Invaded cluster algorithm for a tricritical point in a diluted Potts model.
The invaded cluster approach is extended to the two-dimensional Potts model with annealed vacancies by using the random-cluster representation. Geometrical arguments are used to propose the algorithm which converges to the tricritical point in the two-dimensional parameter space spanned by temperature and the chemical potential of the vacancies. The tricritical point is identified as a simultaneous onset of the percolation of a Fortuin-Kasteleyn cluster and of a percolation of the "geometrical disorder cluster." The location of the tricritical point and the concentration of vacancies for q=1,2,3 are found to be in good agreement with the best known results. Scaling properties of the percolating scaling cluster and related critical exponents are also presented.
