Abstract
We have performed a high-precision Monte Carlo study of the dynamic cr itical behavior of the Swendsen-Wang algorithm for the two-dimensional three-state Ports model. We find that the Li-Sokal bound (tau(int,E) greater than or equal to const x C-H) is almost but not quite sharp. T he ratio tau(int,E)/C-H Seems to diverge either as a small power (appr oximate to 0.08) or as a logarithm.
