Abstract
It was recently shown [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 227201 (2013)] that the critical behavior of the random-field Ising model in three dimensions is ruled by a single universality class. This conclusion was reached only after a proper taming of the large scaling corrections of the model by applying a combined approach of various techniques, coming from the zero-and positive-temperature toolboxes of statistical physics. In the present contribution we provide a detailed description of this combined scheme, explaining in detail the zero-temperature numerical scheme and developing the generalized fluctuation-dissipation formula that allowed us to compute connected and disconnected correlation functions of the model. We discuss the error evolution of our method and we illustrate the infinite limit-size extrapolation of several observables within phenomenological renormalization. We present an extension of the quotients method that allows us to obtain estimates of the critical exponent a of the specific heat of the model via the scaling of the bond energy and we discuss the self-averaging properties of the system and the algorithmic aspects of the maximum-flow algorithm used.

100. Due to a programming error, the quantity denoted as ξ in Ref. [79] did not coincide with the standard definition of the second-moment correlation length (see also Erratum of Ref. [79]). We would like to point out that this error is corrected here and the results shown in Figs. 1 and 2 fully conform to the standard definition.

106. The reader may check that this procedure is inconsequential for the Gaussian or the Poissonian distributions. For instance, in the Gaussian case, the analogous of Eq. (30) obtained by modifying simultaneously the width of the distribution, σ→σ+δσ, would be Gzy|σ+δσ=hz⟨Sy⟩RGσ,δσ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∣∣σ/(σ+δσ)2, where RGσ,δσ is the reweighting factor appropriated for the Gaussian distribution; see Eq. (37). This is exactly the same result that one obtains by combining Eqs. (30) and (40).

120. Note, however, that we do not compute the susceptibility for each sample. Rather, we compute quantities χˆ tailored in such a way that their average over the random fields is the susceptibility χ; recall Eqs. (32), (45), and (63). The self-averageness ratio is computed from such χˆ.
