Monte Carlo simulations of magnetization and susceptibility in the 3D XY model are performed for system sizes up to L=384 (significantly exceeding the largest size L=160 considered in work published previously), and fields h ≥ 0.0003125 at two different coupling constants β=0.5, and β=0.55...

We study the relevance of including information about rejected Monte-Carlo moves in path-sampling computations of free energies. For this purpose, we define webs as sets of paths linked by the path-sampling scheme and introduce an associated statistical ensemble. Within this web ensemble, we...

An array of silicon nanoclusters aimed at producing light emission upon injection of electrons and holes from external sources is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The conditions for obtaining a significant charge accumulation in the emitting nanoclusters are investigated as a function of...

We discuss two models of opinion dynamics. We first present a brief review of the Hegselmann and Krause (HK) compromise model in two dimensions, showing that it is possible to simulate the dynamics in the limit of an infinite number of agents by solving numerically a rate equation for a...

In this work we study the condition number of the least square matrix corresponding to scale free networks. We compute a theoretical lower bound of the condition number which proves that they are ill conditioned. Also, we analyze several matrices from networks generated with Linear Preferential...

We perform Transition matrix Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the entropy of rhombus tilings with fixed polygonal boundaries and 2D-fold rotational symmetry. We estimate the large-size limit of this entropy for D=4 to 10. We confirm analytic predictions of [N. Destainville et al., J. Stat....

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 the present scheme are compared with those of the Metropolis algorithm. We consider interactions in the range where...

Using the Monte Carlo simulation method for bosonic reaction-diffusion systems introduced recently [S.-C. Park, Phys. Rev. E <Emphasis Type="Bold">72, 036111 (2005)], one dimensional bosonic models are studied and compared to the corresponding Langevin equations derived from the coherent state path integral...</emphasis>

We study the lattice gas with nearest-neighbor exclusion on the square lattice and Kawasaki (hopping) dynamics, under the influence of a nonuniform drive, via Monte Carlo simulation. The drive, which favors motion along the +x direction and inhibits motion in the opposite direction, varies...
