We study examples of one-dimensional matrix models whose potentials possess an energy spectrum that can be explicitly determined. This allows for an exact solution in the continuum limit. Specifically, step-like potentials and the Morse potential are considered. The step-like potentials show no scaling behavior and the Morse potential (which corresponds to a γ=−1 model) has the interesting feature that there are no quantum corrections to the scaling behavior in the continuum limit.

The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in Ref. 1, which possess the W-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in detail. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality class as the standard multi-matrix models. In particular, the transformation of the W-algebra at the discrete level into the continuum one of the papers2 is proposed and the corresponding partition functions compared. All calculations are demonstrated in full in the first nontrivial case of W(3)-constraints.

We propose random matrix models which have N=1/2 supersymmetry in zero dimension. The supersymmetry breaks down spontaneously. It is shown that the double scaling limit can be defined in these models and the breakdown of the supersymmetry remains in the continuum limit. The exact non-trivial partition functions of the string theories corresponding to these matrix models are also obtained.

The mean procedure of Faddeev-Reshetikhin with non-Abelian automorphism groups is applied to construct generalizations of the open Toda sl(n, C) chain. These models admit a consistent reduction to integrable generalized Volterra models. An example of such models is analyzed: it leads in the continuum limit to the [Formula: see text] Hirota differential system, associated with two-matrix models of discrete gravity. The continuum limit of the general Volterra models and their relation with discretized versions of Wn-algebra are analyzed.

The generating function that gives rise to the orbifold Euler characteristic of the moduli space of punctured compact Rieman surfaces [Formula: see text], g ≥ 0 is derived explicitly. In the derivation, we show that we do not need to use the three-term recursion relation for the orthogonal polynomials. Also the continuum limit of Penner's connected generating function is considered and is shown to be formally equivalent to the free energy obtained recently by Distler and Vafa which exhibits the logarithmic divergences found for genus zero and one in D = 1 matrix models. Finally, it is shown that the free energy and its s-derivatives are nothing but the continuum limit of a certain generating function introduced by Harer and Zagier in obtaining the true Euler characteristic with any number of punctures,[Formula: see text], s ≥ 0.

The Weingarten lattice gauge model of Nambu-Goto strings is generalized to allow for fluctuations of an intrinsic worldsheet metric through a dynamical quadrilation. The continuum limit is taken for c≤1 matter, reproducing the results of Hermitian matrix models to all orders in the genus expansion. For the compact c=1 case the vortices are Wilson lines, whose exclusion leads to the theory of non-interacting fermions. As a by-product of the analysis one finds the critical behavior of SOS and vertex models coupled to 2D quantum gravity.

We develop and analyse a discrete, one-dimensional model of cell motility which incorporates the effects of volume filling, cell-to-cell adhesion and chemotaxis. The formal continuum limit of the model is a non-linear generalisation of the parabolic-elliptic Keller–Segel equations, with a diffusivity which can become negative if the adhesion coefficient is large. The consequent ill-posedness results in the appearance of spatial oscillations and the development of plateaus in numerical solutions of the underlying discrete model. A global-existence result is obtained for the continuum equations in the case of favourable parameter values and data, and a steady-state analysis, which, amongst other things, accounts for high-adhesion plateaus, is carried out. For ill-posed cases, a singular Stefan-problem formulation of the continuum limit is written down and solved numerically, and the numerical solutions are compared with those of the original discrete model.
