The continuous phase transitions are observed in the crystals with incommensurate phase. They are transitions of parent-incommensurate phases (T_i); transitions between metastable states; incommensurate-commensurate phases (T_c). It was set that phase transition between parent and incommensurate phase is a continuous second-order phase transition with a critical index β = 0.5. The transition between metastable states is a continuous phase transition through the intermediate temperature region - incommensurate phase. The wave vector changes with the temperature here and wave vectorwe q* = q₁ - q₂ appears, where q₁, q₂ denote commensurate values of incommensurability wave vector of neighboring metastable states. It was shown that the phase transition between incommensurate and commensurate phases is a continuous phase transition.
