  "abstract": "We study the Blume-Capel model on the square lattice. To allow for wetting and interfacial adsorption, the spins on opposite boundaries are fixed in two different states, \"+1\" and \"-1\", with reduced couplings at one of the boundaries. Using mainly Monte Carlo techniques, of Metropolis and Wang-Landau type, phase diagrams showing bulk and wetting transitions are determined. The role of the non-boundary state, \"0\", adsorbed preferably at the interface between \"-1\" and \"+1\" rich regions, is elucidated.",
