A vertex configuration can also be represented as a polygonal vertex figure showing the faces around the vertex. This vertex figure has a 3-dimensional structure since the faces are not in the same plane for polyhedra, but for vertex-uniform polyhedra all the neighboring vertices are in the same plane and so this plane projection can be used to visually represent the vertex configuration.
The value is the energy associated with vertex configuration number . One aims to calculate the partition function Z {\displaystyle Z} of an ice-type model, which is given by the formula Z = ∑ exp ( − E / k B T ) , {\displaystyle Z=\sum \exp(-E/k_{\rm {B}}T),}
The position of a single particle moving in ordinary Euclidean 3-space is defined by the vector = (,,), and therefore its configuration space is =.It is conventional to use the symbol for a point in configuration space; this is the convention in both the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics, and in Lagrangian mechanics.
Other methods also exist for describing polygonal tilings. When the tessellation is made of regular polygons, the most common notation is the vertex configuration, which is simply a list of the number of sides of the polygons around a vertex. The square tiling has a vertex configuration of 4.4.4.4, or 4 4.
As with the ice-type models, the eight-vertex model is a square lattice model, where each state is a configuration of arrows at a vertex.The allowed vertices have an even number of arrows pointing towards the vertex; these include the six inherited from the ice-type model (1-6), sinks (7), and sources (8).
A vertex model is a type of statistical mechanics model in which the Boltzmann weights are associated with a vertex in the model (representing an atom or particle). [1] [2] This contrasts with a nearest-neighbour model, such as the Ising model, in which the energy, and thus the Boltzmann weight of a statistical microstate is attributed to the bonds connecting two neighbouring particles.
In the Feynman expansion, this contributes H terms with one half-line ending on a vertex. Lines in a Feynman diagram can now end either on an X vertex, or on an H vertex, and only one line enters an H vertex. The Feynman rule for an H vertex is that a line from an H with momentum k gets a factor of h(k).
In the simplest case, shown in the first picture, we are given a finite set of points {, …} in the Euclidean plane.In this case each site is one of these given points, and its corresponding Voronoi cell consists of every point in the Euclidean plane for which is the nearest site: the distance to is less than or equal to the minimum distance to any other site .
