In a recent paper we presented a stochastic Green function (SGF) algorithm, which has the properties of being general and easy to apply to any lattice Hamiltonian of the form Ĥ=V̂−T̂, where V̂ is diagonal in the chosen occupation number basis and T̂ has only positive matrix elements. We propose here a modified version of the update scheme that keeps the simplicity and generality of the original SGF algorithm, and significantly enhances its efficiency.
