Extracting the Essential (IMAGE) ETH Zurich Department of Physics Caption The output of the algorithms of Koch-Janusz and Ringel (in color) overlapped with the pattern of the underlying dimer model (in black) on a two-dimensional lattice (indicated in red). The algorithm extracts the relevant physical entities without any prior knowledge of the connectivity pattern.
