Abstract
We propose a modified form of a tensor renormalization group algorithm for evaluating partition functions of classical statistical mechanical models on 2D lattices. This algorithm coarse-grains only the rows and columns of the lattice adjacent to a single core tensor at each step, such that the lattice size shrinks linearly with the number of coarse-graining steps as opposed to shrinking exponentially as in the usual tensor renormalization group (TRG). However, the cost of this new approach only scales as $O(\chi^4)$ in terms of the bond dimension $\chi$, significantly cheaper than the $O(\chi^6)$ cost scaling of TRG, whereas numerical benchmarking indicates that both approaches have comparable accuracy for the same bond dimension $\chi$. It follows that the new algorithm can allow for more accurate investigation of classical models on modestly sized lattices than is possible with standard TRG.
