Abstract
We present a multiprobe recursive Green's function method to compute the transport properties of mesoscopic systems using the Landauer-B\"uttiker approach. By introducing an adaptive partition scheme, we map the multiprobe problem into the standard two-probe recursive Green's function method. We apply the method to compute the longitudinal and Hall resistances of a disordered graphene sample, a system of current interest. We show that the performance and accuracy of our method compares very well with other state-of-the-art schemes.
