In the paper we consider an Ising model with four competing interactions (external field, nearest neighbor, second neighbors and triples of neighbors) on the Cayley tree of order two.We show that for some parameter values of the model there is a phase transition. Our second result gives complete description of the periodic Gibbs measures for the mo

In the paper, the one-dimensional model with nearest-neighbor interactions In, n ∈ Z, and the s pin values ±1 is considered. It is known that, under some conditions on parameters of In, a phase transition occurs for this model. We define the notion of a phase separation point between two phases. We prove that the expectation value of this point
