Abstract: Here we report a precise computer simulation study of the static critical properties of the two-dimensional $q$-states Potts model using very accurate data obtained from a modified Wang-Landau (WL) scheme proposed by Caparica and Cunha-Netto [Phys. Rev. E {�f 85}, 046702 (2012)]. This algorithm is an extension of the conventional WL sampling, but the authors changed the criterion to update the density of states during the random walk and established a new procedure to windup the simulation run. These few changes have allowed a more precise microcanonical averaging which is essential to a reliable finite-size scaling analysis. In this work we used this new technique to determine the static critical exponents $$, $gamma$, and $u$, in an unambiguous fashion. The static critical exponents were determined as $$, $gamma=1.44716(72)$, and $u=0.818892(58)$, for the $q=3$ case, and $$, $gamma=1.2855(13)$, and $u=0.70640(10)$, for the $q=4$ Potts model. A comparison of the present results with conjectured values and with those obtained from other well established approaches strengthens this new way of performing WL simulations.
