Abstract

In this talk I present a multicanonical hybrid-like two-step algorithm, which consists of a microcanonical spin system update with demons, and a multicanonical demon refresh. The demons act as a buffer between the multicanonical heat bath and the spin system, allowing for a large variety of update schemes. In this work the cluster algorithm is demonstrated with the 2-dimensional 7-state Potts model, using volumes up to 1282.
