Abstract

The wavelet-accelerated Monte Carlo (WAMC) algorithm is presented, which dramatically reduces the time required to calculate the thermodynamic behavior of a lattice system. The error that results is a function of position in parameter space. Near critical points, deviations from results performed on the original lattice system are the result of coarse-graining the Hamiltonian by eliminating local fluctuation terms.
