	A '''phase transition''' is the transformation of a system from one global phase or state to another, for example from an ordered to a disordered phase.

In Graph Theory, the term phase transition is used in the sense of [[Bifurcation]]: an abrupt change in a system's properties depending on the number of edges.

A '''phase transition''' is the transformation of a system from one global phase or state to another, for example from an ordered to a disordered phase. The term is most commonly used to describe transitions in thermodynamics between solid, liquid and gaseous states of matter.

In Graph Theory, the term phase transition is used in the sense of [[Bifurcation]]: an abrupt change in a system's properties depending on the number of edges. Phase transition also occur in cellular automata, ising models, and membranes.
