The approach is based on the modified Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equations in combination with a phenomenological relaxational dynamics used as a numerical tool. For all temperatures and all bond configurations stable and meta stable states are found. Following a discussion of the finite size effects, the static properties of the state of lowest free energy are presented in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field for all temperatures below the spin glass temperature. Moreover some characteristic features of the meta stable states are presented. These states exist in finite temperature intervals and disappear via local saddle node bifurcations. Numerical evidence is found that the excess free energy of the meta stable states remains finite in the thermodynamic limit. This implies a the `multi-valley' structure of the free energy on a sub-extensive scale.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-04-08T16:11:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "modified thouless-anderson-palmer equations", "sherrington-kirkpatrick spin glass", "numerical solutions", "free energy", "meta stable states remains finite" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
