<strong>for</strong> some real β . Again, the denominator does not depend on x( s ) and is only a<br />

normalizing factor. This model is called the Potts model (Binder, 1979; Wu, 1982;<br />

Binder et al., 1992). Note that, #{ t∈<br />

N : x( t) ≠ x( s )} is the number <strong>of</strong> neighbours <strong>of</strong> s<br />

s<br />

that have values different from x( s ) . Hence, if β >0 this model gives large probabilities<br />

to configurations x in which there are many neighbours with different values. If β
