Dear Matthias,
I attach to this mail the lattice and model files I am trying to use.
test.py is then the python file which uses them.

Many thanks again.
Regards.

Hi,

can you send your complete set of input files as otherwise it is hard to help.

Dear ALPS developers,
Thank you for your quick and very helpful reply.
I might be doing something wrong as is the first time I define a lattice in ALPS by myself.
I want to add to the Heisenberg Hamiltonian on a 1d spin chain the term

Sz(i)*Sz(i+2)

In the lattice file I set the basis as

 <BASIS><VECTOR>1</VECTOR></BASIS>

and in the unit cell I put the two bonds

<EDGE type="0"><SOURCE vertex="1" offset="0"/><TARGET vertex="1" offset="1"/></EDGE>
  <EDGE type="1"><SOURCE vertex="1" offset="0"/><TARGET vertex="1" offset="2"/></EDGE>

which, as far I have understood connect respectively sites 1, and 2 lattice spacing far.
Then in the model file I define the bond operators as

<BONDOPERATOR type="0" name="usual" source="x" target="y">

   usual Heisenberg bond term...

 </BONDOPERATOR>  

<BONDOPERATOR type="1" name="test" source="x" target="y">

   Sz(x)*Sz(y)

 </BONDOPERATOR>  

and I put them in the Hamiltonian as

 <BONDTERM type="0" source="i" target="j">

       usual(i,j)

   </BONDTERM>

   <BONDTERM type="1" source="i" target="j">

      Jtest*test(i,j)

   </BONDTERM>

But it gives me error. It creates the parameter file but doesn't manage to compute any simulations (fulldiag, dmrg, etc etc).

I think is the way I have written it that has something wrong. Moreover I don't manage to use printgraph in any way to see if the lattice is correct. Do I have to use printgraph on the xml lattice file?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Kindest regards.
