Abstract

The interactions between a group of components are commonly studied in several areas of science (social science, biology, material science, complex dynamical systems, among others) using the methods of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. In this work we study the properties of the recently proposed off-lattice, two-dimensional Potts model (Davis et al., 2014), originally motivated by the dynamics of agent opinions, and which is described by a Hamiltonian obtained by a maximum entropy inference procedure. We performed microcanonical and canonical Monte Carlo simulations of the first-order phase transition in the model, revealing a caloric curve with metastable regions. Furthermore, we report a “switching” behavior between multiple metastable states. We also note that the thermodynamics of the model has striking similarities with systems having long-range interactions, even though the interactions are short-ranged.
