- Description
- We show that for two-dimensional square Ising systems unphysical frozen states are obtained by just changing the instant of application of periodic boundary conditions during Monte Carlo simulations. The strange behavior is observed up to sample sizes currently used in literature. The anomalous results appear to be associated to the simultaneous use of type writer updating algorithms; they disappears when random access routines are implemented.
