Abstract

Scaling relations of cluster distributions for the Wolff algorithm are derived. We found them to be well satisfied for the Ising model ind=3 dimensions. Using scaling and a parametrization of the cluster distribution, we determine the critical exponentβ/ν=0.516(6) with moderate effort in computing time.
