In this letter, we show how one can solve easily the Potts-3 + branching in
teractions and Potts-infinity matrix models, by the means of the equations
of motion (loop equations). We give an algebraic equation for the resolvent
s of these models, and their scaling behaviour. This shows that the equatio
ns of motion can be a useful tool for solving such models. (C) 1999 Elsevie
