Abstract
Improved hull walking algorithms for two-dimensional percolation are proposed. In these algorithms a walker explores the external perimeter of percolation clusters. With our modifications very large systems (sizeL) can be studied with finite and small memory requirement and in computation time τ∼L 7/4. Applications in determining spanning probabilities, continuum percolation, and percolation with nonuniform occupation probability are pointed out.
