Under second and third nearest neighbour ferromagnetic couplings of the constituent Ising spins, triangular lattice antiferromagnets develop long-range order that distinguishes the three sublattices of the triangular lattice. In this talk, I will chalk out two cluster algorithms which we developed for such frustrated systems and discuss the various melting scenarios of the long-range order. I will also discuss the performance and statistics of the algorithms and show their connection to Brownian motion in a logarithmic potential.
