The spontaneous magnetization, correlation length, entropy, and specific heat are analyzed as a function of temperature for different number of states, $q$. Different scaling functions in temperature and $q$ are proposed. A quantitative agreement is found between results from both methods. No critical behavior is observed in the thermodynamic limit for any number of states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-10-18T16:12:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "89.75.Hc", "05.50.+q", "64.60.aq" ], "keywords": [ "q-state potts model", "apollonian network", "monte carlo simulations", "transfer matrix method", "thermodynamic limit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2010, "month": "Oct", "volume": 82, "number": 4, "pages": "046109" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvE..82d6109A" } } }
