The estimation of various matrix integrals as the size of the matrices goes to infinity is motivated by theoretical physics, geometry and free probability questions. On a rigorous ground, only integrals of one matrix or of several matrices with simple quadratic interaction (called AB interaction) could be evaluated so far. In this article, we follow an idea widely developped in the physics litterature, which is based on character expansion, to study more complex interaction. We more specifically consider a model defined in the spirit of the 'dually weighted graph model' studied by V. A. Kazakov, M. Staudacher and T. Wynter, but with a cutoff function such that the matrix integral and its character expansion converge. We prove that the free energy of this model converges as the size of the matrices go to infinity and study the saddle points of the limit.
