However, they present an efficient algorithm for the ferromagnetic case, which approximates the partitionfunction, provided that the system is consistent.
Another similar idea is to use the base pair probabilities which can be calculated from the partitionfunction algorithm.
This only changes the partitionfunction by an easily computable factor.
As a result, theorems that constrain the possible location of complex zeros of the partitionfunction are of great interest.
The partitionfunction appears just as a normalization factor here, but is, in fact, a generating function and, as such, a quantity of fundamental importance.
Before we do this we will first determine what the partitionfunction is for this system.
It is then referred to as the sequence-annealed partitionfunction.
The logarithm of this partitionfunction leads to the cluster or polymer expansion for this model.
The weightings of the different structures in the partitionfunction algorithm also depend on temperature.
Once a functional model is written down, statistical thermodynamics can be used to generate the partitionfunction.
In the calculation of the internal partitionfunction, all equilibrium populations (ground/excited states) have to be included.
In other disordered system models one is limited to small sizes since there are no algorithms for calculating the partitionfunction.
This free energy is equivalent to the form obtained from the partitionfunction in the canonical ensemble.
The partitionfunction can again be calculated with this model, and predictions can be made for the shape of the melting curve.
At the same time, it is sufficiently simple for analysis with statistical physics methods : the minimum free energy state and the partitionfunction can be calculated exactly.
This is, of course, a tremendous simplification over the evaluation of the sum of all possible states in the partitionfunction needed to obtain the free energy.
In statistical mechanics, free entropies frequently appear as the logarithm of a partitionfunction.
