Let (lambda_d)(p) be the p monomer-dimer entropy on the d-dimensional integer lattice Z^d, where p in [0,1] is the dimer density. We give upper and lower bounds for (lambda_d)(p) in terms of expressions involving (lambda_(d-1))(q). The…

In the monomer-polymer model, a linear rigid polymer covers $k$ adjacent lattice sites, with no lattice site occupied by more than one polymer. The polymers are called $k$-mers, and those unoccupied lattice sites are called monomers. The…

In previous papers an asymptotic expansion for the dimer lambda_d of the form lambda_d ~ (1/2)ln(2d) - 1/2 + c_1/d + c_2/d^2 ... was developed. Kernels J_n were a key ingredient in the theory. Herein we prove J_n are of the form J_n =…
