Abstract
In this study, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of the -Potts model on quasiperiodic decagonal lattices (QDL) to assess the critical behavior of these systems. Using the single histogram technique in conjunction with the finite-size scaling analysis, we estimate the infinite lattice critical temperatures and the leading critical exponents for and states. Our estimates for the critical exponents on QDL are in good agreement with the exact values on 2D periodic lattices, supporting the claim that both the and Potts model on quasiperiodic lattices belong to the same universality class as those on 2D periodic lattices.
