Invaded cluster algorithm for Potts models.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The invaded cluster algorithm, a method for simulating phase transitions, is described in detail. Theoretical, albeit nonrigorous, justification of the method is presented and the algorithm is applied to Potts models in two and three dimensions. The algorithm is shown to be useful for both first-order and continuous transitions and evidently provides an efficient way to distinguish between these possibilities. The dynamic properties of the invaded cluster algorithm are studied. Numerical evidence suggests that the algorithm has no critical slowing for Ising models. @S1063-651X~96!09208-2#

The continuum Potts model at the disorder–order transition—a study by cluster dynamics
We investigate the continuum q-Potts model at its transition point from the disordered to the ordered regime, with particular emphasis on the coexistence of disordered and ordered phases in the high-q case. We argue that the occurrence of a phase transition can be seen as a percolation in the related random cluster representation, similarly to the lattice Potts model, and investigate the typica...
متن کاملNew Monte Carlo algorithms for classical spin systems
We describe a number of recently developed cluster-flipping algorithms for the efficient simulation of classical spin models near their critical temperature. These include the algorithms of Wolff, Swendsen and Wang, and Niedermeyer, as well as the limited cluster algorithm, the multigrid methods of Kandel and co-workers, and the invaded cluster algorithm. We describe the application of these al...
متن کاملCluster Simulations of Loop Models on Planar Lattices
Making use of the duality relation of the Ising model, we develop cluster algorithms for several loop models on planar lattices. We then investigate the O(n) model on the honeycomb lattice and faceand corner-cubic models on the square lattice. Several new physical phenomena are observed. For instance, critical exponents, which have not been reported for the O(n) model in literature, are determi...
متن کاملMultibondic Cluster Algorithm
Inspired by the multicanonical approach to simulations of rst-order phase transitions we propose for q-state Potts models a combination of cluster updates with reweighting of the bond conngurations in the Fortuin-Kastelein-Swendsen-Wang representation of this model. Numerical tests for the two-dimensional models with q = 7; 10 and 20 show that the autocorrelation times of this algorithm grow wi...
متن کاملDynamics of Clusters in Two-dimensional Potts Model
Dynamical behavior of the clusters during relaxation is studied in two-dimensional Potts model using cluster algorithm. Average cluster size and cluster formation velocity are calculated on two different lattice sizes for different number of states during initial stages of the Monte Carlo simulation. Dependence of these quantities on the order of the transition provides an efficient method to s...
