The welding of high strength low alloy (X-65 HSLA) steels is essential for manufacturing, which inevitably affects the structural performance of the final product through the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld joints as a result of the thermal cycles that the steel experiences during welding. In fact, there is general agreement th

In this paper, the λ-model with nearest neighbor interactions is considered with competing Potts interactions on the Cayley tree of order-two. Notice that if λ-function is taken as a Potts interaction function, then this model reduces to the Potts model with competing interactions. The Potts model with considered interactions has only been numeri
