Aspects of Marangoni convection induced by heating from below are reviewed. A Lorenz like model for Marangoni convection with finite wave number in large aspect ratio situation has been constructed. We have got limit cycles.

The effects of random crystal field on the stationary states of the kinetic spin-1 Blume Capel model are studied using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics under the time-dependent oscillating field assumption. Our investigation, based on the equilibrium ground state phase diagram, revealed many...

Following Brandt and Ron's suggestion of inverting the renormalization group transformation used in Monte Carlo renormalization, it is shown that efficient computer simulations of the fixed point of the transformation can be carried out on very large systems without critical slowing down. We...
