Free energy equivalence between mean-field models and nonsparsely diluted mean-field models

We studied nonsparsely diluted mean-field models that differ from sparsely diluted mean-field models, such as the Viana-Bray model. When the existence probability of each edge follows a Bernoulli distribution, we rigorously prove that the free energy of nonsparsely diluted mean-field models with appropriate parameterization coincides exactly with that of the corresponding mean-field models in ferromagnetic and spin-glass models composed of any discrete spin S in the thermodynamic limit. Our results is a broad generalization of the result of a previous study (Bovier and Gayrard 1993 J. Stat. Phys. 72 643), where the densely diluted mean-field ferromagnetic Ising model (diluted Curie-Weiss model) with appropriate parameterization was analyzed rigorously, and it was proven that its free energy was exactly equivalent to that of the corresponding mean-field model (Curie-Weiss model).
