A surrogate accelerated multicanonical Monte Carlo method for uncertainty quantification
In this work we consider a class of uncertainty quantification problems where the system performance or reliability is characterized by a scalar parameter y. The performance parameter y is random due to the presence of various sources of uncertainty in the system, and our goal is to estimate the probability density function (PDF) of y. We propose to use the multicanonical Monte Carlo (MMC) meth...
متن کاملMulticanonical Monte Carlo simulations
Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of disordered systems like spin glasses and systems undergoing rst-order phase transitions are severely hampered by rare event states which lead to exponentially diverging autocorrelation times with increasing system size and hence to exponentially large statistical errors. One possibility to overcome this problem is the multicanonical reweighting method. Using...

متن کاملMulticanonical hybrid Monte Carlo for compact QED
We demonstrate that substantial progress can be achieved in the study of the phase structure of 4-dimensional compact QED by a joint use of hybrid Monte Carlo and multicanonical algorithms, through an efficient parallel implementation. This is borne out by the observation of considerable speedup of tunnelling between the metastable states, close to the phase transition, on the Wilson line. Our ...
متن کاملA multilevel Monte Carlo method for high-dimensional uncertainty quantification of low-frequency electromagnetic devices
This work addresses uncertainty quantification of electromagnetic devices determined by the eddy current problem. The multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method is used for the treatment of uncertain parameters while the devices are discretized in space by the finite element method. Both methods yield numerical approximations such that the total errors is split into stochastic and spatial contributio...
