Universality and double critical end points.
A double critical end point in the two-dimensional spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model is studied via extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The resultant scaling character of the probability distribution of the mixing scaling operators allows us to locate the double critical end point precisely and also to convincingly show that it indeed belongs to the same universality class as the critical points.
