The zeros of the size-$n$ partition functions for a statistical mechanical model can be used to help understand the critical behaviour of the model as $n\to\infty$. Here we use weighted Dyck paths as a simple model of two-dimensional…

Phase transitions are one of the most interesting natural phenomena. For finite systems, one of the concerns in the topic is how to classify a specific transition as being of first, second, or even of a higher order, according to the…
Although partition functions of finite-size systems are always analytic, and hence have no poles, they can be expressed in many cases as series containing terms with poles. Here we show that such poles can be related to linear branches of…
