We investigate the finite size corrections to the equilibrium magnetization of an Ising model on a random graph with $N$ nodes and $N^{\gamma}$ edges, with $1 < \gamma \leq 2$. By conveniently rescaling the coupling constant, the free…
Finite-size (FS) effects are a major source of error in many-body (MB) electronic structure calculations of extended systems. A method is presented to correct for such errors. We show that MB FS effects can be effectively included in a…
We propose a numerical method based on the master field for large-$N$ reduced matrix models. While the master field is originally an infinite-dimensional matrix, in this method it is regularized to a finite dimension, with the requirement…
Consider the length $L_{MM}^E$ of the minimum matching of N points in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Using numerical simulations and the finite size scaling law $< L_{MM}^E > = \beta_{MM}^E(d) N^{1-1/d}(1+A/N+... )$, we obtain precise…
We extend the post-processing finite-size (FS) correction method, developed by Kwee, Zhang, and Krakauer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 126404 (2008)], to spin polarized systems. The method estimates the FS effects in many-body electronic structure…
