Order N Monte Carlo Algorithm for Fermion Systems Coupled with Fluctuating Adiabatical Fields

Original · EN

An improved algorithm is proposed for Monte Carlo methods to study fermion systems interacting with adiabatical fields. To obtain a weight for each Monte Carlo sample with a fixed configuration of adiabatical fields, a series expansion using Chebyshev polynomials is applied. By introducing truncations of matrix operations in a systematic and controlled way, it is shown that the cpu time is reduced from O(N³) to O(N) where N is the system size. Benchmark results show that the implementation of the algorithm makes it possible to perform systematic investigations of critical phenomena using system-size scalings even for an electronic model in three dimensions, within a realistic cpu timescale.
