We present a modified Wang-Landau algorithm for models with continuous degrees of
freedom. We demonstrate this algorithm with the calculation of the joint density of states of …

The relative performances of different implementations of the Wang-Landau method are
assessed on two classes of systems with continuous degrees of freedom, namely, two …

The Ising model with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions of the
coupling constants J 1 and J 2, respectively, is investigated on a square lattice. For J 1= 2 …

We apply a new entropic scheme to study the critical behavior of the square-lattice Ising
model with nearest-and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions. Estimates of …

In this Brief Report, the convergence of the 1∕ t and Wang-Landau algorithms in the
calculation of multidimensional numerical integrals is analyzed. Both simulation methods …

We apply the recently developed critical minimum-energy subspace scheme for the
investigation of the random-field Ising model. We point out that this method is well suited for …

We show that accurate insights into the critical properties of the Blume–Capel model at two
dimensions can be deduced from Monte Carlo simulations, even for small system sizes …

We study the pure and random-bond versions of the square lattice ferromagnetic Blume-
Capel model, in both the first-order and second-order phase transition regimes of the pure …

The effects of bond randomness on the phase diagram and critical behavior of the square
lattice ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model are discussed. The system is studied in both the …

We study the question of universality in the two-dimensional spin-1 Baxter-Wu model in the
presence of a crystal field Δ. We employ extensive numerical simulations of two types …
