting phase transitions in granular ferromagnets requires transforming the data to a granular substrate. We present a method using the recently introduced homogeneity order parameter Lambda [H. Agrawal, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 268702 (2002)]] for optimizing the parameter controlling the "granularity" and thus the stability of partitions. The model substrates obtained for gene expression data have a highly granular structure. We explore properties of phase transition in high q ferromagnetic Potts models on these substrates and show that the maximum of the width of superparamagnetic domain, corresponding to maximally stable partitions, coincides with the minimum of Lambda.

We study the critical behavior of the q-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings.

The optimization problem of finding the dominant graph, is studied on the square lattice by simulated annealing and by a combinatorial algorithm. Critical exponents of the magnetization and the correlation length are estimated and conformal predictions are compared with numerical results.

Abstract
We study a two-dimensional nonequilibrium Ashkin-Teller model based on competing dynamics induced by contact with a heat bath at temperature T, and subject to an external source of energy. The dynamics of the system is simulated by two competing stochastic processes: a Glauber dynamics with probability p, which simulates the contact with the heat bath; and a Kawasaki dynamics with probability 1-p, which takes into account the flux of energy into the system. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the phase diagram for the stationary states of the model and the corresponding critical exponents. The phase diagrams of the model exhibit a self-organization phenomenon for certain values of the fourth coupling interaction strength. On the other hand, from exponent calculations, the equilibrium critical behavior is preserved when nonequilibrium conditions are applied.

Abstract
We present a numerical study of two-dimensional random-bond Potts ferromagnets. The model is studied both below and above the critical value Qc=4, which discriminates between second- and first-order transitions in the pure system. Two geometries are considered, namely cylinders and square-shaped systems, and the critical behavior is investigated through conformal invariance techniques that were recently shown to be valid, even in the randomness-induced second-order phase transition regime Q>4. In the cylinder geometry, connectivity transfer matrix calculations provide a simple test to find the range of disorder amplitudes that is characteristic of the disordered fixed point. The scaling dimensions then follow from the exponential decay of correlations along the strip. Monte Carlo simulations of spin systems on the other hand are generally performed on systems of rectangular shape on the square lattice, but the data are then perturbed by strong surface effects. The conformal mapping of a semi-infinite system inside a square enables us to take into account boundary effects explicitly and leads to an accurate determination of the scaling dimensions. The techniques are applied to different values of Q in the range 3-64.

Abstract
Motivated by recent experiments on phase behavior of systems confined in porous media, we have studied the effect of randomness on the nature of the phase transition in the two-dimensional Potts model. To model the effects of the porous matrix we introduce a random distribution of couplings P(J(ij))=pdelta(J(ij)-J1)+(1-p)delta(J(ij)-J2) in the q state Potts Hamiltonian. An extensive Monte Carlo study is made on this system for q=5. We studied two different cases of disorder (a) J(1)/J(2)-->infinity and p=0.8 and (b) J(1)/J(2)=10 and p=0.5. We observed, in both cases, that the weak first order transition that appears in the pure case, changes to a second-order transition. A finite size scaling analysis shows that the correlation length exponent nu is close to 1 and the best fit to the dependence of the specific heat on system size is logarithmic. This suggests that both cases belong to the universality class of the Ising model. In contrast, the magnetic exponents point to a different universality class.
