Finite-size scaling (FSS) has been established as a powerful standard technique for
the analysis of phase transitions, in particular from numerical simulation data.
While in the common situation of a second (or even first) order phase transition, FSS
techniques easily lead to high-precision estimates, more care is needed in some
special circumstances such as the case of infinite-order
Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions, where the power laws are replaced
by exponentials and logarithmic corrections occur. We consider FSS in the
six-vertex F model representative of this universality class, using high-precision,
cluster-update Monte Carlo simulations [1]. The availability of an exact
solution for the thermodynamic limit of this model allows for a rather detailed
investigation of the occurring corrections. Extending on this, a further complication
is introduced by considering this model coupled to a class of random lattices with a
non-trivial fractal dimension, confining
the analysis to very small effective linear system sizes [2].
