Abstract
This research provides a examination of transitions within the various-state Potts model in two-dimensional finite-size lattices. Leveraging the Wang–Landau sampling and parallel tempering, we systematically obtain the density of states, facilitating a comprehensive comparative analysis of the results. The determination of the third-order transitions location are achieved through a meticulous examination of the density of states using microcanonical inflection-point analysis. The remarkable alignment between canonical and microcanonical results for higher-order transition locations affirms the universality of these transitions. Our results further illustrate the universality of the robust and microcanonical inflection-point analysis of Wang–Landau sampling.
