Description
Summary:The approach developed by Thompson for the Ising model is used to calculate the free energy of the Potts model on the Bethe lattice. This is accomplished by introducing a simplification in obtaining the recursion relationship for the local magnetization and a generalization of the hyperbolic functions.
