Abstract
Performance of Wang-Landau (W-L) algorithm in two continuous spin models is tested by determining the fluctuations in energy histogram. Finite size scaling is performed on a modified XY-model using different W-L sampling schemes. Difficulties faced in simulating relatively large continuous systems using W-L algorithm are discussed.
