Abstract

top
Many processes in natural and social sciences can be modeled by systems of interacting objects. It is usually very difficult to obtain analytic expressions describing time evolution and equilibrium behavior of such systems. Very often we rely only on computer simulations. Fortunately, in many cases one can construct useful approximation schemes and derive exact results which capture some specific features of a given process. A frequent approach is to replace interactions between objects by a mean interaction. Here we illustrate a self-consistent mean-field approximation in two examples: the Ising model of interacting spins and a simple model of a self-regulating gene.
