SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on converting an array of lattice points into a continuum using Taylor series expansion, specifically addressing the transformation from discrete systems to continuous ones. The lattice distance, denoted as λ, plays a crucial role in this conversion. The conversation highlights the relevance of this transformation in the context of spin excitations, particularly magnons and solitons, observed under low temperature and long wavelength limits. The participants seek clarity on the application of Taylor series in this context.
