Abstract
The problem of applying Wolff’s cluster algorithm to anisotropic classical spin models is resolved by modifying a part of the Wolff algorithm. To test the effectiveness of our modified algorithm, the spin–van der Waals model is investigated in detail. Our estimate of the dynamical exponent of the model is z=0.19±0.04.
