Abstract
In this article, Swendsen-Wang-Wolff algorithms are extended to simulate sp atial point processes with symmetric and stationary interactions. Convergen ce of these algorithms is considered. Some further generalizations of the a lgorithms are discussed. The ideas presented in this article can also be us eful in handling some large and complicated systems.
