Performance of Wang-Landau algorithm in continuous spin models and a case study : modified XY-model

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

Performance of Wang-Landau (W-L) algorithm in two continuous spin models is tested by determining the fluctuations in energy histogram. Finite size scaling is performed on a modified XY-model using different W-L sampling schemes. Difficulties faced in simulating relatively large continuous systems using W-L algorithm are discussed.
