Combined Analysis of Numerical Diagonalization and Renormalization Group   methods for the One-Dimensional $U$-$V$ Model at Quarter filling
  The one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with both the on-site $U$ and the nearest neighbor $V$ interactions at quarter filling is studied by using a novel finite size scaling. We diagonalize finite size systems numerically and calculate the Luttinger-liquid parameter $K_{\rho}$ which is substituted into the renormalization group equation as an initial condition. It leads $K_\rho$ in the infinite size system and the result agrees very well with the available exact result with $U=\infty$. This approach also yields the charge gap in the insulating state near the metal-insulator transition where the characteristic energy becomes exponentially small and the usual finite size scaling is not applicable.
