We present transfer matrices for the zero-temperature partition function of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet (equivalently, the chromatic polynomial) on cyclic and Möbius strips of the square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices of width Ly and arbitrarily great length Lx. We relate these...

We present the numbers of dimer–monomers Md(n) on the Sierpinski gasket SGd(n) at stage n with dimension d equal to two, three and four. The upper and lower bounds for the asymptotic growth constant, defined as zSGd=limv→∞lnMd(n)/v where v is the number of vertices on SGd(n), are derived...

The q-state Potts model partition function (equivalent to the Tutte polynomial) for a lattice strip of fixed width Ly and arbitrary length Lx has the form Z(G,q,v)=∑j=1NZ,G,λcZ,G,j(λZ,G,j)Lx, where v is a temperature-dependent variable. The special case of the zero-temperature...

We present exact calculations of the zero-temperature partition function for the q-state Potts antiferromagnet (equivalently, the chromatic polynomial) for families of arbitrarily long strip graphs of the square and triangular lattices with width Ly=4 and boundary conditions that are doubly...

We present a method for calculating transfer matrices for the q-state Potts model partition functions Z(G,q,v), for arbitrary q and temperature variable v, on strip graphs G of the square (sq), triangular (tri), and honeycomb (hc) lattices of width Ly vertices and of arbitrarily great length Lx...

We present exact solutions for the zero-temperature partition function (chromatic polynomial P) and the ground state degeneracy per site W(= exponent of the ground-state entropy) for the q-state Potts antiferromagnet on strips of the square lattice of width Ly vertices and arbitrarily great...

In this paper we present exact calculations of the partition function Z of the q-state Potts model and its generalization to real q, for arbitrary temperature on n-vertex strip graphs, of width Ly=2 and arbitrary length, of the triangular lattice with free, cyclic, and Möbius longitudinal...

We present exact calculations of the partition function of the q-state Potts model for general q and temperature on strips of the square lattice of width Ly=3 vertices and arbitrary length Lx with periodic longitudinal boundary conditions, of the following types: (i) (FBCy,PBCx)= cyclic, (ii)...

We present a method for calculating transfer matrices for the q-state Potts model partition functions Z(G,q,v), for arbitrary q and temperature variable v, on cyclic and Möbius strip graphs G of the square (sq), triangular (tri), and honeycomb (hc) lattices of width Ly vertices and of...

We consider the q-state Potts model on families of self-dual strip graphs GD of the square lattice of width Ly and arbitrarily great length Lx, with periodic longitudinal boundary conditions. The general partition function Z and the T=0 antiferromagnetic special case P (chromatic polynomial)...
