An improved Metropolis algorithm for hard core systems

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v2 Computational Physics

Abstract

We present an improved Metropolis algorithm for arbitrary hard core systems in any dimensions. In the new updating scheme the conventional Metropolis step of a single particle is replaced by a collective step of a chain of particles. For the two-dimensional hard sphere model we show that this algorithm essentially reduces autocorrelation times in vicinity of the transition point.
