Equilibriumlike extension of the invaded cluster algorithm

Statistical Mechanics 2008-05-07 v1

Abstract

We propose an extension of the nonequilibrium invaded cluster (IC) algorithm, which reestablishes a correct scaling of fluctuations at criticality and also self-adjusts to the critical temperature. We show that by introducing a single constraint to the intrinsic quantity of the IC algorithm the temperature becomes well defined and the sampling of the equilibrium ensemble is regained. The procedure is applied to the Potts model in two and three dimensions.
