We report tests of the recently proposed multicanonical multigrid Monte Carlo method for the two-dimensional $\Phi^4$ field theory. Defining an effective autocorrelation time we obtain real time improvement factors of about one order of…
To further improve the performance of Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions we propose to combine the multicanonical approach with multigrid techniques. We report tests of this proposition for the $d$-dimensional $\Phi^4$…
In the past few years considerable progress has been made in Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions and in the analysis of the resulting finite-size data. In this paper special emphasis will be placed on multicanonical…
We demonstrate that substantial progress can be achieved in the study of the phase structure of 4-dimensional compact QED by a joint use of hybrid Monte Carlo and multicanonical algorithms, through an efficient parallel implementation. This…
We modified the recently proposed multicanonical MC algorithm for the case of a magnetic field driven order--order phase transition. We test this {\it multimagnetic} Monte Carlo algorithm for the D=2 Ising model at $\beta=0.5$ and simulate…

To investigate order-order interfaces, we perform multimagnetical Monte Carlo simulations of the $2D$ and $3D$ Ising model. Stringent tests of the numerical methods are performed by reproducing with high precision exact $2D$ results. In the…
We study the kinematics of multigrid Monte Carlo algorithms by means of acceptance rates for nonlocal Metropolis update proposals. An approximation formula for acceptance rates is derived. We present a comparison of different coarse-to-fine…
We present a new method for investigating first-order phase transitions using Monte Carlo simulations. It relies on the multiple-histogram method and uses solely histograms of individual phases. In addition, we extend the method to include…
The interface tension in the three-dimensional Ising model in the low temperature phase is investigated by means of the Monte Carlo method. Together with other physically relevant quantities it is obtained from a calculation of time-slice…
Relying on the recently proposed multicanonical algorithm, we present a numerical simulation of the first order phase transition in the 2d 10-state Potts model on lattices up to sizes $100\times100$. It is demonstrated that the new…
We study the dynamic critical behavior of the multi-grid Monte Carlo (MGMC) algorithm with piecewise-constant interpolation and a W-cycle, applied to the one-dimensional $O(4)$-symmetric nonlinear $\sigma$-model [= $SU(2)$ principal chiral…
We present extensive Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional XY model with a modified form of interaction potential. Thermodynamic quantities other than energy, specific heat etc (such as magnetization, susceptibility, fourth order…
We report results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the $\phi^4$ quantum field theory using multigrid simulation techniques and a refined discretization scheme. The resulting accuracy of our data allows for a significant test of an analytical…
Monte Carlo simulations of quantum field theories on a lattice become increasingly expensive as the continuum limit is approached since the cost per independent sample grows with a high power of the inverse lattice spacing. Simulations on…
The investigation of phase coexistence in systems with multi-component order parameters in finite systems is discussed, and as a generic example, Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional q-state Potts model (q=30) on LxL square…
We present a novel implementation of the parallel tempering Monte Carlo method in a multicanonical ensemble. Multicanonical weights are derived by a self-consistent iterative process using a Boltzmann inversion of global energy histograms.…
I present a cluster Monte Carlo algorithm that gives direct access to the interface free energy of Ising models. The basic idea is to simulate an ensemble that consists of both configurations with periodic and with antiperiodic boundary…
The trace of a matrix function f(A), most notably of the matrix inverse, can be estimated stochastically using samples< x,f(A)x> if the components of the random vectors x obey an appropriate probability distribution. However such a…
I present a summary of recent algorithmic developments for lattice field theories. In particular I give a pedagogical introduction to the new Multicanonical algorithm, and discuss the relation between the Hybrid Overrelaxation and Hybrid…
