This is the official documentation for <b>meankondo</b>, version 1.2. The aim of this document is not to give a technical description of how to use the various programs bundled with <b>meankondo</b>, nor is it to explain where hierarchical models come from and what their meaning is, but rather a conceptual overview of how <b>meankondo</b> approaches the computation of flow equations, and how its programs can be made to interact with one another to compute various quantities. For a more technical description, see the man pages included with the <b>meankondo</b> source code. For a more theoretical discussion of Fermionic hierarchical models, see <a href="http://ian.jauslin.org/publications/15bgj">[G.Benfatto, G.Gallavotti, I.Jauslin, 2015]</a>.

<li><b>external</b>: which are organized in pairs, and are denoted by \((\Psi_i^+,\Psi_i^-)\) for \(i\in\{1,\cdots,E\}\).
<li><b>super-external</b>: which denoted by \(H_i\) for \(i\in\{1,\cdots,X\}\) (the only difference with external fields is that super-external fields are not in pairs, which is a seemingly innocuous difference; but super-external fields are meant to be used for different purposes as external fields (see <a href="#flow_equation_definition">Definition</a> below)).

The fields are used as a basis for a complex algebra, so that we can take products and linear combinations of fields (in other words, the concept of <i>polynomials over the fields</i> is well defined). Some of the fields (<i>Fermions</i>) anti-commute with each other (two fields \(a\) and \(b\) are said to anti-commute if \(ab\equiv-ba\)), and the rest (<i>Bosons</i>) commute. Which fields are Fermions and which are Bosons is specified in the <code>#!fields</code> entry in the configuration file. <b>(Warning: As of version 1.2, all internal fields must be Fermions.)</b>
