Complexions of an Assembly of Quasi-Independent Localized Systems
David H. Trevena · American Journal of Physics · 1964
The total number of complexions of an assembly of quasi-independent localized systems is equal to the sum of a large number of terms. It is usually assumed that only the greatest term in this sum makes any significant contribution to the sum. A simple way of illustrating the increasing accuracy of the assumption with increasing numbers of systems is considered in this paper.
