We study the phase diagrams for the Potts model with restricted competing nearest-neighbor interactions J 1 and ternary interactions J pt on a Cayley tree of arbitrary order k. At vanishing temperature, the phase diagram is fully determined for all values and signs of J pt /J 1 and T/J 1. The phase diagrams are obtained from stability conditions, a
