The phase transitions and the thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Potts model with the number of spin states q = 4 on a triangular lattice are studied on the base of the Wang–Landau algorithm of the Monte Carlo method. The phase transition characters are analyzed using the method of the four-order Binder cumulants and the histogram analysis of the data. It is found that a first-order phase transition is observed in the model under study.
