Abstract: In this study, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of the q=3,4-Potts model on quasiperiodic decagonal lattices (QDL) to assess the critical behavior of these systems. Using the single histogram technique in conjunction with the finite-size scaling analysis, we estimate the infinite lattice critical temperatures and the leading critical exponents for q=3 and q=4 states. Our estimates for the critical exponents on QDL are in good agreement with the exact values on 2D periodic lattices, supporting the claim that both the q=3 and q=4 Potts model on quasiperiodic lattices belong to the same universality class as those on 2D periodic lattices.
