Finally got things working pretty well. Plot 16 was a nice result, generated by >> Master(10,9,-5,1,20,1,200); Between iterations 130-180 it shows a halo of the excess particles around a BCS condensate. For the other iterations, n_up==n_down is stuck. The getting stuck thing seems to happen a lot with strong interactions (large U). Unsticking them requires mu_down to get very small, near 1, which is strange considering that it should be up around 8 or 9 in the non-interacting case. As we increase the temperature we find that the condensate starts to dissolve. The critical temperature Tc is about the same as U for small polarizations. For polarizations like (10,9), U=-5, kT=3 condenses, kT=4 barely condenses (Delta increasing at iteration 200), and kT=5 does not condense (Delta -> 0). For polarizations like (10,7), U=-5, kT=3 condenses, while kT=4 barely does not condense (Delta decreasing at iteration 200). For polarizations like (10,2), U=-5, kT=3 does not condense at all. Higher polarisations thus make it harder for _any_ condensation to occur. Condensation either happens or doesn't happen - you can't get stable Delta=0.2. Final runs: 01 Master(10,9,-1,1,25,1,2000); Converged (25 iterations) mu_up = 9.089844, mu_down = 8.145312, N_up = 10.008227, N_down = 9.017796 02 10 9 -3 1 1 3 10 9 -3 3 1 4 10 9 -5 1 1 Condensed very easily. 5 10 9 -5 3 1 Still condensing. 6 10 9 -5 4 1 Just barely condensed.
