Abstract:
A review is presented on the methods of the theory of singularities applied to the Landau phenomenological theory of phase transitions. Constructive algorithms are presented that eliminate arbitrariness in the choice of the Landau potential and make it possible to exclude from consideration models with nonphysical results. The methods of singularity theory are illustrated by application to several real thermodynamic systems.
