A two-dimensional algorithm of the density matrix renormalization group

arXiv:cond-mat/0102200 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.64.104414

Abstract

We propose a new approach to implement the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) in two dimensions. With this approach the initial blocks of a L by L lattice are built up directly from the matrix elements of a (L-1) by L-1) lattice and the topological characteristics of two dimensional lattices is preserved in the iteration of DMRG. By applying it to the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on both square and triangle lattices, we find that this approach is significantly more efficient and accurate than other two-dimensional DMRG methods currently in use.
