Its performance improves significantly compared to that of the Berretti-Sokal algorithm, which is a variant of the Metropolis Hastings method. The gained efficiency increases with spatial dimension (D), from approximately 10 times in 2D to approximately 40 times in 5D. We simulate the SAW on a 5D hypercubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions, for a linear system with a size up to L = 128, and confirm that as for the 5D Ising model, the finite-size scaling of the SAW is governed by renormalized exponents, υ^* = 2/d and γ/υ^* = d/2. The critical point is determined, which is approximately 8 times more precise than the best available estimate.展开更多
