Abstract
Recent fundamental advances in formulating a reliable all-temperature lattice dynamics contain an uncontrolled approximation - the low-coupl ing approximation - routinely used in implementing the effective-poten tial Monte Carlo theory. We find that this approximation is most relia ble when used in conjunction with the improved effective-potential Mon te Carlo theory.
