Abstract

We present an iterative Monte Carlo algorithm for which the temperature variable is attracted by a critical point. The algorithm combines techniques of single histogram reweighting and linear filtering. The ferromagnetic 2D Ising model is studied numerically as an illustration. In that case, the iterations reach a stationary regime with an invariant probability distribution function of temperature which peaked near the pseudocritical temperature of the specific heat. The sequence of generated temperatures is analyzed in terms of stochastic autoregressive model. The error of histogram reweighting can be better understood within the suggested model. The presented model yields a simple relation, connecting the variance of pseudocritical temperature and the parameter of linear filtering.
