Biasing Monte-Carlo Simulations through RAVE Values
The Monte-Carlo Tree Search algorithm has been successfully applied in various domains. However, its performance heavily depends on the Monte-Carlo part. In this paper, we propose a generic way of improving the Monte-Carlo simulations by using RAVE values, which already strongly improved the tree part of the algorithm. We prove the generality and efficiency of our approach by showing improvemen...
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 کاملA New Approach to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
We describe a new algorithm that approaches Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics in a different way. Instead of sampling the probability distribution at a fixed temperature, a random walk is performed in energy space to directly extract an estimate for the density of states. The canonical probability can then be found at any temperature by weighting by the appropriate Boltzmann factor,...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
Preface Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Computing facilities-like work stations and PCs, with high speed and large memory are becoming increasingly and easily available to researchers and students since recent times. This is particularly true in our country; the growth has been rapid and is most likely to become more rapid in the coming years. As a result, co...
