The surprising convergence of the Monte Carlo renormalization group for the d=3 Ising Model
Dorit Ron, Achi Brandt, Robert H. Swendsen
We present a surprisingly simple approach to high-accuracy calculations of critical properties of the three-dimensional Ising model. The method uses a modified block-spin transform…

Detecting Multi-Spin Interactions in the Inverse Ising Problem
Joseph Albert, Robert H. Swendsen
While the usual goal in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of Ising models is the efficient generation of spin configurations with Boltzmann probabilities, the inverse problem is to dete…

Resolving the debate about proposed expressions for the classical entropy
Robert H. Swendsen
Despite well over a century of effort, the proper expression for the classical entropy in statistical mechanics remains a subject of debate. The Boltzmann entropy (calculated from…
