arXiv:1111.6405 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2012.07.014
Abstract
We present a study on the performance of Wang-Landau algorithm in a lattice model of liquid crystals which is a continuous lattice spin model. We propose a novel method of the spin update scheme in a continuous lattice spin model. The proposed scheme reduces the autocorrelation time of the simulation and results in faster convergence.
