Hello,

Well, the figure seems to indicate that something is still changing a bit in the wavefunction.

I think it would be interesting to see what happens by performing more sweeps, and by looking at the convergence of other observables.

In general it is important to note that the energy converges faster than other observables, e.g. long-range quantities.

A typical example is: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.056401

Best,

Michele

Dear Michele,

Thanks so much for your response. I got a very strange truncation error pattern which is attached. What is the meaning of this kind of pattern? The total energy of the simulation matches the other DMRG result for the same model parameters to 1e-5. The truncation error is calculated by the same method in Computer Physics Communications, 185(12):3430 – 3440, 2014. Thanks.

Best regards,

Rongyang

Subject: Re: [ALPS-users] The meaning of the 'TruncatedWeight' in ALPS MPS simulation

Dear Rongyang,

The TruncatedWeight is the sum of the square of the discarded singular values during a truncation.

This is the same value used in other DMRG applications.

Best regards,

Michele

Dear ALPS users,

The ALPS MPS code can print 'TruncatedWeight' to estimate the error of the simulation. I have a question:

What is the meaning of this quantity and the relation with the truncation error in traditional DMRG simulation?

For Fig. 5 in Computer Physics Communications, 185(12):3430 – 3440, 2014., the quantity may be summed as the final truncation error after a sweep.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Rongyang Sun
