""" Numerical computation for: Monomer-Dimer Entropy on the Square Lattice The monomer-dimer problem asks for the entropy per site of configurations where each site is either covered by a dimer (shared with a neighbor) or left as a monomer. At monomer fugacity z, the partition function on an m×n rectangle is: Z_{m,n}(z) = sum over matchings (z^{#monomers}) The entropy per site in the thermodynamic limit: s(z) = lim_{m,n->infty} (1/(mn)) log Z_{m,n}(z) KNOWN RESULTS: - z=0 (perfect matchings only, even m,n): s(0) = G/pi (Kasteleyn / Temperley-Fisher) - For z > 0, no closed form is known in general. - At z = 1 (all matchings equally weighted), the square-lattice monomer-dimer constant is s(1) ≈ 0.662798972834... (Kong, 2006, cond-mat/0610690 reports 0.662798972834 with ~11 correct digits; see also Butera et al. 2012 for tight bounds.)
