Abstract
A three-spin-interaction Ising model, defined for any space dimensionality, exhibits a first-order phase transition within the mean-field approximation; however, in two dimensions, this model is known to undergo a second-order phase transition. Results obtained by Monte Carlo simulations on two three-dimensional samples show that the transition becomes in this case first order, in agreement with the mean-field predictions.Keywords
