Abstract
Recently overtaxation methods, used to speed up convergence of matrix inversion algorithms, have been generalized to stochastic processes and resulted in faster decorrelations. We discuss this stochastic overtaxation in a field theoretical formulation based on a Langevin equation. Reversible mode coupling is shown to cause reduction of the dynamical critical exponent from z = 2 to z = 1 for a free field theory. Numerical results indicate that this conclusion also holds for certain interacting models. This suggests that stochastic overtaxation algorithms might have their own dynamical universality class.
