The Magnificent Potts Model: A Computational Perspective
Abstract:
The Potts model is a popular probabilistic model of complex´systems governed by nearest neighbor interactions. Its behavior
is encoded in the so-called partition function of the model. The Potts partition function can be viewed as a special case of
the Tutte polynomial that captures a host of fundamental graph invariants, such as the chromatic, flow and reliability polynomials.
