The laminations of a crystal near an anti-continuum limit    [PDF]

Vincent Knibbeler, Blaz Mramor, Bob Rink
The anti-continuum limit of a monotone variational recurrence relation consists of a lattice of uncoupled particles in a periodic background. This limit supports many trivial equilibrium states that persist as solutions of the model with small coupling. We investigate when a persisting solution generates a so-called lamination and prove that near the anti-continuum limit the collection of laminations of solutions is homeomorphic to the (N-1)-dimensional simplex, with N the number of distinct local minima of the background potential. This generalizes a result by Baesens and MacKay on twist maps near an anti-integrable limit.
