Abstract
The dynamic critical behavior of the two-replica cluster algorithm is studied. Several versions of the algorithm are applied to the two-dimensional, square lattice Ising model with a staggered field. The dynamic exponent for the full algorithm is found to be less than 0.4. It is found that odd translations of one replica with respect to the other together with global flips are essential for obtaining a small value of the dynamic exponent.
