Abstract
A universal (supervised) neural network (NN), which is only trained once on a one-dimensional lattice of 200 sites, is employed to study the phase transition of the two-dimensional (2D) 5-state ferromagnetic Potts model on the square lattice. In particular, the NN is obtained by using merely two artificially made configurations as the training set. Due to the elegant features of the considered NN, results associated with systems consisting of over 4000000 spins can be obtained with ease, and convincing evidence showing the investigated phase transition is weakly first order is reached. The outcomes demonstrated here can hardly be achieved with the standard NNs that are commonly used in the literature.
