In this paper, we consider the Potts model with competing interactions on the Cayley tree of order three. We give the Potts model on the Cayley tree and its recursion relation. We construct the Gibbs states corresponding to the model by using Markov random field method. We calculate the critical curve, such that there is a phase transition for the model. We show that there are phase transition of the model for some given parameters. We extend the results obtained by Akin and Temir (Condensed Matt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
