Abstract
We study a number of Monte Carlo algorithms for the simulation of ice models, and compare their efficiency. One of them, a cluster algorithm for the equivalent three-color model, appears to have a dynamic expon ent close to zero, making it particularly useful for simulations of cr itical ice models. We have performed extensive simulations using our a lgorithms to determine a number of critical exponents for the square i ce and F models.
