Efficient Monte Carlo Simulation Methods in Statistical Physics
The basic problem in equilibrium statistical mechanics is to compute phase space average, in which Monte Carlo method plays a very important role. We begin with a review of nonlocal algorithms for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics. We discuss their advantages, applications, and some challenge problems which are still awaiting for better solutions. We discuss some of the...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Monte Carlo Simulation of Statistical Physics Problems
A brief introduction to the technique of Monte Carlo for simulation of statistical physics problems is presented. Ising spin model is taken as an example. The topics covered include random and pseudo random numbers, random sampling techniques, Markov chain, Metropolis algorithm, continuous phase transition, statistical errors from correlated and uncorrelated data, finite size scaling, critical ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
In these notes I discuss Monte Carlo simulations for the study of classical models in statistical mechanics. I include a simple and direct proof that the method converges to the Boltzmann distribution. Usually, physics articles discuss this important point by just giving a reference to the mathematical literature on " Markov chains " , where the proof is rather abstract. In these notes I give a...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations in classical statistical physics
Monte Carlo simulation is a very important class of stochastic methods for calculating thermal properties of many-particle systems—arguably these are the most important numerical techniques in statistical physics. Monte Carlo simulation methods are related to the elementary Monte Carlo integration methods that we discussed earlier, but are based on more efficient non-uniform sampling schemes. B...
متن کاملPhysics 115/242 Monte Carlo simulations in Statistical Physics
In equilibrium statistical physics (often called “statistical mechanics”) we consider the behavior of a system in equilibrium with its surroundings (a “heatbath”). The energy of the system is not exactly fixed because it can exchange energy with the bath, and the state of the system is not fixed. Statistical mechanics tells us that the system has a certain probability that the system can be in ...
