Abstract
The behavior of the order parameter in a 'potential well' in the vicinity o f a phase transition of the second kind has been studied. It is shown that in a one-dimensional case the order parameter is discretized similarly to t he transitions of the first kind, and discretization conditions are obtaine d.
