In this way the relaxation time is significantly reduced. Another way to view this is through the correspondence between the spin statistics and cluster statistics in the 2287:
The SW algorithm does however satisfy detailed-balance. To show this, we note that every transition between two Ising spin states must pass through some bond configuration in the percolation representation. Let's fix a particular bond configuration: what matters in comparing the probabilities related

Ergodicity means that it is possible to transit from any initial state to any final state with a finite number of updates. It has been shown that the SW algorithm is not ergodic in general (in the thermodynamic limit). Thus in practice, the SW algorithm is usually used in conjunction with single

After assigning the bond variables, we identify the same-spin clusters formed by connected sites and make an inversion of all the variables in the cluster with probability 1/2. At the following time step we have a new starting Ising configuration, which will produce a new clustering and a new

Since the first term contains a restriction on the spin values whereas there is no restriction in the second term, the weighting factors (properly normalized) can be interpreted as probabilities of forming/not forming a link between the sites:
1338: 1764: 1104: 1177: 3334:
This is valid for every bond configuration the system can pass through during its evolution, so detailed balance is satisfied for the total transition probability. This proves that the algorithm is correct.

The first approach is to extend the bond-formation rules to more non-local cells, and the second approach is to generate clusters based on more relevant order parameters. In the first case, we have the
