For d<6 they are preliminary, for d >= 6 they are between 20 to 10^4 times more precise than the best previous estimates. This was achieved by three ingredients: (i) simple and fast hashing which allowed us to simulate clusters of millions of sites on computers with less than 500 MB memory; (ii) a histogram method which allowed us to obtain information for several p values from a single simulation; and (iii) a new variance reduction technique which is especially efficient at high dimensions where it reduces error bars by a factor up to approximately 30 and more. Based on these data we propose a new scaling law for finite cluster size corrections.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-08-01T16:27:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high dimensions", "critical percolation", "monte carlo estimates", "finite cluster size corrections", "bond percolation thresholds" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
