Abstract
Performance of Wang-Landau (WL) algorithm in two continuous spin models is tested by determining the fluctuations in energy histogram. Finite size scaling is performed on a modified XY-model using different WL sampling schemes. Difficulties faced in simulating relatively large continuous systems using WL algorithm are discussed.
