The profiles of first-going-negative equilibrium distributions f α eq as a function of U. The figure only renders the positive U-axis. Since all lattices in the figure are symmetric, the positivity on the negative U-axis is the same though the corresponding v α turns to v α . The line with symbol is for f α eq with v α = 0 and c = 1 / 2 RT = 1.2247 which, as U increases, first goes negative in all equilibrium distributions of { 0 , ± 1 } ; is for v α = 5 and c=0.3442 in { 0 , ± 2 , ± 5 } ; is for v α = 3 and c=0.5534 in {0,±1,±3}; is for v α = 2 and c=0.8464 in {0,±1,±2,±3}; is for v α = 5 and c=0.4794 in {0,±1,±2,±3,±5}; is for v α = 3 and c=0.6859 in {0,±1,±2,±3,±4,±5}. The inner panel renders their intersections with the U-axis, above which the f α eq will become negative. The specific values of intersections for { , , , , , } are ∼{0.82, 1.70, 1.15, 0.76, 1.25, 0.98}. Since the plotted f α eq curves are the first-going-negative equilibrium distributions, then the inner panel demonstrates the lattices positivity range of U.
