Description
Two models, one describing charge-density-wave formation and the other (the Ginzburg-Landau model) describing the superconducting states, are studied and shown to exhibit infinite-order critical points. Related models exhibiting a Lifshitz point, a bicritical point, and a tetracritical point are also discussed
