Simulations of the two-dimensional Ising and 3-state Potts models at their critical points are performed using the invaded cluster (IC) algorithm. It is argued that observables measured on a sub-lattice of size l should exhibit a crossover…
We calculate the dynamic critical exponent for the Niedermayer algorithm applied to the two-dimensional Ising and XY models, for various values of the free parameter $E_0$. For $E_0=-1$ we regain the Metropolis algorithm and for $E_0=1$ we…

In models in statistical physics, the dynamics often slows down tremendously near the critical point. Usually, the correlation time $\tau$ at the critical point increases with system size $L$ in power-law fashion: $\tau \sim L^z$, which…
The dynamic behavior of cluster algorithms is analyzed in the classical mean field limit. Rigorous analytical results below $T_c$ establish that the dynamic exponent has the value $z_{sw}=1$ for the Swendsen-Wang algorithm and $z_{uw}=0$…
