J_{1}-J_{2} fractal studied by multirecursion tensor-network method.

We generalize a tensor-network algorithm to study the thermodynamic properties of self-similar spin lattices constructed on a square-lattice frame with two types of couplings, J_{1}^{} and J_{2}^{}, chosen to transform a regular square lattice (J_{1}^{}=J_{2}^{}) onto a fractal lattice if decreasing J_{2}^{} to zero (the fractal fully reconstructs when J_{2}^{}=0). We modified the higher-order tensor renormalization group (HOTRG) algorithm for this purpose. Single-site measurements are performed by means of so-called impurity tensors. So far, only a single local tensor and uniform extension-contraction relations have been considered in HOTRG. We introduce 10 independent local tensors, each being extended and contracted by 15 different recursion relations. We applied the Ising model to the J_{1}^{}-J_{2}^{} planar fractal whose Hausdorff dimension at J_{2}^{}=0 is d^{(H)}=ln12/ln4≈1.792. The generalized tensor-network algorithm is applicable to a wide range of fractal patterns and is suitable for models without translational invariance.
