AbstractIt is shown that diffusion in the hard-square and hard-octahedron lattice gases at high particle concentration has cooperative properties resembling molecular relaxation in undercooled liquids near the glass transition. For these models a characteristic length of cooperativity is introduced by an underlying percolation problem, which determines whether permanently blocked particles exist in lattices of finite size. The percolation problem belongs to a general class of bootstrap percolation models. Salient Monte Carlo results for the concentration and size dependence of self diffusion in the hard-square lattice gas are presented. Similarities with the n-spin facilitated kinetic Ising models are also pointed out.

In driven lattice-gas models, the enhanced material transport along the interfaces results in an instability of the planar interfaces and leads to the formation of multistrip states. To study the interfacial instability, Monte Carlo simulations are performed on different square lattice-gas models. The amplification rate of a periodic perturbation depends on the wave number k; it has a positive maximum at a characteristic value of k on the analogy of the Mullins-Sekerka instability. Significant differences have been found in the dependence of amplification rate on k when comparing the systems with nearest neighbor repulsive and nearest and next-nearest neighbor attractive interactions. The results agree qualitatively with theories neglecting the fluctuations.

We study the class of cellular automata that generalizes the Lorentz lattice gases in statistical mechanics, the models of industrious ants in the theory of an artificial life and the so-called Tur-mites (many-dimensional Turing machines). We prove that on the square lattice ℤd, d = 2, the existence of a bounded orbit of a particle (ant, machine) determines all nondegenerate local scattering rules (states of a machine). For higher dimensional (d ≥ 3) cubic lattices we show that under some natural conditions all possible bounded orbits (vortices) can live only in some “vortex sheets” that have a dimension strictly less than d.
