Abstract: The multicritical behavior of the Blume-Capel model with infinite-range interactions is investigated by introducing quenched disorder in the crystal field $Delt{a}_i$, which is represented by a superposition of two Gaussian distributions with the same width $sigma$, centered at $Delt{a}_i=Delta$ and $Delt{a}_i=0$, with probabilities $p$ and $(1-p)$, respectively. A rich variety of phase diagrams is presented, and their distinct topologies are shown for different values of $sigma$ and $p$. The tricritical behavior is analyzed through the existence of fourth-order critical points as well as how the complexity of the phase diagrams is reduced by the strength of the disorder.
