Dynamic Exponents for Potts Model Cluster Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the Swendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster update algorithms for the Ising model in 2, 3 and 4 dimensions. The data indicate simple relations between the specific heat and the Wolff autocorrelations, and between the magnetization and the Swendsen-Wang autocorrelations. This implies that the dynamic critical exponents are related to the static exponents of the Ising model. We also investigate the possibility of similar relationships for the Q-state Potts model.

Single-cluster dynamics for the random-cluster model.
We formulate a single-cluster Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of the random-cluster model. This algorithm is a generalization of the Wolff single-cluster method for the q-state Potts model to noninteger values q>1. Its results for static quantities are in a satisfactory agreement with those of the existing Swendsen-Wang-Chayes-Machta (SWCM) algorithm, which involves a full-cluster deco...
متن کاملSimulation algorithms for the random-cluster model.
We compare the performance of Monte Carlo algorithms for the simulation of the random-cluster representation of the q-state Potts model for continuous values of q. In particular we consider a local bond update method, a statistical reweighting method of percolation configurations, and a cluster algorithm, all of which generate Boltzmann statistics. The dynamic exponent z of the cluster algorith...
متن کاملDynamic critical behavior of cluster algorithms for 2 D Ashkin – Teller and Potts models ∗
We study the dynamic critical behavior of two algorithms: the Swendsen– Wang algorithm for the two-dimensional Potts model with q = 2, 3, 4 and a Swendsen–Wang–type algorithm for the two-dimensional symmetric Ashkin– Teller model on the self-dual curve. We find that the Li–Sokal bound on the autocorrelation time τint,E ≥ const × CH is almost, but not quite sharp. The ratio τint,E/CH appears to ...
متن کاملA Cluster Method for the Ashkin–Teller Model
A cluster Monte Carlo algorithm for the Ashkin-Teller (AT) model is constructed according to the guidelines of a general scheme for such algorithms. Its dynamical behaviour is tested for the square lattice AT model. We perform simulations on the line of critical points along which the exponents vary continuously, and find that critical slowing down is significantly reduced. We find continuous v...
متن کاملPotts Models and Random-cluster Processes with Many-body Interactions
Geoffrey Grimmett Abstra t. Known differential inequalities for certain ferromagnetic Potts models with pairinteractions may be extended to Potts models with many-body interactions. As a major application of such differential inequalities, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the set of interactions of such a Potts model in order that its critical point be a strictly monotonic funct...
