We investigate the tricritical scaling behavior of the two-dimensional spin-$1$ Blume-Capel model using the Wang-Landau method measuring the joint density of states for lattice sizes up to $48\times 48$ sites. The first-order transition…

Wang-Landau simulations offer the possibility to integrate explicitly over a collective coordinate and stochastically over the remainder of configuration space. We propose to choose the so-called "slow mode", which is responsible for large…

We considered a higher-dimensional extension for the replica-exchange Wang-Landau algorithm to perform a random walk in the energy and magnetization space of the two-dimensional Ising model. This hybrid scheme combines the advantages of…

The Wang-Landau algorithm aims at sampling from a probability distribution, while penalizing some regions of the state space and favoring others. It is widely used, but its convergence properties are still unknown. We show that for some…

We use the single-cluster Monte Carlo update algorithm to simulate the Ising model on two-dimensional Poissonian random lattices with up to 80,000 sites which are linked together according to the Voronoi/Delaunay prescription. In one set of…

It is shown in this work how the Wang-Landau algorithm can be parallelized through the concept of the micromagnetic ensemble, when the Hamiltonian contains both spin interaction and the external field terms, and thus energy-magnetization…
