Abstract :
Building on earlier approaches, the geometric cluster algorithm permits the efficient simulation of cases in which conventional simulation methods fail, such as mixtures of different-sized particles. Starting from the celebrated Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm, the author describes the development of cluster methods for magnetic systems and their connection with the geometric cluster algorithm
