Abstract
The pressure and entropy of hard squares with attractive interactions are calculated from Monte Carlo simulations by an approach that avoids the numerical integration along a path in the thermodynamic space. Th e approach is useful whenever we are faced to a model that can be writ ten in terms of a transfer matrix. The results Coming from this direct approach are compared with those obtained from numerical thermodynami c integration.
