| Oct 30, 2017 at 14:34 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | "self-consistency" is just jargon for an equation that expresses a quantity $M$ in terms of properties of the medium $F$ which themselves depend on $M$; so $M=F(M)$ is called a self-consistency equation. | |
| Oct 30, 2017 at 13:35 | comment | added | Nick Dong | arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9606196 stated that if u in the right hand of M=F(u) depend on left hand of the equation. The equation is self-consistency. So, Does it mean if something is self-consistency, there should be a function like M=F(u)? | |
| Oct 30, 2017 at 13:21 | comment | added | Nick Dong | It seems say that Mean_field_theory is self-consistent. But what is self-consistent. | |
| Oct 30, 2017 at 13:06 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | "self-consistent" refers to an approach called "mean field theory", see for example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_field_theory ; the mean-field theory of percolation is described for example in arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9606196 | |
