The spectra of local minima in spin-glass models

Resumo

The spectra of spin models have been investigated in computation experiments. For the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and Edwards-Anderson models we have determined the basic spectral characteristics: the average depth of a local minimum, the spectrum width, the depth of the global minimum. The experimental data are used to build the relations between these quantities and the model dimensionality N and find their asymptotic values for N→ ∞.
